I'm not dodging anything. Freddie Gray?! Are you kidding me??? The guy had a felony rap sheet as thick as a Sears catalog. That guy lived the thug life through and through, and yes he did indeed have his fate coming to him.

So, he deserved to have his neck broken while being driven to the police station, shackled, cuffed, and presenting no danger to anyone?
Petty crimes deserve death?

 
Wait, I thought you were going to let due process play out until you assigned blame? No? ;)

Let's say he did have his neck broken, and he wasn't at fault. No, he didn't deserve that, but yes, his thug lifestyle (proven, convicted thug lifestyle) led to it. I'm sorry, I just don't have sympathy for that. We just disagree on this, and that's fine.

I just explained to you that due process has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with me formulating an opinion of what happened.

Guten Abend.

My final thought on this: Black lives do matter, but the people who the BLM movement highlight as the reason and motivation for their cause are all thugs, and thug lives do not matter, we're much better off without them, that is why the BLM movement is a complete joke.

Explain for me why Trayvon Martin's life doesn't matter.
Or why, it's no big deal if a petty criminal like Freddie gray dies in custody.

And BLM is not a joke. As long as there are people who think that some lives don't matter, we need them to say otherwise.

Well, he was a thug who brought upon his own fate. I suppose his life mattered only for media and conversation fodder.

How did this 17 year old bring about his fate?
How did he qualify as a thug? The hoody? The black skin?
And even if he did bring about his fate by struggling with a stranger who confronted him in the dark,, is it not a tragedy that a young man died over pretty much nothing?
He was a child of God, and his life mattered to me.

I still don't understand what you believe qualifies you to judge who is worthy of life and who is not.

Well, he did attack a man, and that got him killed. That would make him a thug, and he brought upon himself his own fate. No?

So, let me get this straight. Martin was killed because he was a "thug".
And, How do we know he was a thug?
Well, he got killed, didn't he?


Well, Zimmerman said that Martin attacked him. 
In light of the fact that police asked Martin to stay in the car and he didn't, and Zimmerman has had several run ins with the law since his acquital, what makes you so sure that Martin was the "thug"?
BTW, earlier you referred to Martin as a "convicted thug". What was he convicted of?

Stranger, with a gun, confronts a teenager in the dark and a tragedy ensues.
How did you get  "the world would be better without him, his life doesn't matter" from that?

Back to the original topic:

The person who disrupted the Sanders rally is apparently not affiliated with BLM at all.  In fact, the head of the organization condemned the action and said this person is not a member of the movement.

Good to know.
Jumping to conclusions about BLM is not fair.
