Black Lives Matter Seeks Destruction, Chaos

The rampant destruction that erupted in Milwaukee’s north side over the weekend is just the latest violent outburst that makes it clear that — despite any pretense of being a civil rights group — the Black Lives Matter movement is more accurately an anti-order, anti-police force for destruction.

Soon after news of the police shooting of Sylville Smith, a young black male, became public, Black Lives Matter activists on social media stoked anger and frustration in Milwaukee’s black community that first led to protest and rapidly descended into a full-scale riot.

“Y’all burning down sh*t we need in our community. Take that sh*t to the suburbs. Burn that sh*t down. We need our weave.”

BLM has “stoked hysteria across this country over the lie that black men are being hunted down by white police officers,” Bishop E. W. Jackson told Fox News Sunday. “A mass hysteria has taken grip … [They are] using race as a way of avoiding responsibility,” Jackson added.

In a repeat of other recent instances of alleged police brutality, social media sparked massive outrage before any actual details emerged on the incident. The myth of an innocent black man killed at the hands of a racist white police officer sparked the Milwaukee riots — but details have since emerged that suggest man was not innocent. And he did not die at the hands of a white police officer.

The victim — or, more accurately, perpetrator — was reportedly shot while pointing a handgun at a police officer. The police officer who shot him was also black. Nevertheless, marching lockstep to the music of the racial grievance industry, young agitators ran amok.

The complete chaos saw at least six buildings burn down — because nothing sticks it to The Man like burning down one’s own community. “I have insurance, but you have a lot of creditors you owe money to, so it’s just a sad, sad day in Milwaukee,” the owner of one of the damaged businesses, A to Z Wholesale, told a local Fox affiliate. “I’m broken-hearted.”

“I’m a wholesaler of soda and juice. I deal with a lot of these gas stations. The one they burned down on Sherman and Burleigh — that’s one of my best customers,” the man said. “The gas station is devastated. Obviously it’s a total loss. That’s a business owner who was making an honest living, and now the gas station is reduced to nothing.”

In addition to destroying their own community, rioters also threw rocks and bricks at police officers, as well as journalists — some of whom were also physically attacked by protesters. There were reports of gunshots, while video footage shows rioters shouting “black power” as a gas station burns behind them.

Of course, if black lives truly mattered to the rioters and those who cheered them on from the safety of social media, they would have probably protested — peacefully — after each of the deaths of the almost 150 black murder victims in Milwaukee in 2015. If they truly cared about their community, they wouldn’t burn it down.

But it is becoming increasingly difficult to pretend that the Black Lives Matter movement holds the promise of anything other than violence and destruction. CNN did its best to attribute a peaceful element to the protests on Monday morning by featuring one of Smith’s sisters calling for peace. “Don’t bring that violence here,” said Kimberly Neal, one of Smith’s sisters.

Despite CNN’s selective editing, Neal was not calling for peace — she was calling for peace in black neighborhoods and requesting that rioters instead target the white community for violence. “Burning down sh*t ain’t going to help nothing,” she continued. “Y’all burning down sh*t we need in our community. Take that sh*t to the suburbs. Burn that sh*t down. We need our weave.”

It appears some may have taken her calls for violence against white people to heart, as video footage has emerged from the riots which appears to show rioters hunting white people for sport.

“How do you expect to get a positive outcome from this type of negativity and destruction?” the owner of A to Z asked. “I’m looking at an entire gas station being burnt down. I’m looking at somebody has to go to work tomorrow and their bus shelter is face down on the ground. From here to that corner to that corner. What did we prove? What did we accomplish?”
