Turns out BLM rejected Micah Johnson and he was blacklisted! http://www.thedailybeast.com/articl...listed-by-black-power-groups-as-unstable.html And Seems that he was part of a hate group called the Black Riders. It's sad that people try to blame BLM and Obama for this guy when it now surfaces that groups like BLM rejected him and ostracized him - but our right wing friends here don't care, they want to create a narrative that helps attacks BLM and that fact makes you wonder if they are indeed harboring unsurfaced hatred for blacks.
They "rejected" him due to sexual harassment, not his radical beliefs....so I'm not sure what you think you are proving here. The founders of the BLM movement still consider an exiled terrorist leader their personal role model so those people are still extremists even if they won't tolerate sexual harassment.
BLM has repeatedly condemn all violence. They continue to be an easy target for blame. Happen in the Houston/Cypress killing and again here before facts are established.
Just wanted to share this here because of homeboy's ROCKETS hat. :grin: http://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2016/07/11/one-dallas-protesters-come-together-nccorig.cnn <iframe width="416" height="234" src="http://www.cnn.com/video/api/embed.html#/video/us/2016/07/11/one-dallas-protesters-come-together-nccorig.cnn" frameborder="0"></iframe>
Calling BLM a terrorist organization has to be the dumbest **** I've ever heard. And I've been on this board for more than fifteen years.
The fact that they do background checks on people shows they screen for people. They don't want cop-killers as part of their organization. And it's questionable that the person was a terrorist leader as she didn't commit any acts of terrorism - we already showed that she did not shoot that cop. You are just hellbent on attacking BLM and any black movement because you just can't stand blacks. Just be honest. Why don't you come out and face it - you have to twist and spin everything to make sure you stand above blacks.
See, BLM shows no tolerance for others. Had they accepted they him, they could have taught him their peaceful ways and he could have felt helpful and part of the group. Instead, the Army casts him out, BLM rejects him and he's a loner with no guidance. BLM is to blame for rejecting the kid.
Open carry created headaches for both lawful carriers and law enforcement. https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...1c0d96-46a9-11e6-bdb9-701687974517_story.html
They do background checks to make sure no one sexually harasses people and no it's not questionable at all that she was a terrorist leader. By your logic it's questionable that OBL was a terrorist leader because he didn't personally commit any acts of terrorism On top of that you didn't show that she didn't shoot the cop that she was convicted of killing. You just suggested that she was framed but even then it wouldn't matter, as a leader of a terrorist organization she's still guilty for the actions of others.....and she's the personal hero of those who founded BLM. Sorry kiddo, you'll lose this every time you bring it up.
There's literally always been open carry of rifles in Texas, this is nothing new even if some don't realize that.
You and others accuse/strongly suggest black lives matter of being involved in the Dallas shootings - this shows they were not. Yet you still try to weasel out by saying it's only because of his sexual harassment. Then you say Black lives matter who respects an icon from the civil rights movement whom many believe to have been wrongly framed due to police officers lying then admitting they lied and that in fact the person didn't have a gun - can be written off as racist. And you call the organization of this person to be a terrorist organization - why? Because they said so! You my friend have an issue because even when you get new information, instead of taking it in, you just spin and find ways to explain it away. This is called something in psychology - it's called denial. Bro - wake up!
No, I say that the founders of the BLM movement would approve of it based on who their role models are. Their role models would absolutely approve of killing cops, it's what they were all about. That "icon" was the leader of a terrorist organization known as the Black Liberation Army, saying that she was "framed" by suggesting her involvement in the shooting of a cop either involving her personally or simply done by one of her soldiers in her presence is irrelevant. She was the leader of a terrorist organization responsible for numerous bombings, murders, police assassinations, and robberies. I know you aren't really a big fan of facts, but sorry kiddo, the facts are b**** slapping you on this one.
No my friend I think you have no respect for facts. Where was it she was the leader of BLA? She was just a member. And the only crime she has been convicted of was the turnpike shootout. She didn't order those killings. Those weren't her men, quite the opposite. You are just making things up.
LOL wow, you're hopeless. Anyway, instead of accusing people of "making things up", try looking something up for a change. I know that it's detrimental to the narrative you are trying to push, but it'll prevent you from looking like a moron. Good luck.
I thought "It's on in 2016!" was a pretty innocuous statement to derive this accusation that it was some kind of violent hate group.

We DO need to perhaps modify the standard. Simply saying you fear for your life isn't enough. Even in civilian cases. It should be 'would a reasonable person fear for their life.' Or, in the case of police, would a reasonable policeman fear for their life in those circumstances?
Well sure it can cause confusion if people are openly carrying during a terrorist attack like the one in Dallas, but it didn't cause all that many problems. The guy with the rifle turned his rifle over to police without an incident and they interviewed and released him. More than anything, it just led to an inconvenience on the part of the man openly carrying which IMO is sort of the cost of doing business.
