What does violent rioting have to do with who it's aimed at? It's illegal, period.
What does it have to do with mosques being burned down?

Re: targets
I can't make out the picture.
All I meant about "what I saw" is what I found out from researching it all AT THE TIME. Things have apparently happened since that I didn't hear about, but it certainly surprises me that what sounded at the time like an accidental overuse of force by the police has become a homicide. And I have NO desire to "exonerate the police" and you really need to curb your accusations.

I'm just taking note of the things that don't disgust you enough to start a thread about.

Yes you do. The entire point of your posts was to show that BLM really did not have any incidents to protest. In making that point you attempted to claim that the killing of Eric Garner was mere accidents.

Re: targets
The same situation applies. If instead of an accident what we have is a PROSECUTED HOMICIDE, for crying out loud, then BLM has no case there either.

Yeah, look at us all scurrilously knowing what threads you've started. Well, not all of us, but at least me.

I never even heard of the topics you've brought up, clearly just anything you can find to smear me with, a version of today's leftist tactic against Trump. Plots within plots.
The Berkeley Riots are a huge destructive illegal deal, a violation of the right to protest, this is NEW, it's NEWS, it's a product of a new insane leftist mentality, probably engineered by Soros or others behind the scenes; it's important, it's something definitely to be addressed.
On the other hand, burning mosques, burning churches, burning synagogues, all normal criminal stuff. I guess you'd only start a thread on the mosques, right? Not the churches or the synagogues. Anyway, you should start a thread if you want to.

Re: targets
Would it have been prosecuted without BLM drawing attention to it ?
With people like you writing it off as "an accident" and calling the verdict a "miscarriage of justice" without taking the facts into consideration I think we have good cause to suspect otherwise - and even so BLM obviously serves as a needed corrective.

So, we get to learn not only what you consider disgusting, but also what you consider to be no biggie.

The same is true for you. You don't consider rioting a biggie, you don't consider burning down churches a biggie, or burning down synagogues.

And there was no prosecution despite the fact that the death was reported as a homicide. As I stated, Eric Garner's family won a multi-million dollar civil suit. Your reading comprehension stinks.
And of course, you did indeed have reason to "mis-remember" the details because you were making a specific argument that required that Eric Garner's death was an accident resulting from a medical condition rather than a homicide resulting from a choke-hold and chest compression.
Eric Garner is dead, and he should not be. That is reason enough to complain. Walter Scott is dead, and despite the evidence, the jury could not convict his murderer. That's reason to complain. There is no justice at all for Tamir Rice, and your defense is that despite the fact that the police were trigger happy, accidents happen.
Yet all it takes for you to complain is being quoted properly while pointing out the BS in your arguments.

Re: targets
You obviously don't recall the original discussion, where I got into all the issues quite deeply and all you care about is finding something to accuse me of. Typical, of course, and typically underhanded. I considered all the issues as presented in the news at the time, that were discussed here too. Apparently I got all the other examples right, but the Garner case changed after our discussion from accidental death to homicide. It doesn't matter whether it was an accident or a homicide as far as not providing an excuse for BLM, just as none of the other cases did. Besides, doesn't homicide imply intention? Where was the intention to kill the man? They just overdid restraining him. If culpability is involved, homicide is beyond the actual level of it.
