flash banged?

We're not talking about the late 60s Black Panthers here that were literally militarist protestors against the way blacks were getting treated by the cops and everyone else. (Not saying there aren't groups out there like this, but that isn't the BLM so far.) At any public gathering, there's always going to be an asshole or two looking for cover to do something stupid that will start a riot. (And to note: I'm simplifying the Black Panther movement. Read stuff elsewhere for real information.)

Just remember that evil comes to power when good people stand and turn a blind eye to what is going on. The question is... who's the bigger evil?

Oh, and never been flash banged before (unless some of the light shows at concerts I've been to count; flashpots a meter in front of your face are loud, bright, and you can feel the concussion rattle your bones... and you might get a few singed eyebrow hairs), but have been pepper sprayed. All that did was take a loud situation to a violent situation. if the guy that pepper sprayed me didn't shit his pants and run like cockroaches when you turn the light on, I'd have gone to jail from the beatdown that was coming.

You're right but the possibility of the movement escalating to that point isn't unfeasible, the Black Panther Party didn't just start out shooting people at its inception. I do find their ideologies to be similar though and what makes it worse is that none of their concerns in this day and age have any factual basis. Black people are predominately killing each other within their own communities while a smaller margin, smaller than that of white people are killed by police officers and a majority of the time those killings are deemed lawful. You'll never see a BLM protest going on in the Harlem neighbourhood when a black citizen kills another black citizen but you do when it's a cop killing a citizen.

And literal neonazis are not a cause for concern? It's not like nazis have ever hurt anyone.

I assume parents don't teach children these days that they shouldn't play on highways or roads.

Pretty much every protest ever has disrupted normal functioning of the cities they were held at. Should protesting be banned?

Sure they are but how many neo-nazis do you see protesting in the street right now? And I don't mean the patriotic citizens going to a right rally that are accused of nazism by sensitive liberals. As Ben Shapiro would say, point out the specific instances of racism and we can fight them together but just shouting out nazi, fascist, racist at every single person that disagrees with an opinion or point of view isn't the way that gets done.

I am more worried about people with che guevara T's and hammer and sickle flags. America has already built up moral disgust against nazis, but communism is still praised and openly defended by rioters and students who should really know their history better.

They're probably just expressing their enthusiasm for some new death metal album. It must be good because just look at the size of that queue.

You should move to Finland.
But only if you are highly educated invidual with will to do lots of work!

In Finland the most major protest we have had recently was in 2015 when some guys broke a window. They were dumb and didnt cover their faces so they were caught pretty quickly.
We like to do elections and stuff instead of violent protests.
