20. The question is can they be considered part of BLM.

Since the primary figures of BLM have not denounced them in any way, I think the conclusion is obvious. In that vein I think it is incorrect to try to separate their actions from BLM because that reeks of condescension.

Until Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi say something about it I think it is wrong to play these games. Especially because Garza and Cullors have both been advocates for going after the Democrats.

BLM main Leadership needs to let us know they don't support the action taken Hydra Aug 2015 #1

IPs are not like buildings. They can be sold and bought instantly. jeff47 Aug 2015 #45
Thanks for clarifying that. robertpaulsen Aug 2015 #46
Most likely it always was and still is Amazon's IP address. jeff47 Aug 2015 #47
Could Merck and Amazon own the same IP address simultaneously? robertpaulsen Aug 2015 #48
No, but again the IP can be transferred in seconds. jeff47 Aug 2015 #50

Large corps usually buy the IP directly for their main sites. jeff47 Aug 2015 #54
Point, but the site went live before the IP changed hands,. nadinbrzezinski Aug 2015 #55
