Take the demonstrator out of the person

As most know I disapprove and am critical of the confrontational, divisive, and tunnel-visioned tactics of the Black Lives Matter organization.  Some claim this "performance" was staged and question its authenticity, but if this is legitimate and was truly impromptu as the video suggests, I will happily give credit where it is due...to both sides.  Honestly, even if it was staged, it's still a worthy example of both the right-wing leader and the BLM leader acting like persons instead of demonstrators.

UPDATE: I knew it was too good to be true.  The official DC chapter of Black Lives Matter condemned these BLM members for participating in "pro-facism rallying" and stated they "do not share our principles, politics, or values."  Why?  Because they proved that finding a common ground and acting peaceably actually got their message heard and helped with bridge building instead of being confrontational, combative, and divisive?  Yeah, can't have that.
