BLM is a 2 + 2 = 5 movement. It started on a false information and lies and it continues to gain steam based on those lies:
It's a cute response to BLM, but let's be honest here; do all lives really matter? Though it's not determined by race, I think we can agree that some lives matter more than others. If there was a choice between saving Jonas Salk and saving Osama Bin Laden, is anybody here really going to hold up their hands confused and think "All lives do matter, so I don't know whose life is more valuable"?
The response shouldn't be #alllivesmatter, it should be #somemorethanothers.
While that's certainly true, the outrage isn't going to and shouldn't be equal for every life lost.To me lives don't all matter the same. Not even close and they never will. In terms of laws and justice though they should all be afforded equal protection and consideration through due process.

The problem is the violence and aggression (such as taking over a Bernie campaign stop) that BLM brought with them, from the beginning.
Another source of major heartburn is this entire violent movement spawned from a lie: "hands up don't shoot".
