OK, here’s your NSFW warning on this video. As expected, there were nationwide protests over the alleged murder of Tyre Nichols in Memphis, and in New York City, Black Lives Matter leader Hawk Newsom spread a bit of a mixed message. “F**k peace,” he exclaimed, although he said that didn’t mean wilding out. However, “we ain’t never taking violence off the f**king table.”
NYC: "F— peace! F— peace!" #BLM leader Hawk Newsom says. They gathered in Union Square over death of #TyreNichols allegedly by the hands of 5 black Memphis ex-cops. "We ain't never taking violence off the f—king table!" Video by Ken Lopez/FreedomNewsTV pic.twitter.com/xizelpgA1N

“They” always want us to be peaceful. Yes, yes “they” do. That’s not too much to expect, is it?
If you ever find yourself in the middle of the street and someone is trying to motivate you with a 📢, odds are they are trying to get you to do something you’ll regret tomorrow morning.
“Man I’m glad I listened to that megaphone guy!” -no one ever

Good point.
"Incitement to Riot" is a legal charge in pretty much all 50 states.

Another "peaceful" protest on the way.

They released this on a Friday evening because they knew and wanted exactly this.

About those donations, sir? 🤔

Black dude telling 50 white people to go do violence over black on black violence. Seems legit
— PlanetBS (@PlanetBSmemes) January 28, 2023
Yep and as soon as all that violence starts, he quietly skips out and goes home.

Oh. Are those the new rules then?
Works for me.

We should never take "inciting a riot" and "inciting violence" off the prosecutors table.

Hard to drum up enthusiasm when everything's being enforced (cops in question imprisoned, parents of Tyre asking for peace) All players are black.

Is this guy the black Ray Epps?

There was a time when I thought Hank Newsom was different and better. This makes him just the same as anyone else promoting violence.
— Rhinohelix (@Rhinohelix) January 28, 2023
Sooooo the cops were fired, charged and are in jail – what’s left?
— Source of Grey Hair (@freechewy) January 28, 2023
Maybe Hawk should take violence off the table and put a salad there instead.

Meanwhile, Black Lives Matter’s co-founder is watching this from her mansion on Martha’s Vineyard. Never forget all of the corporations and sports franchises that threw their full support (and a whole bunch of money) behind BLM.
