Black people get blamed for everything, doesn’t matter what it is.
I was heart broken tonight actually doing some digging on this very thing, because I honestly thought it was just another media ploy. Wow to hear the cries of people begging them to stop or asking why their doing it or calling out the impact to blacks it would have and BLM and people knew what they were doing and not caring I was surprised. We have to do better.
If I had an answer I'd give it sad 😞
"It wasn't black and brown folks that were antagonizing police. It was white people throwing stuff at them," he said. "And then when they kept throwing bags of urine, cans, and water bottles, that's when the police snapped and they started tear-gassing innocent bystanders."

"They started breaking the glass, set off a firework in the bank, and started a fire," she told BuzzFeed News. Then they moved to a Walgreens across the street and "did the same thing."
"I noticed each time, once they were in and protesters began to move in [too], the men dressed in black left almost immediately, and then the peaceful protestors would be sprayed with tear gas," Cruz recalled. "It seemed very organized."
Noted by protesters and recorded in Oakland too

How do we know all these anarchists are white?
Google the video yesterday from Pittsburgh. White Anarchist started destroying the cop car outside of PPG Arena and the BLM protestors were trying to stop him.

We need to treat Antifa like terrorist and weed them out.
Look at the videos in TV. There are white, latino, asian and black. Can’t say it’s only done by one group.
I don’t know because I wasn’t there, but there’s mounting evidence that the violence and looting is STARTED by someone other than the actual BLM protestors

Come on buddy, we all saw the news coverage. We all saw what happened.
There was plenty of violence in Chicago caused by non-whites as well. Don't think we can blame this on one group in particular.
I don’t disagree. Note I said “a lot”, not all.
Similarly, one act of violence from one person can be a tinder spark in a previously peaceful group of people due to emotions running high.
What I’m trying to push against is not painting the BLM protesters with broad strokes as “violent” and “thugs” when a lot of the causes are more nuanced than mainstream media lets on. It’s been a blame piling game thus far.

I mean, if you intend to kill people to keep them from breaking a few windows, then no, I don't think that's justified and I would say your values and priorities are pretty messed up.
But it doesn't even sound like he was protecting his business. Just some random white dude who showed up with a deadly weapon looking to "protect his neighborhood", super suspect. https://www.google.com/amp/s/dfw.cbslocal.com/2020/05/31/victim-assault-video-dallas-confronted-protesters-machete-protect-neighborhood-police-say/amp/
