I think the problem is that a lot of killers in the second category are a) tax-payer funded and b) get away with it.

A valid point but in the current environment any murder of a black by a white will probably get way more news coverage than the murder of a white by anyone. An example from today's front page is: https://breakthematrix.com/homeless-lives-matter-white-homeless-man-executed-by-four-police-officers-at-bus-stop/ If the bum had been black there would have been national outrage and rightly so. But, as is, he is just some white bum who was sleeping on the sidewalk and was executed by four white cops because he told them to get fucked. Will this story make the evening news? I doubt it. (Well, it did happen like last August.)

So, change that.

If black people can start BLM, you can start MILM; Mentally Ill Lives Matter.

Of course the work done by BLM also helps white people not be victimized by the criminal justice system, so a second movement may be unnecessary.

I don't have connections to the Republican Party like BLM has to the Democrats.

However, there are more of those killers in the 3rd category, so...
