there are but it's being used by police departments, mayors, and governors all over the country to justify force because "it's not black people, it's white agitators". just saying be careful not to buy into that.

we're acknowledging them as an inevitability, recognizing that they represent only a portion of the property destruction, and not fueling a narrative being used by police to justify violence 6/4/2020 12:31:43 PM |

i've seen one in denver who was immediately called out by one of our local leaders. i've heard of a "proud boy" type presence as well but they've been quiet so far.
i've also seen three black men set a dumpster on fire 6/4/2020 12:44:15 PM |

my favorite thing about the pledge of allegiance is the guy who wrote it
Quote : | "Bellamy was a Christian socialist who "championed 'the rights of working people and the equal distribution of economic resources, which he believed was inherent in the teachings of Jesus.'"In 1891, Bellamy was "forced from his Boston pulpit for preaching against the evils of capitalism"" |
