    I'm curious why the reporter referred to it as "security" including the scare quotes around the word.

    I've seen or heard a few sob stories like this about Cullors' response to criticism.

    She choked up as she described having to hire "security" after the negative backlash.

    "I spent the last week with security and, yeah, these articles have shown the homes that I live in and that my family lives in," she said, sobbing briefly.


    Meanwhile the group she co-founded led a march to the house the Washington County Attorney Pete Orput, the man responsible for former police officer Kimberly Potter being charged with second-degree manslaughter charges in the shooting of Chauvin.

    So she thinks it is wrong for pictures of her various houses to be published because she felt intimidated and a need to hire security. I wonder how she would have felt if her house was besieged by protesters. How intimidated and scared would she have felt then. You know. Just what her group did to Orput and his family.

    Equally miserable that is.
    With the exception of the elites.

    I guess it is true. Some animals are more equal than others.

    If it ain't broke don't fix it.

    That's what brought her to where she is.

    Interesting as well, all of her homes are in rich white neighborhoods.....

    But hey, anyone here who may have donated to BLM's cause the last few years, at least now you know where you're money has been going.

    For the sarcastically impaired the following is said in jest

    She is brave by moving into neighborhoods where she will face the greatest harm from racists.

    IOW, her family will continue to be provided for after she's gone. Folks typically call that an inheritance. You know, something that Marx and his followers loathed and ranted against wanting to see it abolished or severely limited.

    yup. Like the televangelists who go around buy private jets planes with donations because "God told them to."
