The Other White Vigilante
By thecollective
From It's Going Down, by Peter Gelderloos
Peter Gelderloos looks at the harmful role of “progressive” white vigilantes in resistance movements.
More recently, another kind of white vigilante has carved out a niche. This kind comes from the Left, and they claim to be critical of the police and the white supremacist structures with which they work hand in hand. Meet Kristina Beverlin. Kristina was a participant in the CHOP in Seattle who frequently used her social media (@krisbeverlin on Twitter and @mindfulexplorer on Instagram) to share #BLM posts and criticisms of the police.
