They weren’t dismissing, merely downplaying. Nobody is saying Ms. Heyer didn’t die. But since you’re acknowledging that the Ferguson riots did happen, tell me, what sort of damage did those people do?

1 person died, 10 people including 6 officers were wounded, 321 people arrested, at least 12 businesses were looted, and a QuikTrip was set on fire. Those are the numbers. If we’re going by numbers alone, the Ferguson riots were a lot worse. Of course, saying that might cause me to be pinned as a white supremacist, but BLM was connected to these riots, and people’s lives and businesses were destroyed.
It's a McNamara fallacy used to imply Black Lives Matters is an objectively more criminal terror group than neo-Nazi alt-righters based solely on body count.
