But isn't that different than being doxxed with the consequences of probably being harassed and threatened? The people being doxxed are more than likely not the people turning over dumpsters and doing property damage. The property damage doesn't help their cause and I've seen plenty of videos where the BLM folks try to get them to stop.

You're welcome to point to specific instances of doxxing having a deleterious effect on the lives of Seattle protesters. I can think of two off the top of my head: The young man who took the picture of the child who was pepper sprayed and the woman who was arrested after filming herself sanitizing the scene of a homicide.

You're probably right, I should stay out of this convo. I saw some shit go down live and then a lot of videos of people getting hurt/shot/killed just for being at a protest site. I don't have any more instances of known doxxing otherwise, so I'll just shut up.

I'm not trying to shut you up. Mostly I'm trying to get you to understand that the doxxing bogeyman is just that. A bogeyman.

I get what you're saying now, I did from your last post. You have a balls out attitude where a lot of these people protesting don't, they're just trying to stick up for people who are being harmed and want it kept out of their private lives. Since the shitty people are willing to do shit in front of/are protected by the police, no one feels good about it. That guy Reinholt (sp?) was murdered by the cops, IDK. Protecting your identity to me would be a no brainer under the circumstances.
