So I would argue the spirit of the 1st amendment has been infringed upon. As the purpose of it is to protect dissenting opinion from extreme tyrannical consequences. This was mob tyranny.

Oh yes, violence is the response to everything... and somehow this is acceptable?? That behavior has NO place in a normal civilized society.

Is because BLM is simply responding to savagery with savagery. People have an instinctive distaste for that, it scares them.
Is why MLK used peace to such a strong effect. By being peaceful while the other side falls to savagery you garner sympathy and anger rather than simply adding more fear and disgust.
Violence scares people away. It's that simple. Is once again why you need another movement that doesn't scare the # out of people and cause instinctive revulsion.

I'm actually trying to be helpful. I'm the wrong skin color so anything I attempt to start will be immediately reframed as attempting to derail BLM as well as labelled all sorts of things.
Besides I'd be about ending corruption in our legal system. Which the issues BLM has are a symptom of. I don't believe in treating symptoms. I believe in cures.

Dude deserved it to be honest..
If you go to an event where they are protesting systemic racism and injustice and the proliferation of peace by equality... and you wearing clothes representing a hateful agressive and racist movement countering that of the event... you bring it on yourself.
Dont give me the 1st ammendment BS..
Weari g a Trump hat to a BLM rally is akin to going to said rally and punching someone in the face.
Now I don't know about you's, but America is not ever going to be great again when you can't even wear a darn hat to a rally, expressing and exercising your 1st Amendment right. He had every right to be wearing that hat.

This is definitely where we went wrong; contractual negotiations that prevent competing soft drink companies from being dispensed in the same building.
