1 dead after LMPD officers, National Guard shot at while attempting to disperse crowd

This stage is just the marxist revolutionary version of foreplay. The non-stop demonstrations are attempts to gain concessions that will demoralize the majority who opposes them. They are following the standard script customized for America's trigger events and polarizing issues, which right now is police use of force. If this were Latin America, they'd be talking about poverty and plutocracy more.

Their success to date has been because it's been unopposed by the urban Democrat mayors. That's because the Democrat party has tried to use it for their own purposes to win at the ballot box. They realized too late that it is bankrupting them and ruining their political futures.

All those talking about socialism are really talking about communism, which is a revolutionary ideology that has always rejected the existence of American-style democratic government. Their ideology is incompatible with being a loyal American. It's treasonous by its very nature. They have many dangerous people among them. If it's not put down, then it will grow into an armed terrorist movement and then America will have to send in the 1st string to deal with it here as they've had to do overseas on many occasions against violent jihadists and communists alike.

BLM's leaders are entirely unoriginal. They didn't even bother to come up with their own symbols. They must find it amusing to see white middle class useful idiots making the communist fist to appease them or make themselves feel like they're better people than they really are.

If you see a bear or even a wolf in the woods, take a knee, and bow your head, then they will eat you instantly because you define yourself as their prey. Communists are the same although it may take a few years before they get around to murdering you or your family. That comes after you give them power.
