They're counting every group of five idiots who held a sign on a street corner.

And they apparently have the resources to do this?
There is a shocking amount of data from the source of the article here and from some other group that the source draws from here. Somebody spent a lot of time accumulating this data, or they have an interesting way of crowd sourcing the data.
I'm genuinely impressed by all the data these folks have been able to gather. It still doesn't prove BLM isn't a violent group.

They probably count the riots and anarchy in places like Portland as one long "protest" rather than 100+ separate nights of violence and anarchy.
Edit: I stand corrected. After looking at the actual data set, they do report each night as an individual event. They report half of the events in Portland over the last three months as violent. I don't live in Portland, so I'm not sure how realistic that is.

Came here to say this. Our "local" newspaper (owned by USA Today) had a story about a negro lives protest in a small town. Literally three people.

Yeah there was one around here that was like 10 white people talking about how shitty they are for being white. Literally not a single nigger there.

I saw 3 older white women throwing a nigger monkey lives matter rally in a small town. One had a sign that said her black son's life mattered. I wonder if she bought a nigger from africa, stole one from the zoo, or fucked one at the zoo. Not many apes in these parts.

The data set is here as a giant Excel file. For my city, they did correctly classify the BLM "protest" that devolved into property damage as a riot. They do seem to include a lot of smaller "protest" events. They also use count love as a source. This site lists several protests in the Excel sheet as having 20 or fewer people.
Here is an example of a "protest" that got counted in the data set. The video seems to include about ten "protesters", They appear in the middle of a field where they can be easily ignored. Here is an example of a "protest" that did not get included in the data set.

BLM "protests" are still more than a thousand times more violent than any gun rights protest. They are more than six million times more violent than any anti-lockdown protest. If you look over just the last six months and compare it to any other protest movement over the same time window, I bet BLM has caused more deaths, violence, and property damage than any other. Just because every place that some morons get together to shout BLM doesn't result in violence, doesn't mean that BLM isn't incredibly violent and destructive.

Seen 93 thrown around elsewhere recently. Could be a Crowley connection

Despite being only 7% of the total protest population...........

I would be willing to bet this is pretty close to right.
Go out partying with 9 others=10 people.
There is one jackass in that group will either get into a fight or do some stupid shit.
Same principal here..just bigger numbers
