A Black Lives Matter mob was out yesterday trying to bully patrons of a DC restaurant into showing solidarity with the BLM movement, when one woman wouldn’t comply:
1) In a scene that played out several times Monday, a Black Lives Matter protest that began in Columbia Heights confronted White diners outside D.C. restaurants, chanting “White silence is violence!” and demanding White diners show their solidarity. #DCProtests pic.twitter.com/fJbPM76vb0

2) In Adams Morgan, protesters screamed at Lauren B. Victor for several minutes for refusing to raise her fist with them.
“Are you a Christian?” a female protester demanded.
“Good for you — you stood your ground," Chuck Modiano said sarcastically as the crowd moved on.— Fredrick Kunkle WaPo (@KunkleFredrick) August 25, 2020
One of these bullies writes for Deadspin:
3) Modiano, who had been yelling at Victor and moments later identified himself as a citizen journalist who writes for @Deadspin, told Victor he couldn’t understand why she was the only diner in the area who wouldn’t comply. “What was in you, you couldn’t do this?”

The woman explains why she wouldn’t comply, even though she agrees with the movement:
4) “I felt I was under attack,” Victor, an urban planner, said, adding that she felt there was something wrong about being coerced to show support.

5) “In the moment, it didn’t feel right,” Victor said, adding that she also could understand their anger. “I wasn’t actually frightened. I didn’t think they’d do anything to me,” she said. “I’m very much with them. I’ve been marching with them for weeks and weeks and weeks."

It didn’t feel right because it wasn’t right! These people are fascist thugs, getting in people’s faces and demanding that they agree with them. That’s now how America works. But that’s how these commie types work. At some point disagreeing won’t be an option if these people get their way.
