edited July 2016 in A Moving Train
There is a petition to classify BLM as a terrorist organization. Does their actions, messages, and behavior warrant this classification or are recent injustices cause and justifications for their actions, messages, and behaviors.
(Petition below is for reference only)

    Just trying to understand people's perspective. I will admit I am not educated on this but in the past couple days this narrative had exploded

    Never going to happen. They are one of Barry's and the Hildabeasts favorite photo opps. Gives the libbies that sweet little warm feeling in their hearts and the media loves and needs them.

    You got to love Free Speech when they chant " What do we want, DEAD COPS, when do we want it....NOW!!!! Or "PIG's in Blanket". And here is a little doo-see these "Peaceful" protesters were chanting yesterday in Chicago ...."Dallas, meet the Revolution...Dallas meet the Revolution". I really encourage anyone who is on the fence with these oxygen thieves and attend one of these Peaceful BLM protests, then form your opinion.

    I'm not at all a fan of some of BLM's methods but unless I'm mistaken, BLM has not been convicted of any killings. If that's true, I don't see how they can be labeled "terrorist". That word is often misunderstood and thrown around inaccurately a lot already. The average person, for example, does not even know the difference between the words "terrorism" and "sabotage".

    This idea that black lives matter is a terrorist organization came from Rush Limbaugh. That says everything.

    There you go. Like I said, some may not like their tactics (I'm not a fan of all they do but I get the gist of why they are angry) but to call them "terrorist" is just lame and fanning the flames (which, no doubt, is the point).

    It's worth considering why BLM became as extreme as they are. Why do you suppose that is? (Easy answer.)

    Painting that organization (if that's what it is - honestly not sure of the proper terminology) with one huge brush is as off-course as slapping the colored bristles on any other group coming together to enact genuine good.

    Don't let those who've veered beyond compassion and rationale speak for the ones who just want to live, and let live, in peace.

    Somewhat off topic, but if this group can mobilize soooooo many people, with so much passion, why don't they organize in Chicago to help eradicate the 1000 or more deaths caused by black-on-black crime each year? And that's just one city. Do black lives only matter if they die at the hands of cops?

    There's a certain amount of logic to what you're proposing but maybe putting the cart before the horse? Might not eradicating poverty and racial profiling which leads to poverty in the first place do the same thing only better and more broadly?

    I'm not sure how racial profiling leads directly to poverty to begin with...please explain. And is that the only means?

    Let's get one thing straight...no one in Chicago is gunning down another human being in order to put food on the table. This isn't the 1920's, and very few people alive in the US even have the slightest inkling of what true poverty is. They may think they do, but they don't.

    Even the most minimal of assistance that is given in modern times is light years ahead of what our grand parents and great grand parents received. Not to mention the true modern day poverty that exists in other parts of this world (which interestingly enough...most of those regions do not have violent crime at our levels). I realize that we are a nation that will find any reason to shift blame, but it's not a valid argument.

    This is a community issue. It's broken families. It's poor examples of humanity that are created at home and exacerbated on the streets.

    If this group truly cared about the lives of black people, they would patrol their neighborhoods, reach out to those in need, and create a community thats sole purpose is to protect the very lives they are marching for.

    Maybe some of you should head over to their web page to figure out who they are and what they are about before commenting.

    Art Acevedo hit the nail on the head. Don't judge an entire group based on one cop killer. Love how he stuck it to Lt Gov Patrick.

    Stalling for time? You bet.

    OK. it's late. In a small jar it's like this:

    Racial profiling does not lead directly to poverty and no, it's not the only means.

    I know, I know. I really was going somewhere with that but I've lost the trail and the hounds have all gone to bed. Me too before I fall on my face. I'll try to find it again later.

    First of all, congratulations for parroting another pile of Limbaugh feces! Did you think about this before you posted it? I sure hope not.

    Second of all, it makes little sense.
    Do you really think the organization required to end gang related violence is as easy as the organization required in telling people, "meet here for a protest"?? Surely you don't, you're not a moron.
    Who would they be seeking redress from with their organizational efforts? The gangs? The thousands of different individuals, operating under no real connection, that are responsible for perpetrating the crimes?

    just popped onto the site with the link you provided... below is the first line of their statement, and frankly its pure sensationalized bullshit... I didn't feel a need to read further

    "Black Lives Matter is an ideological and political intervention in a world where Black lives are systematically and intentionally targeted for demise."
