>>BLM protestors looted and rioted many cities. It was all over the news.

Sure, which cities did they burn down? The person I replied to made a specific claim I was asking about. You don't seem to be able to list them, either, despite them being all over the news.

>George Floyd’s killer was found guilty and sentenced... Breonna Taylor was with someone that shot at police.

And? The comment I was replying to said that the people BLM claimed to be fighting hadn't killed any innocent people. What was George Floyd's killer convicted for then? What did Breonna Taylor do that left her guilty?

I understand that situations are more complicated than what they end up reduced down to. But op made specific, false claims.



> which cities did they burn down?

Is it conceivable that perhaps the statement employed hyperbole to make a point and was not literal?

Your hairsplitting between "burning cities down" and arson misses the point completely.
