Not sure why they think storming political candidates will make more folks side with them. What I've been told in the past was it is intended to 'raise awareness' and 'force people to leave their comfort zone and confront the reality of the problem.' I don't think it does a great job of either. Personally, I'd raise money and votes. Then go after strict and achievable goals. Such as removing qualified immunity from folks that commit felonies on the govt payroll, or asking for standardized rules of engagement, or more judgment shoot training for police, etc.

There were a lot of things that the BLM crowd could have focused on that would (or at least, may) have gotten bi-partisan support. (More accountability for police/prosecutors, civil asset forfeiture, etc...)

Ginning up racial animosity was a much high priority, as that gets votes for Democrats and doesn't require them to DO anything.

Broken clock is right two times a day.

Broken clock is right two times a day.

Unless it is a 24 hour clock.

Why do you hate America?

[KD5NRH]

Unless it is a 24 hour clock.

Or a 9 hour clock, which would only be right once every 6 days.

[Boomhauer]

Remember the "Black Lives Matter" movement is not about solving issues with the police, it is about gaining protection for the criminals so they can commit crimes in peace and/or get slaps on the wrist when they do get caught and prosecuted.

[BobR]

Well, that wasn't what I expected. I expected some coveralls wearing goober from GA talking to the Bureau of Land Management and threatening to take over a patch of dirt.

What in the hell is a 9 hour clock?

[BobR]

What in the hell is a 9 hour clock?

Half of an 18 hour clock.

So the clock the guys who fell of the turnip truck use?

He's trying to get Hillary some of that "honesty" appeal that Bernie and Trump have going for them.

[BlueStarLizzard]

Except he screwed up big time and was actually honest.

I didn't know he could do that.

Should make folks rethink their support of gun control.

BLM may be many things, but that's a stretch.  That sort of attitude towards black politics tends to reinforce their views rather than undermine them.

Honesty would be telling the crowd that Clinton presided over the largest increases in prison sentences, and the largest cuts to welfare, of any president in the 20th century.  Wonder how the Bernie crowd would react.

Bullshit. I'm calling it like it is. I live over here, you don't.

I suspect Boomhauer was being sarcastic.......

[MechAg94]

No, that is how it looks to me.  Their hero was a guy who robbed a store then tried to beat up and kill a police officer.  Sounds bluntly accurate.

You should quit saying things like that.  I might make me like Bill Clinton.   

[De Selby]

If you like the current crop of republicans other than trump you should.  Bill Clinton was far more effective at implementing their policies than any of them could hope to be.

[De Selby]

You know learning and reflection are virtues in some parts of the world.  Calling it does not equal "how it is".

More like it shows what can be done when Republicans have effective leadership in Congress.
