Thousands of people demanding justice for George Floyd flooded the streets of downtown Philadelphia on Saturday, chanting “No justice, no peace!”
Demonstrators gathered near the Philadelphia Museum of Art and its famous “Rocky” steps before setting off for the City Hall area, with the line of marchers stretching for several city blocks along a tree-lined thoroughfare.
The protesters circled City Hall, clapping and shouting, “Black Lives Matter!” as some residents of an apartment building held signs on their balconies reading “BLM” and “Keep Going, Philly,” the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
To police officers and National Guard members, they chanted: “What do we want? Justice! When do we want it? Now!”

I am confused. I do not know one person who is defending the officers accused of the death of George Floyd. They are under arrest. The attorney general for the state is black. Can someone explain what justice means to Black Lives Matter?
From the Black Lives Matter site:
We are unapologetically Black in our positioning. In affirming that Black Lives Matter, we need not qualify our position. To love and desire freedom and justice for ourselves is a prerequisite for wanting the same for others.
Imagine if Black was replaced by White in the above sentence. I have stated my opinion that this country has a two-tiered justice system. It is based on power, not color. These same people in power are only solidifying their position using this issue. Looking at the people protesting around the nation, one fact is clear: useful idiots come in all colors.
Our nation’s future hangs in the balance. People on both sides have factions that want to see the country burn down. If they have their way, what will be built out of the ashes? The people directing everything know what they want. If they succeed, people will really understand that all lives do not matter.
