    The only, only reason that the civil rights movement worked was because they had black panthers backing them up. Without threat of violence peaceful protests dont work.

      This is bullshit. The Civil Rights Movement worked because people couldn’t argue in favor of the relentless violence inflicted on non-violent protesters.

      This entirely modern bullshit is propaganda designed to incite violence today.

        For the past two hours, you’ve been arguing against gun rights. Which is okay - you do you. Not everyone should own a gun. We all see the stats.

        But you do realize the white woman who got executed didn’t incite violence?

        And you do realize that at the height of police brutality during BLM violence - armed BLM protesters stood peacefully to protect the disenfranchised, protesters like yourself - the normally aggressive police behaved?

        We get it. YOU don’t like guns. But when they’re shooting unarmed white women who don’t incite violence, a lot of people would prefer to keep their guns with them right now.
