A group of white Black Lives Matter protesters harassed diners at several outdoor restaurants in Washington, D.C. on Monday night. The activists ordered diners to raise their fists as a sign of solidarity; those who didn't were heckled and verbally abused. Videos of the incidents sparked backlash on social media with many describing the protesters as an aggressive mob. "White silence is violence", protesters chant. BLM protests have gained renewed momentum following the shooting of unarmed black man Jacob Blake in Wisconsin on Sunday.

'Are you a Christian?' one of the women shout, outraged by the fact Victor was unwilling to raise her fist in solidarity. 'No justice, no peace!' the large group of activists then start yelling. Victor later told Washington Post reporter Frederik Kunkle that she felt that she was 'under attack'.
Ironically, Victor is a supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement and has participated in many marches, but didn't want to be 'coerced' into showing support. 'In the moment, it didn't feel right,' she stated. 'I wasn't actually frightened. I didn't think they'd do anything to me. I'm very much with them. I've been marching with them for weeks and weeks and weeks.'
Many on Twitter took issue with the race of the Black Lives Matter protesters accosting Victor. Almost all of those seen in the video were white, with several people accusing the activists of undermining the positive work that black organizers have been doing in recent months.
'I see no black faces at all. These dopes will ruin this movement for all of us,' African-American TV anchor Derek McGinty wrote. Others stated that it would turn people away from supporting the movement. 'You don't win supporters by screaming in people's faces and intimidating them. How many people have watched this video and been turned off? Is it about making a real change or just ego gratification?
Another bluntly theorized: 'This gives Trump four more years.'
I wish all self loathing Whites would just kill themselves.
Or come to their senses, but there’s less of a chance of that.
Wish she had said: no mask and I felt threatened just before I shot the little s!!thead. Brave guy there. Just a soy boy bully. In my old neighborhood he would end up in the ER.
I would have raised my fist...and slowly given them the middle finger.
That kid needs be put down as he is already ruined.
This can only lead to bad things for these protesters...do that to the wrong person and someone is going to get hurt.
Nazi’s at work, Pelosi is proud.
Love it ;>)
In my current back woods area...they’d be in the morgue.
We have yet to grasp just how evil Democrats have become.
“This can only lead to bad things for these protesters...do that to the wrong person and someone is going to get hurt.”
Of course! And the folks behind all this mess WANT THAT. Will give them the ‘right’ to go rioting even more violently.
Look at all those privileged white useful idiots, who will eventually be used for fodder.
One patron was noted as saying “Are you kidding, no one gets between me and my cannoli”.
yes, shame on the adults with that kid.
What a bunch of crap. I feel more for animals in a zoo than these terrorists.
Unfortunately in my neighborhood someone would say your daughter is alive so killing the assaultors would not be justice!
