- PontifexMinimus 6y agoYour statistic of: > 93% of Black Lives Matter protests have been peaceful Does not contradict jimbob45's point that "BLM [...] incited a great deal of violence this summer" Going by the numbers in your URL, 7750 demonstations of which 7% violent = 542 violent demonstrations.
- mrtesthah 6y agoHe said “they certainly incited a great deal of violence this summer.” I qualified that statement, which was worded to imply substantially more violence than what actually occurred. I thought HN discussions were based on facts rather than political biases.
- PontifexMinimus 6y ago> I thought HN discussions were based on facts rather than political biases. I very much hope they are.
- mrtesthah 6y agoDoesn’t look like it. Every time I present clear facts contrary to peoples’ political leanings and biases, they downvote.
- rvz 6y agoSo BLM also had violent demonstrations as well. Thanks for confirming this. Difference is, if doesn't fit their narrative it is not covered.
