I'm not black. It's not my movement. I can still be supportive without co-opting it. What "our movement" means is, "don't water down our movement by co-opting it and turning it into something else like ALL lives matter."

You still have yet to answer a simple question.
Here's how that works, I made an observation and pointed it out with emphasis, while you STILL resort to deflection tactics, all the more completely avoiding the question.
Well here it is again since you like to deflect;
How are terrorism and riots different, in YOUR opinion. Not the definitions of either, but YOUR opinion.
Why does it matter? It does.

Nice deflection, again...
So let me get this straight, according to YOU. Correct me if I'm wrong please.
A riot is a violent disturbance of peace by a crowd.
Terrorism is the use of violence to sway a political motif.
Does terrorism require explosives? Because I am still lacking apparently in the intellect department regarding domestic terrorism. How does "No Justice No Peace" translate to anything other than domestic terrorism, ESPECIALLY when the majority of the claims HAVE been resolved with "justice"?
Protests are one thing. Inciting violence is another.

I think there should be a group of just as obnoxious people who taunt the BLM group as they do their sit ins ect. Give them a dose of their own tactics by talking loudly right in front of them, interrupting every time they speak, keep blocking their way every time they try to move, basically being mirror images of how they act to other people. I wonder how they would like it, especially if it's done in a satirical way. I bet they'd scream bloody murder and demand that that behavior cease. I think the only way to treat boorish behavior is by turning that behavior back onto them.

You should probably supply context and sourcing for those photographs. One is of rioters in Baltimore in the wake of the Freddie Gray incident. The other is of FSA fighters in Syria. What is your point in comparing the two with no context or explanation?
