Not at all. All lives matter is a legitimate thing. Black lives do matter, but censoring one side and telling the other side what to say is censorship which is illegal. Attacking those who dont agree with you is wrong. Blacks aren't the only ones who have innocent people die at the hands of the police. They are just the best at being portrayed as the victim while the msm pushes it to drive ratings.
If someone is wrong for saying all lives matter, than you're wrong for saying black lives matter

Great point. That is also most likely what happened too. But she thought she would get an atta girl then people got on her. He said FB which means it was most likely family and friends and not randos.

A lady I follow on twitter who is pretty down the middle militant posted this and I agree. She is also demanding #justiceforDexterRantz in Orlando but it isn't picking up much steam.

I mean that isn't a murder by an authority figure so a little different.

Also things they are protesting for like equal rights stop violence in any community.

If the police weren't being given stand-down orders, we wouldn't even be having this conversation right now. There would be no need to mobilize the military.

You may be right, I'd wager however that the same people upset about the riots would be mocking the athletes and celebrities for using social media for daring to stoke racial divide.

Democractic leaders wanted this to make Trump look bad, now he either sends in the military and many accuse him over overstepping, or he doesnt and he is accused of doing nothing, right now its a no win situation for him.

I hear what you're saying, and I understand your POV, but I also understand why some people feel that deriding all lives matter minimizes that all lives, regardless of race, matter. When a black man is unjustly killed, people should speak up. At the same time, when any man is unjustly killed, people should speak up. You would agree that injustice should be called out regardless of skin color, correct? But I do understand that BLM is more about the history of this country and what black men and women have had to face historically.

Random thought, I wonder how people would react if a Red Lives Matter movement took root.

I believe everyone has a right to post what they want but damn read the room.

I agree about reading the room, but at the same time the people doing the attacking seem to be going for their E credit improvement. There are people that I know that have no business posting a plain black image as their profile. I think even before this people should keep their head on a swivel in regards to get blasted by the Facebook or twitter mob.
Personally I don’t post anything and don’t even want a freaking FB account.

Your first point about well Dexter's death is different would then exactly fit the "Some Black Lives Matter" mantra would it not? Does his blood not count as much as George Floyd's? I just wonder why they don't all cause the same outrage. Both were not deserving of death, Rantz's mother had to bury him on Mother's Day, the community in that area knows who did it but the "snitches get stitches" attitude has taken over....at least according to the Pastor who did his funeral.

There are all types of stop the violence movements around the country addressing day to day violence.

The crime, which is drastically lower than the 80s or 90s, won't drop super low until more people are educated and have access to better paying jobs and have equal opportunities in housing, education, fiance, and the judicial system.

Will this event cause those who couldn't see it before see it now? Will George Floyd’s death compel people to finally consider substance of Colin Kaepernick’s message?

Lol. I feel like we need to go back to the basics here. The fundamentals of problem solving.

Every problem has:

1. A symptom
2. A root cause
3. A solution

If it is missing any element, it isn't actually a problem.

The Kaepernick idea was that if enough people are aware of the symptom the root cause and solution will magically appear.

That isn't a good faith attempt to fix a problem. It doesn't seem to occur to people that Kapernick's protests was missing some key elements to fixing stuff. So now the reason it didn't work is it wasn't violent enough. News flash. This one isn't going to work either unless we stop feeding each other's outrage fetish and start focusing hard on 2 and 3.
