I'm not going to research all of the issues that they have protested, there are just too many, but a quick google search will tell you everything you want to know.

I see the Resistance quickly organized marches all over today to speak out against the despicable events in the last few days. There are 2 candlelight marches tonight in my town. I want to go downtown later and join but my kid has school tomorrow.

I guess by "work" I thought you meant like charities or something, not protests. I already knew they protested.

Now we are having to defend Black Lives Matter instead of condemning actual hate groups, this is just the kind of deflection that Trump was going for.

Wow.  Imagine this:

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/08/charlott...estaurant/

Quote:Charlottesville white supremacist marcher gets ID’d on Twitter and loses job at hot dog restaurant

Quote:Another “alt-right” white supremacist marcher photographed in Charlottesville, VA over the weekend has learned why his 19th and 20th century forebears wore hoods to their rallies.

According to the East Bay Times, Cole White of Berkeley, CA has lost his job at Top Dog — a chain of hot dog restaurants.

I hope they hire a minority to replace him.  I wonder what his job was?  Mustard applier?  Bun opener?  Hot dog warmer?

So we are clear, my intention wasn't to deflect, and I did condemn the actions. But when I saw someone say that BLM has done a lot of great work, I got curious and had to ask.

Sorry that wasn't directed at you, we where discussing BLM before you even got in on the discussion.
