Claiming BLM protests were violent? Verifiably false and propaganda.
A dozen people died. A lot more were injured. How were they not violent?
Actually, scratch that. Define violence.
I don't need to educate you, do it yourself.
Per capita, more people are assaulted at protests in front of abortion clinics. Or on public transit. It's propaganda and parroting it is the reason people will call you a nazi.
I didn't ask you to educate me. I asked you what you thought violence is. It certainly doesn't line up with the rest of us.
Ok
Very philosophical for a non-educational discussion /s
