Ex-GOP Rep’s Son Arrested For Spray-Painting ‘BLM’ On Trump Golf Club Sign | Talking Points Memo

I am mildly curious about the notion of protesters storming Mar a Lago.

I’m guessing the layout doesn’t lend itself to it? Never been - but likely there’s just a gate - and a LOOOOOOOONG driveway winding up through parkland? Kinda hard to ‘storm’ it?

But tagging a sign out front - possible.

Maybe we will find out his nanny was an illegal and she poisoned his mind.

“Black Lives Matter,” or “Bureau of Land Management?” The kid’s dad was a Republican representative, after all.

Yeah, all that is true. But I’d rather stuff go down there than to small businesses. I edited my comment to refer to protests first. I realized that Trump would probably send in the 101st Airborne before anyone got close to his precious properties.

You laugh - but having done business with “The” BLM back in the 90’s - it’s almost always the first translation I think of when I see the acronym

Good looking kid. FU look is strong with him.

This is fucked up logic. Anyone who believes black lives matter can express that any way the want. In this case, he was caught and accepted the blame.

I am only asking, because obviously black lives do matter, as a non-black can I not say that?

Maybe I misunderstand your sentiment, but if black people were the only ones fighting black oppression, we’d probably still have slavery.

That’s the white kid in the mugshot. He is taking the blame.

Over-the-top most horrific crime of the week.
Hope he does it some more.

Because he got caught. Had he got away, people would’ve thought BLM did it and cops would’ve been looking for a black kid.

There’s been WAY too much of this (VIDEO) for white people to do anything other than completely stand down from co-opting “BLM” at this point.

"The 18-year-old’s dad, former Rep. Tom Rooney (R-FL), told the station that his son would plead guilty and that he would “pay the price for it.”

“Hopefully he learns a lesson and moves forward in a positive way,” Rooney said."

He is learning, this is good. This is nonviolent civil disobedience, doing the crime and doing the time.

That is an unfortunate side effect. Not always the reasoning behind someone writing that though. Certainly a huge problem we have today is there is almost equal amounts of ratfugging going on, as the False Flag and Anti-False Flag have really muddied the waters.

It would be nice if the person just planted a BLM sign rather than spray-painting and defacing property. Perhaps that would be a sign of legitimacy rather than subterfuge.

And we know what would have happened when they found a black kid who “fit the description”, don’t we?

So now after this case, maybe cops will realize, “hey, maybe a white kid did it” next time.

You don’t have to be white to believe black lives matter, and to express that.

We know all this because the local police union doxxed him right?

Tagging a Trump property is vastly different from looting a bodega

Your statement has made me curious about something. What do you consider “black”? Is there a certain ancestral percentage required? Is it personal appearance? Is it being subjected to racial oppression? What about a retired white guy who tutors black kids every free moment for no pay with the desperate hope that he will improve their lives? What about a white guy who has donated a kidney to a person you might consider to be black? Does that add to their “blackness” at all? Or are those guys just saps?

I don’t think anyone should deface property, but what some see as defacement others see as art. I’ve seen some really great graffiti on train cars, etcetera, and if I knew who had done it, I’d try to get them into art school. Frankly, I’d rather wear a BLM T-shirt while marching through tear gas than spray paint BLM on a Trump golf club sign, because I know the time will come when that sign is going to be bulldozed. I might not live long enough to see it, but I know it will happen, just like all the Nazi symbols in Europe were torn down.
