Your side turned the world upside down over people lawfully defending their property, and yet you accuse us of distracting from more important issues? You are disgusting.

More people have been murdered by rioters in the past month than have been murdered by the police in the past ten years. David Dorn, David Patrick Underwood, Atalia Marie-Kelly, Jose Guitierez, Victor Cazares Jr., Francisco Montiel, Chris Batey are among them. The right of citizens to defend their private property is infinitely more important than curbing police brutality.

Additional layers of delicious irony:

First off, the gate wasn’t protecting anyone’s property. It was a passage to a so-called “private street,” and the protestors were going specifically to the Mayor’s house which was on that street.

Why?

There is even more of a backstory to this protest that you may not be aware of.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/06/29/us/st-louis-mayor-police-reform/index.html

Just a couple days prior, the Mayor had read aloud the names and addresses of St. Louis-area police reform protestors at a press conference.

Names. And. Addresses.

You don’t have to be a BLM supporter to see how that was wrong. It was totally improper for the Mayor to do that and, arguably, intimidation.

So, a peaceful march on the very place the mayor herself lived was totally understandable, justifiable, and appropriate.

And as it turns out, they got incredible footage of a freaked out Karen/Ken couple along the way.

And as it also turns out, the sole casualty in this entire drama was a gate.

Boohoo

I nominate this as the single most successful and impactful BLM protest in history to date.

#GateGate indeed
