So what took these protesters to this “tiny” village? I lived in Ohio my entire life and can tell you I never heard of Bethel but I looked it up and is just thirty miles from Cincinnati. I can say these clowns start going into these rural villages they are in big trouble.

Thanks for your opinion, and welcome to FR.

Hanging to too good for some folks.

Some Leftists are already playing games. I Google Bethel Ohio and this is what showed up in the Wikipedia entry on the Google result:

"Bethel is a very racist village in Clermont County, Ohio, United States.The population was 2,711 at the 2010 census.Bethel was founded in 1798 by Obed Denham as Denham Town, in what was then the Northwest Territory.Bethel is the home of the first movie theater in Ohio which was founded in 1908 by Aaron Little."

The Wikipedia page itself does not show that phrasing in the first sentence.

I agree. The commies would have looked much better with their heads kicked in.

Sure, you already played into their hands, might as well get our side thrown in jail at the same time.

[Irenic]

Good. If we want this to stop—we have to stop it.

[ScottinVA]

Not a good look.

How is a show of force and readiness to fight against the potential of looting and arson "not a good look?"

“The bikers told people they were coming to shut this crap down.”

Yes, the bikers had the First Amendment Right to tell people that.

The councilman said he thanked BLM for showing restraint!!! You have got to be kidding me we are being run by cowards and PC ignorant idiots.

[Salamander]

What kind of “man” knocks down a 90 year old woman?

He must be really proud of himself.

[ifinnegan]

Everybody’s fat.

[RWGinger]

I think there is information missing.
Who would even know about this protest

[setter]

“Raise your hand if you think that maybe, just maybe, the person who struck the BLM protestor from behind was a BLM or Antifa plant!”

I really doubt it. People are getting fed up and are going to start fighting back.

[dhs12345]

Excellent point. Expect it to escalate out of control if the rioters expand into areas outside of the major cities. But maybe they know better not to.

[Salamander]

On the day of the protest, 250 motorcycles arrived and occupied the area reserved for the demonstration.

And that is the point at which you reassess your own whiny fauxtest and go home.

"A Black Lives Matter protest of around 80 people in a tiny Ohio town home to just 13 black residents"

I wonder how many of the 80 BLM Protesters were actually white leftists?

[dhs12345]

But it has been proven that there are violent antifa types hiding in the crowds.

[Mears]

Sitting here watching an old Law and Order...2009.......cops just arrested some idiots that went out screaming “No justice,no peace.”........Aaaarrrggg.

He probably thought it was funny.
