    If you addressed the former, the latter wouldn't happen. You are trying to tone police the reactions of that have been oppressed and dehumanized in this country since its foundation when they finally have enough.

    What that speaks to isn't how morally righteous you are for looking out for this invisible "little man". It speaks to a bubble of privilege where you think of this event as a public spectacle and not as what it is; the result of state sanctioned terror.

    But like I said. That private store was probably smoking weed when it was a construction sight and was bound to end up burned down sooner or later.
    So... looting and rioting has not happened outside of police brutality before? Really?

    Your last sentence - basically the "argument" of "but he smoked weed/did small time robbery".

    That is a nice theory that everything is ensured... Really nice, but I do not think that it is a reality. Small business owners also tend to live "paycheck to paycheck".

    You quite clearly do not.

    Let me remind you - one crime does not excuse the other. You CANNOT take the parts from law you like and discard the rest.
    Get a grip - not everything is about USA's systematic failures. Other people also have to live. Mobs destroying lives of other people just add even more problems.

    If you still do not get it - police killing an innocent does NOT give YOU rights to destroy life of SOMEONE ELSE totally not connected to the first act.

    Go tell to the owner of a small family run shop that it was burned down because of systematic injustice. Go on. Would make for a funny youtube video.

    That's hard to do when many of them makes sure their faces are covered with masks and do everything they can to hide their indentity.

    It doesn't. Move street by street and simply arrest anyone who hasn't disbanded. Get a fire house or two and sweep up the mess.

    As soon as the cops do that, the leftist media calls the cops racist.

    Was it a video game group? Uh... no. Never played any games in the series. Justification for use of force, to more quickly disperse the protestors, to change the narrative from "police murder man" to "riots, beware!" It's a time-honored tradition for military and related powers.

    What do I want you to say? Nothing.

    Once again, your choice of words gives us big hints as to which race you meant to emphasize in your statement

    It's okay we can agree to disagree on the business' being insured aspect, but I do agree with the rest of what you said in that post. I don't think looting does anything but hurt the community.

    You simply broadcast a message to disperse before you start each street.

    You mean like calling out fascists and racists?

    Not when the leftist media has the power they do. They bully anyone they disagree with into silence, They thorw gas on the fire that makes it harder fort good cops to do their job. They are as much of the problem as anyone.

    You weigh evils its the true burden of leadership. A few hurt feelings is acceptable over what was allowed to transpire over doing nothing.

    CNN is getting destroyed.

    Get ready to hear about how the talking heads of the neoliberal class have to be destroyed or an excuse like that from the usual posters

    For those that are sane this is incredibly dangerous

    If you don't like it, take your business elsewhere. You are as bad as Trump is with your hatred of the First.

    You are free to watch Fox News, OANN, Breitbart, or start your own.

    its very easy to label people something because they don't fit into your narrative right? Well despite your beliefs, I'm neither american, or voted for any political government in the last 9 years, so I don't have any weight in either side. However I don't count supporting black communities as clapping those who burn down someones store or home just because of the color of the arsonists skin.

    I emphasize with the people who got caught in the middle of this crap.
