KOMO news attempted to interview some of the BLM people and got flipped off!

Watch the video in this link. Near the end the announcer says that the protesters were asked to say something, but would only produce obscene gestures.

It also looks like the Black Lives Seattle FB site has a mirror site, which was started just yesterday and is fake:

This BLM Seattle group has hijacked the genuine group. Go to the authentic BLM Seattle page. They issued an apology for what happened. There is nothing more idiotic than going against one's own best interests.

Something fishy is going on here!

On edit, this is what is being shown on what was until recently, claimed as the real Black Lives Matter fb page:

To everyone who visits this page, it will be deleted affective immediately. I am 16 and I started this page to raise awareness about this cause. I am not officially associated with BLM. I recant the apology I made that was not at all associated with what happened. I am sorry for the confusion. But please, please don't stop supporting Black Lives Matter!! I will still believe in them and I hope that you will too!! ‪#?StayWoke‬ everyone.

It's been a strange day out here in the Great NorthWest. And it's not over!

Interesting. Yes. Read later the twitter page was deleted. Triana Aug 2015 #17

Just checked the twitter account and the apology has been "recanted" Hydra Aug 2015 #6

Why wouldn't they talk to a reporter? Why turn down a chance to talk? n/t winter is coming Aug 2015 #10

Exactly. icymist Aug 2015 #11

Because they have nothing to say. romanic Aug 2015 #13

You'd think they would use the camera time to discuss their agenda. Ken Burch Aug 2015 #12

They certainly have had opportunities to speak despite what some claim on DU davidpdx Aug 2015 #14

Kick for visibility, and to ask again: why turn down a press opportunity? winter is coming Aug 2015 #15

they only want the mics they can take by bullying restorefreedom Aug 2015 #18

By your "logic", that makes what I say carry more weight than anything you post. Logic. I don't think you have even a passing acquaintance with it.

This page will be deleted affective immediately. I also recant the apology for BLM Seattle. I am in no way affiliated with the chapter

Or the national network. I'm just a teenager who wanted to be involved and spoke for people I had no business speaking for.
