To their credit, BLM has not gotten all the rioting, looting and burning going as they did last year in Kenosha, Wisconsin. And the decision not to try the policeman for shooting the black man did not start it as many expected.
The law forces were on high alert and even the Wisconsin National Guard was called in.
Perhaps the size of forces arrayed against them caused BLM to back down from rioting. Very likely the fact that it is winter and kind of cold around this part of the country had something to do with no looting.
Perhaps, even, those folks have finally figured out that rioting, looting and burning do absolutely nothing for their cause but turn off many people, including me, from any possible support. Although, in my case, the fact they are the ones messing with Confederate monuments is enough to turn me against them.
I agree that too many black people get hurt or killed by the police, but in most cases that I have seen, the problem started when the Blacks refused to obey the police. Had they done what the police had said, the problem would not have taken place.
That man in Kenosha who was shot, had been tasered three times and did not go down. Most people who are tazed go down after just one shot. Either Kenosha cops are using bad tasers or there was something going on with the black guy. And then, after repeated requests and multiple tazing, the guy grabbed a knife. Come On!!! However, getting shot that many times was way too much.
I'd sure like to know if he had a criminal record in Evanston, Illinois, where he grew up, or one in Kenosha where he had moved. And why did the woman he'd had children with call the police? Was he doing something wrong?
Like Chris Rock says" "Obey the law and be polite."
This just in, "Tonight's riot is canceled because it's too cold."
But, I Am So Proud of BLM for Not Rioting, Looting or Burning. Thanks Guys. --Old Secesh
