Anyone who blames BLA for looting, but also hold the entire anti-abortion movement responsible for clinic bombers.

What is BLA? I think it’s second time you’ve used that acronym

Jesus, just because BLA lacks the structure and authority to create a national platform and control the actions of those who do and do not claim to be part of BLA, doesn't mean they don't exist. :roll: I'm sorry you want them to be your punching bag.

Did you just makeup your own organization? One where you pick and choose the parts from a real organization that actually exists to make yourself feel better about the real organization.

I think the best thing that could happen for Portland is a very early arriving and extremely cold and snowy winter.

The real best thing that could happen is for covid to stop being a thing so people go back to relatively sane social outlets like drinking around other people and league sports

Movie theaters would be nice too.

And apparently they aren't opening around here anytime soon.

I don't really like calling them BLM, though the way they mindlessly shout "black lives matter" over and over is fucking creepy. They're brainwashed white shitheads using BLM for their own agenda.

They're antifa. I don't care if you think they don't exist.

Or call them whatever you want.
