AURORA, Colo. — Aurora Police arrested a man suspected of stabbing another man after yelling “Black lives matter” Tuesday evening near East Alameda Avenue and South Sable Boulevard.

Steve Sinclair, 30, now faces potential first-degree murder and hate crime charges, documents show.

An arrest affidavit says Sinclair used a knife to stab 29-year-old Michael Conner who was transported to the hospital for his injuries and a collapsed lung. Conner, a white male, told police while at the hospital that Sinclair, a Black male, shouted “Black lives matter!” prior to stabbing him, according to the report.

Attempting to murder a white guy while shouting black lives matter. Seems pretty counterproductive to me.
 
Have to say latest headlines about some extremist BLM actvists do not seem representative of mainstream BLM movement that was supported by Donald Trump, Tiffany Trump, First Son in law Jared Kushner, 2020 Prez candidate Kanye West, Sen Tim Scott and others.

Moderate BLM activists have received great support from POTUS, FLOTUS, FDOTUS as was proven by historic boycott and US gov threat to Swedish government for securing immediate release od Samolai-America rapper A$AP Rocky.

This is the kind of civil pressure campaign other BLM supporters should also try to emulate using peacful boycotts if needed and avoiding violence.


An Inspiring Example of Peaceful BLM/Social Justice Activism
