That is what it looks like:
A Black Lives Matter leader in New York revealed in an interview with the Daily Mail that the activist group is developing a highly trained “military” arm to lead the “war on police.”
Hawk Newsome, chairman of BLM’s Greater New York chapter, said the organization has military Special Forces officers training and advising members who will “patrol” black communities and challenge law enforcement.
Newsome said:
“We are preparing and training our people to defend our communities … We are prepared to stop these government sanctioned murders by any means necessary.
We pattern ourselves after the Black Panthers, after the Nation of Islam, we believe that we need an arm to defend ourselves.
We will build and train peace officers to keep the peace in our communities, to defend our communities, to keep our communities safe.”
The activist said money has been flooding into the organization from wealthy people and celebrities, specifically naming Rihanna and Nick Cannon as large contributors.
Go here to read the rest. Allow groups to get away with rioting and they will always up the ante to outright violence against people.
Rico suits need to be started against Black Lives Matters, and their large corporate contributors should be listed as co-Defendants. Civil suits should also be brought, as this violent organization now has deep pockets thanks to corporate sponsors.
I trust this can be done without more bloodshed, but I doubt it. If they choose the remedy of war, Black Lives Matter should feel what real war is like, not this kabuki theater with allied Mayors and Governors of blue states.
Standard thug who wants to be the one enforcing what is allowed.
Contrast with some eeeeeevil folks, like the NRA, who try to help folks protect themselves.
That, of course, is dangerous– they might shoot the “wrong” people, that is, someone whose unjust violence against innocents is USEFUL to the “organizers.”
Right! Sounds like BLM is fixin’ to be classified as a new terrorist organization. This will not end well for them.
Michael:
I remember the days of the Weather Underground and the SLA, the last of which literally perished in its own flames (and my high school teacher was upset that I clapped at the news).
No: this will not end well for them, nor for the myriad politicians and celebrities who support them. No one took a knee for the Weathermen, and the SLA was detested for its murder of a popular black school superintendent.
Here is where Trump needs to put his moxie where his mouth is. Talk law and order you better walk law and order…or shut the hell up!
The Monday morning news reports of the casualty count over the weekend in the major BLM cities would give rise to the question of whether any are worth saving. But then one thinks of the truly innocent people who live in these cities and remembering Abraham’s question to the Almighty “will you spare the city for the sake of the ten?”. Bring in the National Guard and ready the jails.
