ShockingBlack Lives Matter organiser who helped run demo that toppled Edward Colston's statue is Charged with Fraud involving Fundraiser Linked to the Protest Movement
One of the organisers of the Black Lives Matter demonstration that saw the toppling of Edward Colston's statue has been charged with fraud over a fundraiser linked to the protest movement.
Xahra Saleem, 22, will appear before magistrates in Bristol in January charged with two counts of fraud by abuse of position of trust after an investigation into a fundraising page attached to the BLM movement.
The first fundraiser was for the demonstration that saw the statue of Edward Colston toppled in Bristol back in 2020, and a second one set up to help support the people arrested afterwards.
Avon and Somerset Police investigated a GoFundMe page called 'BristBLM' initially set up for the demonstration on June 7, 2020 after donation money allegedly went missing.

Ex-Virginia Tech Soccer Player Who Refused BLM Kneel Gets $100K in Settlement
A former Virginia Tech soccer player who accused her coach of benching her when she refused to kneel during a pregame social-justice demonstration will get $100,000 under a lawsuit settlement, a new report says.
Kiersten Hening is receiving the money after agreeing to dismiss the federal lawsuit she filed in 2021 against head coach Charles “Chugger” Adair on First Amendment grounds, the Roanoke Times reported.
Hening claimed she was benched after Adair became frustrated by her political views, which often differed from those of her teammates.
Hening had specifically refused to kneel during a social-justice demonstration in support of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020.

I'm going to go with mass murderers, crowd slaughterers, and LEO attackers. Did I win a prize?All BLM folks are terrorists by your reckoning. What do you call far right school and church mass murderers, vehicle crowd slaughterers, and far rightists who call for attacks on law enforcement?

Just out of curiosity what is a vehicle crowd slaughterer?All BLM folks are terrorists by your reckoning. What do you call far right school and church mass murderers, vehicle crowd slaughterers, and far rightists who call for attacks on law enforcement?
His cited source was over a decade before the specific incidents that you named, just in case you get asked.Just out of curiosity what is a vehicle crowd slaughterer?
Are we talking about like Christmas Parade or Charlottesville purposeful run people over?........Or people banging on cars angrily as a protest and making others fear for their safety so they feel the need to remove themselves from the situation they did not create?
Just pointing out there are very distinct differences in some of these situations and the context matters.
While I don't believe that all BLM protestors were terrorists those that stayed after dark were at the very least part of the problem and in varying degrees party to the lawlessness and destruction. There was not enough condemnation from the movement because at least to some degree that violence and destruction served a purpose. When a movement/group uses/relies on violence and terror they are by definition terrorists.

Everything you said applies to far rightists, hate groups, and so-called conservatives as well. Far as I'm concerned, there are bigots on both sides. But mainly the rightists are the ones parading around with guns, threatening public officials, engaging in murdering, even of people just jogging, shooting up churches, malls, schools etc. Still, both are bigot infected. Romans 3:10
It's not just the rightists, or mainly the rightists as you put it. In one breath you say it's both sides then mainly those on the right. That isn't correct. You are allowing your bias to dictate your reality.Everything you said applies to far rightists, hate groups, and so-called conservatives as well.

In essence you really aren't all that different than the fringe on the right.
