System of a Down's John Dolmayan Says Black Lives Matter Is a "Democratic Party Propaganda Tool"

"They have shown themselves to be the enemy of the people of the United States"

While Black Lives Matter demonstrations continue throughout the U.S., System of a Down drummer John Dolmayan has moved on the opportunity to blame the death of a young girl on BLM organizers, a group he calls a "Democratic Party propaganda tool."

In an Instagram post from yesterday (July 6), the drummer posted a photo of deceased eight-year-old Atlanta Black girl, Secoriea Turner — who Dolmayan claims was murdered by "BLM radicals" for crossing a protest barricade.

He wrote:

The supposed black lives matter movement never had legitimacy in my view and were always a Democratic Party fundraiser and propaganda tool. Along with Antifa, they have shown themselves to be the enemy of the people of the United States and have adopted lawlessness emboldened by a sensationalist media and the moronic Hollywood elites who pander to them at every opportunity. They will be brought to justice but when? How many more innocents need to be murdered before we come to our senses.

Charmaine Turner, mother of Secoriea, has offered a $10,000 reward for help in finding her daughter's killer. So far, no suspect — BLM affiliated or not — has been named in the case.

Previously Dolmayan had expressed praise for President Donald Trump, calling him "the greatest friend to minorities." Despite the obvious contradiction between Dolmayan opinions and the rest of the band's — including politically outspoken frontman Serj Tankian — System of a Down members remain close friends
