If BLM protesters are vandalizing statues of slave owners, obviously Madison protesters need a history lesson.

Also, Democratic WI State Sen. Tim Carpenter, was assaulted after taking a cellphone video of protesters. "Punched/kicked in the head, neck, ribs," Carpenter tweeted around 4 a.m. "Maybe concussion, socked in left eye is little blurry, sore neck & ribs. 8-10 people attacked me. Innocent people are going to get killed. Stop violence now Plz!"

I'm trying to figure out how any of this is an attempt to further the Black Lives Matter Movement.
It's morphing into a Marxist slow-motion revolution. BLM is the thought leader in this effort whereas Antifa is the street muscle.

"At some point the conservative side is going to reach a boiling point and respond kinetically. Shaun King, BLM leader, said it's now time to remove statues of the "White Jesus and his European Mother" from American churches. That will be the spark where even the timid will consider their 2nd amendment options.
