'Back the Blue' members beat BLM protesters in Colorado ditch: 'Keep punching"



Members of a “Back the Blue” rally were seen fighting with Black Lives Matter counter-protesters in Fort Collins, Colorado over the weekend.

Video posted on social media shows members of the “Back the Blue” group advancing on Black Lives Matter activists. The confrontation eventually becomes a fighting match in a neighborhood ditch.

“Everybody keep their hands off their weapons!” one man can be heard shouting. “Keep punching each other in the face. Don’t shoot anybody.”

"x is wrong because if I do it, I'll get in trouble"

A lot of people never get beyond this stage of moral development.

As long as there's credible law enforcement, it mostly works. But therein lies the problem....
