It sucks that the black lives matter movement was apparently highjacked or at least seen that way (to me anyhow) when many of the street protests turned violent and criminal by some lame opportunists. By the way, when someone says, "well, I back the blue" it usually means "I am at least racist-light and I don't give a rat's ass about the long-standing struggles of black people in this country." It is not - or at least should not be - open season on blacks or cops.....but maybe I am too idealistic.

That was just the beginning. Now we have people like the bitch in the Huntington Beach clip literally screaming in the streets (and worse).
I am not sure that the United States of America still are, or can be again. Maybe we need to split the place up. Of course, the dear lady above might need to move to Alabama.

Ha. The "BLM" confusion was a plot device in the White Lotus miniseries last year.
I have been to a lot of social justice protests but don't recall seeing a Black Lives Matter flag that incorporates the US flag.
