- acdha 10y agoJails are full of people who swear they didn't do it, too. That doesn't mean that you should credulously believe them without doing your homework first.
- marknutter 10y agoOh, so Milo was given due process in a court of law? Why don't people mention that detail?
- acdha 10y agoMy point was simply that there is no shortage of people claiming that some rule was unfairly enforced because the alternative is to admit they did something wrong. I used the most common expression of that concept but if you must, feel free to substitute, say, a bunch of divorced people in a bar ranting about how their ex caused 100% of the problems but fooled the judge.
- s73ver 10y agoHe denies doing a lot of things that he has done. As for BLM, you're gonna have to show proof of that.
- lotso 10y agoBlack Lives Matter isn't a single person.
- danielpatrick 10y agoSource?
- joshuaheard 10y agoWell, I did some further research. It's best not to generalize, as I did, based on Google result headlines. What I found was that there were many examples of calls for violence on Twitter #blacklivesmatter. I also found several articles which laid out calls for violence on Twitter by Black Lives Matter "supporters". However, I did not find any calls for violence against police officers by the official Black Lives Matter Twitter account itself.
