Fuzzy, 93% of BLM protests were peaceful, and the violent ones were not as big as you seem to think.

The vast majority of demonstration events associated with the BLM movement are non-violent (see map below). In more than 93% of all demonstrations connected to the movement, demonstrators have not engaged in violence or destructive activity. Peaceful protests are reported in over 2,400 distinct locations around the country. Violent demonstrations,5 meanwhile, have been limited to fewer than 220 locations — under 10% of the areas that experienced peaceful protests. In many urban areas like Portland, Oregon, for example, which has seen sustained unrest since Floyd’s killing, violent demonstrations are largely confined to specific blocks, rather than dispersed throughout the city (CNN, 1 September 2020).

This is like the dumbest argument comparing violent riots and the efforts to lionize them to sign wavers. Your own numbers say 220 locations had riots over a 3 month period. Thats like 3 riots a day, every day, for 3 consecutive months. Are you seriously pretending thats not a big deal? I dont give a damn that there were 2,400 sign waving events. I care that mobs of criminals on 220 separate occassions over a 3 month period caused $1 billion in damage, injured thousands of cops, and murdered dozens of people while the media lied, the Dems bailed out the rioters as they claimed they didnt even exist, and the Soros prosecutors dismissed the charges.

But omg its the horn honking in canada and rubbing poop on the capitol walls thats the terrizms.

Most of this is lies.

Even if Mr. Reactionary was right about half of anything he said, it doesn't matter.

WTF am i wrong about? Did you sleep through 2020 or did you just only watch CNN? Heres a goddamn citation for every damn claim. After 2020 Im not taking any lectures from Dems on riots.

Its like the red avs "forgot" that there also were multiple instances of BLM/Antifa rioters barracading the doors of police stations while attempting to burn down the building killing all inside. At least now maybe this "diversity of tactics" can finally be condemned.

Being patriotic is not allowed anymore. If they shut down the fundraiser, they should be returning every cent back to the donors, not funneling it into left-wing charities.

We need to show the truckers even more support now.

Donors will get a refund if they request it; if they don't, the money will go to charities.  (I do agree that the latter should be an opt-in rather than opt-out.)

The truckers should get the money that the donors intended to.  Period.

Not a dime was prevented from going to BLM during that months that they criminally rioted.  The money should go where it was intended to go.  Period. 

That the money won't is disgusting, but it's one more event that should put to rest the idea that the explosion of the internet "empowers" ordinary citizens.  The internet, like everything else, empowers the elites of our society.  The privileges and special treatment that our Congress have bestowed on "Big Tech' companies ought to be reevaluated in the face of the internet being oppressive, as opposed to liberating and empowering, as was once the promise not that long ago. 

Notice unlike with BLM this money isnt really being used to bail out persons arrested for criminal conduct.
