This is probably gonna fall on deaf ears or whatever the saying is, but seriously BlueBayou? Where have you been for the past 6 months or so as we have hashed and re-hashed various perspectives on this issue?? This "discussion" you allegedly wish to have happened here some time ago, and as I recall, people shared their opinions, even those thought to supposedly be dissenting, and we did so, mostly like adults (there were probably gifs though, cuz that's how we roll). Now you roll up in here in a thread that is really mostly about ice cream (because yum), and try to stir the pot? Why?
To say that "all lives matter" or even "blue lives matter" in the way that you are portraying here serves to dismiss the identities of all of those people. Do all lives matter? Absolutely, and I'm pretty sure no one here has ever said otherwise. AND THAT'S THE POINT. All lives matter, and as I'm sure has been said here and our many other threads on this issue, some people still deeply believe that some people's lives don't matter as much as theirs. That's not race baiting. Its fact. If you've been lucky enough in life to never experience that for yourself, well good for you, but don't you dare for one second come here and try to say that my lived experience (or the experiences of others here) is not real. I'm not gonna try to even give examples about how these folks did not deserve to die the way they did because I'm pretty sure NewOrleans covered it, balls* to the wall.
You didn't come in here to have an open discussion on the issue and that's pretty clear from your initial post.
Also, I just have to add that first consideration of the phrase #bluelivesmatter, all I could think of was:
"Not gonna lie; I kind of keep expecting you to post one day that you threw down on someone who clearly had no idea that today was NOT THEIR DAY." ~dontcallmeshirley

To bring it back to the original post, it says in the article that the company distanced itself from it's co-founders position a few days later. Do we know just how far?
All this and no one has mentioned that callingallangels liked bluebayou's post?
The initial post or are you referring to a different one? Because there aren't any likes on that first post BlueBayou made in this thread. Or perhaps we have a surreptitious un-liker in our midst.

lyssbobiss, Command, B613 do you know BlueBayou well? It seems she normally posts over on SO and I'm left to wonder if her flailing around in this thread is unusual.
This bitch ain't never registered for me. I'm sitting over here scratching my head like "...and you are...?" I'll remember her ratchet ass now though.
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."
