ACLU Accidentally Admits Black Lives Matter Is a Violent Organization
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) cannot decide whether Black Lives Matter is a violent organization prone to mass rioting. Leaders from the ACLU blasted a recent anti-rioting bill in North Carolina, calling it “racist” and “anti-Black Lives Matter,” WNCN-TV reported. House Bill 805, sponsored by Republican North Carolina Speaker of the House Tim Moore, aims to increase punishment for looting and rioting. Under the bill, people would be charged with a felony “if in the course of the riot the person causes property damage in excess of fifteen hundred dollars ($1,500) or serious bodily injury.” But activists claim the bill targets people of color. Angaza Laughinghouse, the ACLU’s North Carolina Field Manager, said the “bill is a retaliation against the Black Lives Matter movement.”
