No more than anyone else's, really.
But, it might depend on who you ask and how you ask. Or, perhaps who does the asking.
You do realize BLM has a very specific agenda relating to institutional violence and discrimination against Blacks in particular, right? In your attempt at wit you have completely distorted their objectives and the meaning of their name...and you are still witless.

Of course it will all be blamed on the gun and not on the sick repulsive person that used it!
I pray for the victims and their loved ones.

A man claiming to be Bryce Williams called ABC News over the last few weeks, saying he wanted to pitch a story, and wanted to fax information. He never told ABC News what the story was.
This morning, a fax was in the machine (time stamped 8:26 a.m.)almost two hours after the shooting. A little after 10 a.m., he called again, and introduced himself as Bryce, but also said his legal name was Vester Lee Flanagan, and that he shot two people this morning. While on the phone, he said authorities are “after me,” and “all over the place.” He hung up. ABC News contacted the authorities immediately and provided them with the fax.
In the 23-page document faxed to ABC News, the writer says “MY NAME IS BRYCE WILLIAMS” and his legal name is Vester Lee Flanagan II.” He writes what triggered today’s carnage was his reaction to the racism of the Charleston church shooting:
“Why did I do it? I put down a deposit for a gun on 6/19/15. The Church shooting in Charleston happened on 6/17/15…”
“What sent me over the top was the church shooting. And my hollow point bullets have the victims’ initials on them.”
It is unclear whose initials he is referring to. He continues, “As for Dylann Roof? You (deleted)! You want a race war (deleted)? BRING IT THEN YOU WHITE …(deleted)!!!” He said Jehovah spoke to him, telling him to act.
Later in the manifesto, the writer quotes the Virginia Tech mass killer, Seung Hui Cho, calls him “his boy,” and expresses admiration for the Columbine High School killers. “Also, I was influenced by Seung–Hui Cho. That’s my boy right there. He got NEARLY double the amount that Eric Harrisand Dylann Klebold got…just sayin.'”
In an often rambling letter to the authorities, and family and friends, he writes of a long list of grievances. In one part of the document, Williams calls it a “Suicide Note for Friends and Family.”
–He says has suffered racial discrimination, sexual harassment and bullying at work –He says he has been attacked by black men and white females –He talks about how he was attacked for being a gay, black man
“Yes, it will sound like I am angry…I am. And I have every right to be. But when I leave this Earth, the only emotion I want to feel is peace….”
“The church shooting was the tipping point…but my anger has been building steadily…I’ve been a human powder keg for a while…just waiting to go BOOM!!!!”

Contrast the reaction to this Racially Motivated "Hate Crime" with the one a few months ago in Charleston....

just want to mention lack of AWARENESS on the part of the people that were shot yesterday . From my point of view the murderer walks up , raises his gun , points it , holds it , drops it down and looks like no one noticed . Isn't that weird ?? Then he level the Glock and starts shooting and the blonde reporter starts screaming . I might not be talking about the Camera man that was strapped into a rather large camera . And , I'm not picking on the women but both women were pretty much hands free yet they just didn't notice the guy walking up on them at pretty close range ready to murder them . Any thoughts ?? The video is in the link that I posted in the quote , like I say , any thoughts ??
