Wikipedia claims that at least 19 people died as part of the BLM protests in 2020, including protesters, bystanders, looters, and guards. Will there be greater levels of violence in 2025? If at least 20 people die in connection with left-leaning political protests in 2025 this resolves YES, otherwise NO. If it's unclear, I'll err on the side of YES.

Update 2025-09-15 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - Geographic scope: Not limited to the U.S.
Counts: Deaths from such protests in the UK, Canada, Australia, and other Anglosphere countries will count toward the 20+.
Creator discretion: Deaths in non-Anglosphere countries may be excluded.
@Gemc I hadn't originally considered non-US countries, and reserve the right to exclude non-anglosphere nations, but I'm going to say yes it counts if it's the UK, Canada, Australia, etc.
Nominative determinism is the hypothesis that people tend to gravitate towards areas of work that fit their names.
