>> When looting and vandalism are allowed to reign supreme, the atmosphere alone sets the stage for more violence.
>> Violence begets violence, whether it's committed by BLM protesters or a mob of Trump supporters.
Moreover, we ban accounts that use the site primarily for political battle, regardless of their politics. We have to, because it destroys the curious conversation that HN is supposed to be for.
Your account has been using HN primarily for political battle and just slid significantly downward toward flamewar hell, so I briefly just banned it, but I decided to give you the benefit of the doubt instead, and assume that you didn't know what the rules are. Please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and use HN as intended in the future. That means thoughtful conversation on a variety of intellectually curious topics, no flamewar, and not using the site primarily for political arguments.

By that logic, you should be blaming the police. Why did you stop tracing back once you got to BLM?
Also, please don't use HN primarily for political battle. It looks like you've been coming close to that line lately, and that's the line at which we start banning accounts. We have to, because otherwise this place will just turn into a political flamewar site, and we can't allow that. I've written many explanations about this if you (or anyone) cares to read them.
