Hello Aaron,

 AI>> Ah, no. The peaceful protesters are not doing this although I know
 AI>> Donald Trump and other weak minded people put it so.

 AT> We had a "peaceful protest" here in Binghamton. At the conclusion of
 AT> the protest, they decided to burn down a handicapped-accessible
 AT> playground owned by the city.

That's not what I read.

There were over a thousand people marching during the day. Peacefully.

A small number of protesters stayed later but did leave after an organizer
asked them to leave and maintain peacefull demonstrations.

 AT> They took something away that my kids used to enjoy, and I helped pay
 AT> for.

I'm sorry that happened to your park and hope it can be rebuilt.

 AT>  "Black Lives Matter" <- That's who did this to us. I'm not blaming
 AT> someone out of convenience like people do with Trump - this was done
 AT> by Black Lives Matter without a doubt.

I believe there was a demonstration there, maybe it was organized by BLM, I'm
not sure. I don't believe BLM is reponsible for what happened there and from
what I read the mayor doesn't either.

It is convenient to blame BLM but that doesn't make it so. That is not what BLM
is all about and it's not the outcome they are striving for.

 Ttyl :-),
