Domestic Terrorism – Black Lives Matter "Protestors" Murder 8-Year-Old Black Child
2020-07-06
The Last Refuge via Instapundit
Atlanta Georgia has erupted into a lawless society as a willfully complicit Atlanta Mayor, Keisha Lance Bottoms, attempts to avoid her role in the murder of an 8-year-old child as violent Black Lives Matter protestors run amok in the city.

On Saturday night about 9:30, Charmaine Turner and her daughter were driving with a friend when they attempted to turn into a store near a group of armed Black Lives Matter protestors. Two of the BLM activists opened fire on their vehicle for not complying with their unlawful roadblock, and 8-year-old Secoriea Turner was shot. She died in her mothers arms as they attempted to escape the area and get to a hospital.

#21  Good piece over at TTAG about how there aren't going to be any demonstrations or riots over the child's death. It just doesn't fit the narrative.

#20  ^ Yep, that was my thought about Minneapolis and places in CA and NYC and pretty much all Dem controlled sludge pits.

#18  I think the majority of blacks care about life as much as any other human regardless of race. But to the "movement," it's eggs / omelets as always.

#17  The mayor failed in her duty to protect lives and property. She needs to resign.

#16  Atlanta Mayor Bottoms says she is sorry for their loss as she continues negotiations with the domestic terrorist group.

You do NOT negotiate with terrorists.

#15  Time to start treating these people like the violent, terrorist, communist revolutionaries that they are.

#14  It doesn't seem like black lives matter much to many blacks.

#13  That's the problem with a thug and/or mob mentality; people get hurt in the drive-bys or crossfire. Also the problem of the "means justifies the ends" of the Marxist crowd.

I'd like to say, "that is a problem with a bunch of stupid fuckers turned loose by the puppeteers pulling the strings" but I'll hold off (cynicism).

#10  >Swapping out armed BLM supporters for white hooded KKK men

With the TaliBLM being a brand of Antifa, the hooded KKK are only separated by a few years, both being the armed wing of the Dems.

M. Murcek, what URL did you intend to attach to that bit of text?

#6  Swapping out armed BLM supporters for white hooded KKK men and the world would be aflame if this happened. It's all about power, there is no principle.

#5  I wish that some of the normal black adults could be asked "What do you think should be done about this?"

Let's have a conversation. /sarc

#3  53 year old guy killed nearby just 24 hours later. Busy little worker bees, eh?

#2  Police are sort of like that flea bitten mangy guard dog that s**ts in the yard and barks too much at night. When you get rid of them, you suddenly get visited by why you had them. You are more concerned by the effect rather than the cause.

Remember if we behaved civilized, then Sheriff Andy and Barney Fife could be our constables.

#1  Quickly forgotten and erased from the revolutionary narrative as 'acceptable losses.' The enforcement of BLM law and order must not be challenged. The message is not to people of color, they aleady know. The message is to the media.
