We had two black on black murders this past weekend , one guy was shot 5 times & the other was shot 10 [yes ten] times. Where's the outcry from black lives matter about those ? I mean they're black lives taken, and both were certainly excessive violence , so why no outcry/protest/demands, about either of those ?

Are we to assume ........ those do not matter ?
 

BLM is not interested in black on black crime in the cities. Or murders of black police officers. They prefer to talk about rampant racism that does not exist. Sure their may be some racism in the USA, as long as you have people there will be racism. To hear the news, you would think America is the most racist country in the world and that is just not the truth. BLM are a Marxists movement.... they admitted they are trained Marxists...
 
Details, please. What were the circumstances of these murders? Were the guys shot by law enforcement, while committing a crime? If so, was there no other way to stop them? Were they sitting in a car? Were they just minding their own business, walking down the street? Were they burglers who had broken into someone's house? It's impossible to discuss this without knowing anything about the circumstances.

Were the murderers caught and apprehended? Or were they just allowed to walk away? If they were charged, what crime were they charged with?

You are clearly baiting, rgp. If you wanted a serious discussion of this, you would provide pertinent details. BLM may or may not factor in to these cases; no one can discuss them without knowing more details.

Just look up the homicide statistics in most major cities....the vast majority of murders are committed by Blacks and Hispanics on members of their own race. Usually it is conflicts between drug and street gang members. Unfortunately, all to often, innocent people get caught in the crossfire of these "battles". These murders are so commonplace that they barely rate a mention in the news. However, if a White police officer is involved, it is national news for weeks.

Peoples priorities are in the Wrong Place, IMO.
 
The vast majority of murderers kill within their own race. White on white, black on black, etc. No , the national media doesn't really report on black on black crime. Nor does the national media report on white on white crime, either.

Why are some, who claim to be non-racists, so upset by three simple, non threatening words, "black lives matter"?

I seem to see so many folks behaving as though no one matters but themselves, never mind "all lives matter", and I live in a very peaceful part of the world.
I am lucky to listen to some great people prepared to extend the hand of friendship, and show love to very much unloved/angry people, and the world could do with more of those, no matter what else happens. :unsure:.

I am not "baiting" at all. There were two black guys shot , both by two other black guys, [as per the local news] that reported the incidents, both in store/gas station parking lots. We [at this time] know no other details because in the black neighborhoods "snitches get stitches" is the motto. They refuse to help the police.

They were not police shootings. But my point is, BLM gets all riled up when a policeman kills a black person, shouting black lives matter , rioting, looting, etc. Why are they so quiet, when the killer is a black guy ? IMO very likely over a drug deal gone bad. I guess those are OK ?
 
Because the BLM movement is about the inequal application of deadly force by policemen on persons of color. Since your incident is apparently between "civilian" individuals and not between police and suspects, it doesn't fall into the bailiwick of BLM.

And, BTW, your assumption that when Black persons kill one another it is "very likely over a drug deal gone bad" is pretty racist in itself. Do you make the same assumption when white persons kill one another?

What in the world is a "trained Marxist?" And who are the shadowy "they" who you assert "admitted they are trained Marxists?"
