A rather alarming situation is developing in Louisville, Kentucky, in which local businesses are allegedly being issued demands from Black Lives Matter (BLM) activists and told that if they don’t meet the demands, their business might be “f*cked with.”
Authorities have arrested Steven Nelson Lopez, 23, for allegedly killing Louisville photographer Tyler Gerth. They charged him “with one count of murder and one count of wanton endangerment first degree.”
