Okay, but now here's my thing. Let's address each of these things one by one. When you go protesting, turning into rioting and looting, that's not a Black Lives Matter phenomenon.

There are some bad people in every instance. Going back to Black Lives Matter, though, for you to say that, you say they have good intentions, they had the good intentions. How are you labeling out the actions of a few and condemning an entire group?

Yes, and there are many things you can say. I mean, if you go outside, you can say anything about doing something because you cannot deny that the man had mental issues as well and he was in a tough place. Just because you say the thing doesn't mean it's what it stands for, right?

You're the same person who argued on your show that just because Donald Trump has supporters from the KKK doesn't mean he's in the KKK. So it goes against that argument. It goes against that. You can't say he did it because of.

Yes, but Black Lives Matter has never said go out and shoot people. I'm saying you're saying this to your audience. And I honestly do not understand where you're getting that from. Just because a person, what if somebody says I felt emboldened by Tommy Lahren and so I went out and I shot black people. Are you now responsible?

Because police, in many cities, you look at Baltimore, you look at what happened in New York, you look at what happened in the case of Walter Scott, you tell me are police racist because they've been shown to harass black people unfairly, they've been shown to shoot black people when they're unarmed. Does that mean the police are racist then? Because that's the same logic you're using.
