BLM: Hands up, ... gimme yo money.

Drug addicts become victims of their drug use, that true.

But drug criminalization makes victims of drug users, possessors, (and addicts as well), at the hands of the criminal justice system.

Big difference.

Drug dealers kill people either directly or indirectly.

There aren't many users in prison for long periods of time.
 
"To address criminal justice reform, for example, movement organizers are calling for an end to the type of militarized police presence seen at protests in cities like Ferguson, and the retroactive decriminalization and immediate release of all people convicted of drug offenses, sex work related offense and youth offenses."

Reasonable, other than the bit about "youth offenses"....what if it was armed assault to murder?




"The group also is calling for the passage of a bill that would create a commission to study reparations for descendants of slaves.

Eat a bag of ****s.

What do you think these criminals will do once they are let out?
 
Terrorists DO have a sense of humor!!

Who woulda thunk it?

The vast majority of people in prison for extended periods of time are there for dealing, not using

That is not a victim less crime.

Not true most dealers simply provide goods to people that want them.

In fact prescription drugs kill more people than all the illegal drugs combined.

Dealers simply supply goods to who wants them.

If somebody tries to steal their stash, what do they do?

All the murders along the way land right upon their heads.

Drug dealing is not any where near a victim less crime.
 
The agenda, titled "A Vision for Black Lives: Policy Demands for Black Power, Freedom and Justice" was released Monday by the Movement for Black Lives. The platform also comes after both the Republican and Democratic conventions, during which Black Lives Matter activists were noticeably absent from protest lines.

"We seek radical transformation, not reactionary reform," Michaela Brown, a spokeswoman for Baltimore Bloc, one of the group's partner organizations, said in a statement. "As the 2016 election continues, this platform provides us with a way to intervene with an agenda that resists state and corporate power, an opportunity to implement policies that truly value the safety and humanity of Black lives, and an overall means to hold elected leaders accountable."

The agenda outlines six demands and offers 40 recommendations on how to address them. To address criminal justice reform, for example, movement organizers are calling for an end to the type of militarized police presence seen at protests in cities like Ferguson, and the retroactive decriminalization and immediate release of all people convicted of drug offenses, sex work related offense and youth offenses.

The group also is calling for the passage of a bill that would create a commission to study reparations for descendants of slaves.

Who gives a flying cow flop what this Domestic Terrorist organization wants.
 
Why don't we give the inmates a house each in the Hamptons and $100,000 in their bank accounts too while were at it? Whats bad is they would probably burn the house to the ground with no fire insurance and blow the $100K on crack ........ and then protest for black lives matter ........again! I,m sorry but this is not even believable.......... I,m not a racist by saying this... but simply am pointing out something I have observed throughout the years that millions would agree with.... If this sort of junk does not stop and soon, we are heading for a racial war and that my friends is something I would hate to see...... I have a number of brothers in arms and friends of color and cannot fathom how this would all go down.....

ALL LIVES MATTER!!!!............ Its time for everyone to pick themselves up, join together and fight terrorists rather than fellow Americans simply because they are different in some way.... Whenever anyone condemns someone else for their color, religion, sexual preference, gender, hair style, clothing they wear or the way they walk....they are voicing a form of prejudice....... BLM needs to figure out what they are doing is not helping their cause at all but instead is aggravating and putting the police as well as other citizens on edge needlessly. Their agenda will not work out if they continue this way.

Change needs to start in the home from day 1 teaching all children to respect the law and use common sense throughout life. The police need to keep tabs on their officers as well because some do tend to act above the law sometimes. The issue is fueled by both sides and neither side can fix the problem alone.....
In time perhaps, ALL LIVES WILL MATTER!
 
The problem with "Black Lives Matter" is that it seems their message is that black lives matter....more than others.
