Why are the left majorly the ones that disrespect Martin Luther King's memory?

I remember during the BLM protests for George Floyd last year, there were rioters and looters during the period. Everytime any person who was against the rioting would bring up the fact that MLK peacefully protested, usually a member of the left will respond "Well, look what happened to him."

Are you implying that only the ones that commit no violence whatsoever are the ones that end up being killed in the end? I'm sorry, but have any of you ever heard of a man named John Brown? A radical abolitionist who used violence to liberate slaves? It's not like he had much a better result in the end.... 🙄

MLK believed rioting was a natural result of injustice.
Everything conservatives say about BLM today was also said about the civil rights movement. Conservatives claimed it was nothing but rioting and looting.

You guys use the same argument any time people fight for civil liberties.
And by the way, I'm 100% against rioting, looting, and any illegal activity. However, I recognize that most BLM marches have been peaceful. You're just pretending it's a violent movement in order to discredit it, like y'all did with the civil rights movement.

@sunsporter1649 Nice try, but I didn't say there were NO violent riots. I said most of them have been peaceful. Like the conservatives of the sixties, you're only focusing on the few violent protests in order to discredit the entire movement. Fashies never change.
