BLM has issued yet another "official warning" * to Chicago's Mayor Lori Lightfoot that the violence -- 100 arrested the night of August 9 - 10 for looting on toney Michigan Avenue downtown; 13 police officers injured -- will continue until and unless the city's police department is defunded... (*See "Chicago Sun-Times," August 11, article on same.)

'Black Lives Matter' the perfect 'PC' slogan to mask criminal activity to 'Defund the Police' For if black lives truly matter the group's aims and its violent means are the height of hypocrisy Just ask law-abiding black folks screaming for police protection for their families and their community

People who threaten violence and destruction to further their agenda are terrorists, regardless of their color.

Time to label BLM as a terrorist organization, based on their words as well as their deeds. They've abandoned all pretense of trying to improve this country and/or achieve equity. See what they're demanding in Seattle?! Unbelievable. Time to shut 'em down; silence is acceptance. Plus 'broken windows theory' in play here. :) gw

I don't think we should give any title a specific color. It just seems to create more divide and more hate. Some people are hell bent in repeating the 60's. Great poem GW

Right, you are! Whatever happened to a 'color-blind' society, the dream of Dr. King. Whoa! EVERYTHING is color, race, and non-negotiable bias these days. Thanks, Mark! :) gw

It is really unfortunate.. Some of them don't have any logic to protest..

Please understand, Jenish. BLM is not 'protesting' anything. They're demanding instant revolution --- and when they don't get it, they loot, burn, and destroy. They are a black version of the Antifa that is terrorizing Portland, Oregon now. They need to be shut down and locked up, and then we can ask all the questions we want about 'how this happened to/in the USA.' (Even though the answers are plain to anyone with two eyes and a brain in his head). Thanks, Gershon
