I'm afraid it does delegitimize the movement. If someone commits crimes on behalf of BLM, it's BLM's job to publicly denounce those individuals and recite the main BLM values (what are they, btw?). Not doing that gives an impression that BLM is either a disorganized mob or, worse, that it quietly supports those criminals.

I think condoning or making excuses for lawlessness deligitimzes the speaker, and anyone who stands behind the statements. That said there are many within these movements that do not condone lawlessness
