To think either side is without fault in the riots is naive, to say the least.

I put that article in because I knew you'd jump at it, while discarding everything else and downplaying it. Very predictable. I wanted to see how you'd take the news sources and you reacted exactly how I thought. Your first instinct is to spin and downplay, you focused so hard on the one article that supports your own agenda that you disregarded the complete image that those few links present. There's a concentrated effort by White Supremacists to disturb protests and present BLM as a violent organisation, sometimes it's through Twitter or 'passive' ways like spreading hatefuelled propaganda, other times it's through rioting and looting and inciting others to do the same.

This is why you do your own research, by demanding it from others, you give them the power to lead the discussion. I didn't post those links to change your mind but to highlight the flaws in your thinking by adding one article that would appeal to your own agenda so you would disregard everything else in favour of that.

Also, your 'both sides' narrative doesn't pan out since you're confusing Antifa, a non-existent organisation for BLM. There's one side that's worse than the other in this situation and it's not BLM.
