The Black Lives Matter Toronto group has come under fire over a tweet by one of its co-founders. On Feb. 9, Yusra Khogali tweeted, "Plz Allah give me strength to not cuss/kill these men and white folks out here today. Plz plz plz," according to Newstalk 1010.Well, Madam Premier... you could've asked her.
Asked to comment, Premier Kathleen Wynne, said, "I have no idea what the connection between a random tweet from one person — the connection between that... has nothing to do with the position of the group as a whole."
And please, Ms Wynne... don't tell us how these poor, unfortunate folks are perfectly harmless...
"The chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive unit was called in to investigate the home of Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, the day after a candlelight vigil by the activist group Black Lives Matter."I notice you weren't taking any chances when they came out to visit your happy home. Let's hope Allah did give Yusra the strength to resist those homicidal urges.

RELATED: See the actual tweet...
"Believe it or not, the tweet had five 'likes' before it was removed. Shortly after, Ali locked down her twitter account. But there was even one response that said "praying for ya... to destroy them."Click on the tweet to see BLM supporters mindlessly attack radio host Jerry Agar who originally broke the story.

RELATED2: Gotta have priorities, right?
Black Lives Matters activist Sandy Hudson blamed the media for focusing on the tweet, instead of the larger issues at hand.Oh, Sandy... no shame whatsoever? I notice Yusra has pulled up the drawbridge.

UPDATE: You lose support from Pinko Huffpo...
...you know you're in deep lefty doodoo...
Black Lives Matter Toronto is refusing to comment on a tweet posted by one of its co-founders about "killing men and white folks." Khogali's tweet, along with Black Lives Matter's refusal to acknowledge its impact, is disappointing. Perhaps worse, it reinforces one of the most prominent arguments critics have used to discredit the organization: Black lives matter, white lives don't.This must be like hearing Justin Trudeau wears a toupee.

LAST WORD: Tweet is "normal & upstanding"
Activist Desmond Cole: "Haven’t you ever wanted to kill someone?"Mr Cole cannot get his head around the fact that his interviewer has never wanted to kill someone.
I'm thinking Desmond Cole needs professional help.
