I actually think most of what's going on right now is an outrage and am strongly against the black lives matter movement. Note, I am not a racist person I just have not seen evidence within several orders of magnitude to warrant this wreckless behavior.

In this case, I happen to agree with their statement and you don't. But, even if the opposite were true, I would still support the right for anyone to publicize their political beliefs.
