A peaceful demonstration for Jamar Clark and Black Lives Matter exploded into violence late Monday night in Minneapolis when suspected white supremacists opened fire on the protesters.

Now will the people responsible for spreading propaganda against BLM take responsibility or shrug it off as "well they shouldn't have been making trouble".

This whole "Black Lives Matter" makes me so mad. It should be "All Lives Matter" There are just as many White, Yellow, Orange, Brown, Green, Blue and so on lives that are taken by evil. "All Lives Matter" No one should have there life ended early unless they have done something to deserve their life to be taken.
Okay, I will step off my soap box and move on.
It is disgusting the hate they these people spread and when someone acts upon it, they pretend they had no influence on it.
“F*** you, you filthy white f***s!” protesters shouted at students studying for exams Thursday. “F*** you and your comfort!”
“F*** you, you racist s***!” they screamed between relentless chants of “Black lives matter!”
It's unclear who fired the shots and police have named no suspects, but protesters blamed a trio of alleged white supremacists wearing bulletproof vests.

You are mad at two sides of the same coin. There are people in the BLM movement that act just as irrational and ignorant to those on the other side. And the ones responsible for the violence here are just as bad as anyone opposite them who would use violence as well.
The problem isn't BLM vs non-BLM, it's violent people. And yes, some instigate against BLM, and some on BLMs side instigate as well.

If you listen to the descriptions of the people responsible, and their actions, this sounds like it could very well be agent provocateurs.
3 masked men who were asked to take off their masks, confronted by protestors, opened fire on them, 5 were shot but apparently no non-life threatening injuries. One report said they had pepper spray as well.
Im questioning whether or not its possible they were agent provocateurs and thought their lives were threatened. Look at how easily police get spooked and shoot people. Which would be hilariously ironic if that were the case, given a BLM protest. Whether or not they find someone for this in the next week or so will be telling. If they do it can be written off as a bad hypothesis. If they don't, Id be very seriously questioning the possibilities.

What better way to simultaneously discredit this protest, inflame racial tensions and allow the police to prevent future standing protests then to send in a few agents(whites, mentioned several times) to fire a few shots.

More apologism for racially motivated white on black crime.
Someone tell these #ing freaks that blacks are no longer considered 3/5ths of a person and they're 1st Amendment right to protest is valid.
#ing apologists everywhere this morning.
