Although you may be getting that bias from whatever you're reading, MOST mainstream liberals and progressives do NOT support the extremist left, including nihilits and anarchists, or condone violence by either extreme.

Back in the cold war days, the old Soviet Union was a big supporter and promoter of radical leftist groups. The leopard didn't change it's spots. Russia intelligence is currently supporting and manipulating the extreme right (easy to pick out with Russian based social media bot activity), and almost certainly the extreme left as well. Supporting the extreme left adds fuel to the fire - and actually strengthens the right extremists by making them seem like "victims."

Actually most liberals DO "support the extremest left"....
You see the mainstream media has a way of making an extreme left organization appear legitimate (fake news), when in fact it is violent....Antifa and BLM are examples.....BLM has caused many deaths and devastating destruction across the country and the mainstream media (and liberals) continue to give this group credibility.... The hypocrisy out of the left is really nauseating at times......

Man charged in two Kansas City killings, suspect in three more: ‘They didn’t see it coming’
http://www.kansascity.com/news/local/crime/article170048557.html

TL;DR;

African American man charged with two ambush murders, suspected in three more. All victims were white men between 50 and 61 years old. All shot in the back while walking.


"Nationally, men sharing the age range and race of the four victims along the trails represented about 4 percent of all single-victim homicides"

You don't seem to like "liberals" so I'm guessing you don't know many in real life that you talk to, socialize with, etc... Those are the ones I'm talking about. I personally don't know a single one who supports violence or property destruction as a means to conveying a message. The ones I know are good folks who care about their families and want the same basic things out of life that my right-leaning friends do.
Those folks - moderate right and left - are the majority on both "sides."
The "mainstream media" is being played like everyone else by the propaganda and social media.

I live in California.....so of course I "know" many and "socialize" with them..........If I didn't socialize with them I would be guilty of what the left does...

What does this have to do with anything we're talking about?

The media are the players. They happily wallow in shit for ratings.

Why? You don't think he was inspired by alt-left communist or stories portraying black people as victims of white violence do you?

That article said nothing of the sort. Seemed like a race bait post from you.

I hear more about Antifa from you, than the media. I'm not sure what part of I and others don't support property damage, violence etc. you struggle to understand. I would imagine most of the left get tired of them as well.

 

[mr-x]

Yeah, he just decided out of the blue to start shooting old white men walking down the street in the back. I wonder what would happen if the murder was white and the victims were black.

No connection to BLM or the media pushing identity politics.

In other unrelated news.. a university canceled a Greek sorority event because a member of BLM found a banana peel in a tree and got upset.

Yes, because no murders happened before the year 2013 when BLM started. Again, nothing in the article about that.

Old and busted

Antifa worse than KKK is just ignorant.

New hotness.

The murders took place this year.

 

[JB Lions]

Again, you haven't tied that to BLM, article makes no mention of it. You do agree murders have happened before 2013?

I don't know what article you're reading, the fifth and final killing came shortly after noon on Aug. 13. That would be a few weeks ago. The first was August of last year.

White men of that age account for 4% of all murder victims.. weird to have five shot in the back withing a few miles of each other.

Right, what does this have to do with BLM? And, did murders happen before 2013?

I've already explained it. Thanks for being consistently obtuse.

 

[JB Lions]

I've already explained it. Thanks for being concomitantly obtuse.

No, you haven't at all. You posted some article about people getting killed and tried to tie it to BLM, when the article made no mention of it. You act like this all started when BLM formed in 2013, as if murders didn't happen before that.
