Its hard to give a damn about this death. Her brain was poisoned by social justice ideology, they blocked a motorway to spread their message and someone drove right through them. Despite the early reporting of a'far right attack' it turns out the driver was black.
Really?

Sadly yes. And a number of the deaths and injuries from these protest zones. 'Play stupid games win stupid prizes' come to mind. It's all "abolish the police!" until someone is seriously hurt or in danger and then its "quick get the cops!". These people get their way then the carnage we've seen so far will be the tip of the iceberg and it won't be their nice middle class white neighbourhoods that will be feeling the brunt of it (well not for a while) and it certainly won't be the privately secured neighbourhoods of the politicians and celebrities championing this bullshit that will feel the consequences. It's not like there is going to be any real recognition of the carnage in these poor neighbourhoods, their lives don't mean a damn in the world of the virtue signaller.
Sucks for her (well 'non-binary' so no idea what the pronoun is) family, maybe some of them tried to stop her heading down this path.

7.5 billion on Earth. I'm saving my empathy for adults that don't play on freeways at night.

@Rembrandt @antipodean I'm not defending her actions, but the day we stop caring about people dying is a pretty fucking sad day. Do we care about a drug addict dying any more? An alcoholic? Someone with a criminal record?

According to WEF, 150,000 people die per day around the world. I don't give them a second's thought and I don't believe anyone else does either.

Great retort
'It's my job to educate you'
I think she's got the painters in tbh

It's the sheer vaculity of the arguments which continues to astound me when I see things like this.
Is there no critical thinking or reasoning in their heads or do they think owning a book which reinforces their rather weird view on skin colour gives them some sort of intellectual superiority?

Here's a thread which expands on the meeting. Well worth a read/listen to understand the thinking (or lack of) of these people. The bit from 16:55 where the Latino member criticised SJW Robin and her response sums things up brilliantly.

I am not against action and people informing themselves about this and parents, families and communities having a discussion and debate. But this is very disappointing and does nothing to educate or even ‘help the cause’. It’s irresponsible and a classic case of over reach.

Jesus. My ears are bleeding.
Have to admire Robin's self-confidence though. Wearing a swimsuit to a business meeting. Stay classy Chicago.

Apologies. I should have included a health warning

Her intellectual self-confidence exhibited itself as nothing less than racial bigotry. How the fuck do these people get into a position to influence public policy?

Looked the bloke up. Amazing story and speeches. Trump has actually been praising Douglass for the last few years, comparing him to MLK (which isn't an unfair comparison TBH). Trump's already attacked the "anarchists" who pulled the statue down.
Makes you wonder if it wasn't loony white supremacists, it was the loopy anti-Trump brigade thinking praise from Trump automatically makes you evil...

It's a very diffent concept to say you don't think about the 150k people that die each day of various causes that you neither know nor hear about, to hearing a story about one person dying and stating you don't care about them because their political views led them to do something stupid.

I wonder how many know this about the cause?
"Black Lives Matter has a key goal internationally of defunding the police, the movement says on its U.S. website. "
