Maybe BLM is doing this on purpose. Maybe this is their message.
"Stop enforcing the law against violent criminals, or we swear to the High Heavens that we will kill every single black child in America!"
Seriously, think about it. It's the natural evolution of their stances. "You didn't sentence the cops who beat Rodney King harshly enough, so we will damage stores," to "You didn't convict George Zimmerman (who we have officially declared white, don't believe his DNA!) so we will damage and steal from stores," to "Mike Brown should have been able to beat and steal a gun from and possibly kill that officers, so we will burn stores," to "George Floyd should be allowed to run amuck full of drugs with his history of violent crime, or we will burn and steal!" to "Rayshard Brooks should be allowed to drive home drunk to beat his wife and children before he leaves them again to bang his arsonist girlfriend, or we will murder children!" and now, we've reached the point where when someone who was ACTIVELY SHOOTING AT POLICE OFFICERS is shot in return, they skip the rioting and looting and just shoot kids. Hell, if this goes on much longer, they'll just build fucking concentration camps and gas their own people.
Oh, I haven't. I'm trying to say something here without really saying it. Same vein as making martyrs out of the people who deserve it the least - ya know maybe if that's how it is, civil society just isn't in your card deck.

That'll show Whitey.
While the history is all known, stringing it together like that really paints a bleak picture...
It's almost like civilization just wasn't meant to be.
