Which cities did BLM protestors burn down? What crime did George Floyd commit that merited his public execution? Or Breonna Taylor, who was shot by police while sleeping? What was she guilty of?


BLM protestors looted and rioted many cities. It was all over the news. They even took control of a police station and part of a town. It’s concerning you’ve forgotten this portion of our history.

George Floyd’s killer was found guilty and sentenced. Does that mean nothing?

Breonna Taylor was with someone that shot at police. It’s unfortunate what happened but perhaps one shouldn’t associate with people doing such things if they want to avoid these situations.


>>BLM protestors looted and rioted many cities. It was all over the news.

Sure, which cities did they burn down? The person I replied to made a specific claim I was asking about. You don't seem to be able to list them, either, despite them being all over the news.

>George Floyd’s killer was found guilty and sentenced... Breonna Taylor was with someone that shot at police.

And? The comment I was replying to said that the people BLM claimed to be fighting hadn't killed any innocent people. What was George Floyd's killer convicted for then? What did Breonna Taylor do that left her guilty?

I understand that situations are more complicated than what they end up reduced down to. But op made specific, false claims.


> which cities did they burn down?

Is it conceivable that perhaps the statement employed hyperbole to make a point and was not literal?

Your hairsplitting between "burning cities down" and arson misses the point completely.
