We were wondering how many riots were going to break out Friday night and in which cities. Black Lives Matter protesters kicked off their march at Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington, D.C., and as we’ve seen in several other videos, they decided to harass people who were dining outside at the city’s restaurants.
The Daily Caller’s Lisa Bennatan was on the scene and managed to catch the protest kick-off, led by the umbrella brigade.

Yes this will persuade me to listen to you. Definitely. Mobbing me while eating with family and friends will certainly do that.

Enjoy your meal, you voted for more of this.

And what exactly are these people who are dining supposed to be doing instead?
I mean aside from donating their hard earned dollars to a BLM money laundering outfit so its founder can buy herself another home in a white neighborhood.

Protesting has become big business.

Am I to understand that protesters don't dine?

It's DC, they see this as dinner theater, after all that's what they vote for.
So enjoy, people of DC!

In DC, it's almost impossible to get a concealed carry permit for a firearm.
But it's completely legal to carry pepper spray.
And you're a fool if you don't.

Who is so oblivious to what's going on that they are dining out in the city?
You couldn't pay me money to travel through any downtown area in this country right now, much less sit down and enjoy a meal

The only ones who don't really have an excuse are out-of-towners who have a reasonable expectation that the capital city of the world's wealthiest might not be a dystopian hellscape.

If they cared about black people dying they would march nightly through neighborhoods where young black men kill each other nightly. But they don’t give a damn about those young men. Plus it would be more dangerous than harassing white families dining out.

Eating is white supremacy.

Maybe they should do something more constructive than performative marching and yelling?
