Violence toward Black Lives Matter activists erases any doubt: We live in a time of racial strife
The Washington Post's The Fix ^ | November 27, 2015 | Janell Ross

First there was that incident at the Trump rally in Alabama. You know, the one where a protester with, shall we say, some ideas that are not terribly compatible with those of Trump or many of his supporters, showed up. He wound up on the ground, taking a beating and throwing some punches of his own before security booted him from the gathering.

And then this week, much of the country learned of news that what has seriously been described as masked men shot five people protesting what they believe to be a questionable police shooting near a Minneapolis police station late Monday.

Details of the first event are, despite what conservative media outlets have all but insisted, pretty clear. They were, after all, caught on tape. The particulars surrounding the second event — the shootings in Minneapolis — are developing. Three people have been brought into custody, while another suspect was released.

But there are some early hints of a possible theme here that cannot ignored. In both cases, protesters who identify themselves as connected to or concerned with the goals of the still relatively young Black Lives Matter movement became the targets of what appear to be politically motivated violence. Yes, politically motivated violence directed at one's perceived political opposition, other citizens.

Violence, it seems, has reemerged as a kind of political commentary or expression, right here in the United States. Americans, or at least people living in the United States, have twice in the last week used violence in an attempt to silence or intimidate other Americans engaged in political protest....

Janel Ross, another Affirmative Action hire who is overpaid for thinking with her skin.

How long will people accept a complete inversion of the truth? The biggest single social problem we have is an out-of-control feral black population. The lie of “discrimination” as the source of social problems results in epidemic crime, bad political outcomes, and wasted “social welfare” spending. The “commentator” needs to leave her undoubtedly comfortable, relatively safe neighborhood and go live in the Hood with the people she is shilling for.

I think all of this BLM BS is because 0bama supporters have just realized: one year left and it doesn’t look like they are going to get the free house, free car with free gas and free everything.

BLM is a domestic terror group.

Tell me I’m racist just because I’m white. Tell me of my privilege just because I’m white. Do all this without knowing my personal story, and repeatedly browbeat me day in and day out simply for existing. At some point, I’m going to say enough is enough and take a stand.

Keep whipping that dog. Eventually he’s going rip your throat out.

The article is pure projection. It’s BLM that won’t tolerate dissent. If you do not agree with them, you will be set upon.
There is no resolution to their demands. Like all blackmailers, they only increase them.

Racial strife is Obama’s legacy to the American people of every color.

A couple of nuts and their criminal actions don’t make a tsunami of anti- BLM violence.

Just look at the violence practiced by the BLM movement on campuses and now in downtown Chicago where they prevented people from making an honest living in their stores.

That is the true story about BLM but Jannell Ross wouldn’t know the “truth” if it bit her in the butt. Butt then again, she is writing for the Wash. Post where the “truth” is a rare commodity on a good day.

This is the Left getting a taste of it's own medicine and it's long overdue.

Follow the A.C.O.R.N. money. BLM is just the latest version, and heavily funded by the current regime with our tax $$$.
