New article

New Article? Hate Crimes Linked to the George Floyed Protests Given that various experts have counted over 50 car attacks on George Floyd-sparked BLM protests, as well as over a dozen shootings, should there be an article devoted to the BLM counterprotests, violent and non-violent? Also, I'm looking help with this article about the attack by Anthony Brennan III on 3 Maryland activists posting flyers on a bike path - rejected by two editors, but I think it meets the notability criteria: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Maryland_Bike_Path_Attack_on_Activists Gorkelobb (talk) 14:35, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Should 'counter-protests' be changed to 'backlash' or something similar?

That way, it can include condemnation from conservatives, hate crimes as covered here, online hate speech as covered in these articles, vandalism etc. And also perhaps similar reported instances in other countries, such as Japan and the Czech Republic for example.
