Black Lives Matter Protest outside of Parkland HS. - Assholes hold Blue lives matter counter protest

Just saw that on my local news. Looked like mostly HS kids, teenagers, there were some older adults as well. But it looked like a crowd of mostly teens. They only interviewed the teens that talked about the shooting at Parkland and how they thought that it was important that both movements intersect since Parkland had been met with such violence. Across the street the Blue Lives Matter protesters were mostly a bunch of grown ass men trolling teenagers. Some carrying Trump signs. A bunch of grown ass pot bellied men have nothing to do than troll teen agers.

Ironically it was the cowardly police who delayed engaging at Parkland. Throck Jul 2020 #5

By far, black people are not intentionally stalking and killing police, so even tho 42bambi Jul 2020 #6

I don’t know. I have hoped for a long time that young people would roll over the old white racist people. I just don’t know when the dam breaks.

"A bunch of grown ass pot bellied men have nothing to do than troll teenagers."
And not just teenagers, Parkland teenagers who survived the most traumatic event of their young lives.

and red lives and white lives and purple lives. The assholes protesting that blue lives matter seem to believe that by saying black lives matter we don't think any other lives matter. A true protest against BLM would be black lives *don't* matter, which is what they are assuming we are saying about blue lives.

How in the hell can we make them understand that by saying black lives matter, we are not saying that other lives don't matter?

Are they saying that black lives *don't* matter? Sometimes I think that's exactly what they are saying.

Stupid assholes.
