I think you fundamentally misunderstand the point of BLM. And the difference between BLM carrying out an attack, and random idiots at BLM rallies carrying out an attack. MASSIVE difference that didn't even seem to enter your mind. You also didn't once mention the very real injustices that BLM has protested, which were proven by the DOJ investigations into Ferguson and Baltimore. Two cities that were ravaged by the riots. But in those cities, black people were systematically held down and oppressed by racism within the justice system and our society as a whole. People with black sounding names get hired less than their equally qualified white counterparts, and black people are arrested at higher rates for drug related charges, even though white people commit those crimes more often. Those are just two random examples that you can find tons of research on if you just google it. That subtle oppression has been applied to communities of color for decades, and their frustration and anger is all pouring out now. So take those cities, of which I believe Milwalkee is another, and imagine an entire population of people being targeted, harassed, held down, and denied opportunities. So when we as outsiders, in our relatively cushy lives look at a riot, we think "what the fuck are they so angry about?", but that's the whole damn point, my friend. People like you STILL don't get why they're so angry. You've actually perfectly demonstrated why BLM is so important in an attempt to delegitimize them.

Oh, and we don't call them terrorists because they're not terrorists. They're rioters. They've existed since the beginning of our civilization, and we've never once called them terrorists. People are using that word now because they REALLY hate the message of BLM, and it feels good to call them the worst thing possible.

You're absolutely right, I didn't mention the injustices, just like the BLM movement doesn't mention any of the good qualities of Police or mention that not all Officers' are the same. The BLM movement has systematically thrown all Police into a single bread bowl and it doesn't matter that there is a human behind the badge, regardless of whether or not the Officer is Black, White, Asian or Hispanic. I didn't mention a lot in respects to the movement because in my opinion they're hypocrites at the very least, they condemn all of the Cops' but when a black thug decides to shoot up a neighborhood or burn down a business, it's considered an act of bravery and resolution for the movement as a whole. They rarely if at all condemn their own people. They chalk it up to be that the person(s) in question did it because of "oppression" which let's be honest, is a big load of BS and then some. Or my favourite, because they came from a poor black neighborhood, or alternatively, drugs were involved. 

Let's also take a look at protests that are for all intensive purposes 'peaceful' for example when they blockaded a highway, they halted all traffic, people going to work, delivery shipments of food, resources of all types, you name it, just to spread their word. I'm sorry, but to me that is a terrorist-like act of aggression when you block an ecosystem from performing what it needs to -- i.e., going to work to provide for your family, delivery shipments of needed things, etc. At that point in time, the entire lot of them should of been thrown in jail. 

Let's look at another protest, where the BLM movement has gone all over North America to halt Gay Pride Parades. their demands were that Police were not to be involved in any pride parades from there on out. How in what shape or form does that have ANYTHING to do with their movement? It doesn't. They just want Police to not be a thing, period.

Fast forward to now, the latest BLM "riot" in Milwaukee, before ANY of them decided to look at the facts, they raised what they could to ground. Facts shortly emerged after that, the guy that was shot and killed in question was named Syville Smith he has a lengthy arrest record. He was shot while running from the Police during a traffic stop, which would be something to riot about if it wasn't for the fact that the guy pulled a loaded weapon and pointed it at the Police. BLM could arguably (but stupidly) say "racism!" if it weren't for the fact that the cop in question that shot him was black himself. Systematic oppression? Right, because the system caused him to point a loaded weapon at Police, sure. Oh and by the way, the gun that the guy had was a stolen gun with over 500 rounds of ammunition. 

Besides, even if all of the aforementioned wasn't the case, let's say it was Police brutality or racism, it doesn't give ANYONE a right to burn down neighborhoods, attack random cops' and white civvies, to vandalize cars or loot whatever is in the way. At no point in time does it give anyone a right to behave the way they have. There is never a reason to burn down innocent businesses, neighborhoods, nor harm innocent civvies. Period. 

Lastly, terrorist is a broad word used. We typically don't call past civilizations terrorists because it's a fairly new word, started around the 1800's, by the French. The word Terrorisme (French) in turn derives from Latin word terrere, or rather e terreo, (to frighten). They're criminals either way, and by definition both criminal and terrorist have a lot in common, much like riot. Again, it's a broad word, a word already described by definition in a previous post. Label it however you want, it's all illegal either way.
