Black Lives Matter Activists Plan to Disrupt Black Friday Shopping in Major Cities
PJ Media ^ | November 23, 2016 | Debra Heine

Black Lives Matter agitators plan to disrupt Black Friday shopping in at least two cities this year in an attempt to draw attention to what they call unjustified police shootings. Organizers in Chicago and Seattle are planning demonstrations that they hope will attract thousands of protesters. In Seattle, as many as 2,700 people may attend a Black Lives Matter protest downtown on Black Friday, according to a Facebook page set up by the "Black Freedom Front of Seattle."

Carry concealed people. You're life may depend on it. Stop this crap at the start. If you see it, do something about it.

ENOUGH!

“How do you gain any sympathy or support for your cause, if your goal is to disrupt people’s lives???....Or are these people just anarchists and black lives matter is just a vehicle for protest????”

I think they are hoping for a violent backlash. They are not interested in “rais[ing your] consciousness”. They want confrontation. I can only assume they want that for two reasons:

1) “Justice” - “We suffer for being black in a white supremacist society so you should suffer too, honky!”

2) Backlash to play the victim - They want someone to go overboard and harm some of their perfectly expendable members so they can then play the victim card, “We were just protesting like the great Civil Rights leaders of decades ago, and this racist came up and started punching us! We want the Feds in here to defend our civil right to protest!”

Otherwise, it makes no sense at all and is a huge waste of time, money and effort.

They must believe these tactics are helping them. I just don’t really see it, however.

BLM needs to be taught a lesson. NEVER get between a black crowd and a Black Friday sale!

“BLING! 50% OFF! GET YOURS NOW!”

This just gives Seattle shoppers an excuse to go to Portland for Tax Free Black Friday shopping. Way to wreck your own hood BLM.

Oh, and "as many as 2700 . . . " is probably code for 20 bored WHITE millenials and Rachel Dozetal driving down from Spokane.

“Carry concealed people. You’re life may depend on it.”

People are taking CCW qualification classes like crazy where I live. I live in an area where there are multiple sites offering classes and they are all full. One target range I frequent just concluded a class with 12 people. That might not sound like much, but the room only holds 12 students at a time so they were maxed out. They offer a class each month, all full. That’s just one range. This is happening everywhere.

That will attract a lot of support for their cause. Suburban housewives who are out Christmas shopping just LOVE to be harassed by drug-addled thugs and rent-a-mobs.

We should call these acts "Trump Recruitment Rallies."

They better think twice.... Black Friday shoppers are pretty darn ruthless, they’re likely to get their a$$es handed to them.

This would be a huge win for our side. Remind people why Trump is the right man for these times.

FWIW, these losers HAVE NOT YET been reported since the Miami Florida malls opened a couple of hours ago.

Of course, it is about noon... most are probably still in bed.

How do you gain any sympathy or support for your cause, if your goal is to disrupt people’s lives???

Answer: they don't.

The objective is to polarize, to provoke hostility from whites against blacks, which (they hope) will have the result of increasing solidarity among blacks, and increased willingness among blacks to support their perceived protectors, the Democrat Party.

More money for amazon.

Between BLM and the crazy crowds, you wouldn’t catch me at a brick and mortar store on Black Friday.

They wouldn’t be doing this if someone wasn’t paying them.

[”One of the cornerstones about why we’re boycotting on Black Friday is to attempt to redirect people to businesses owned by people of color and women, and explain why it’s important to patronize these businesses,” said Kimberly Veal, a leader of Black Lives Matter.]

BLM COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.
