The problem with looting places like Target is that they’re destroying places where the elderly and disabled get their food/meds/household supplies. Looters aren’t thinking about the most vulnerable members of the community. Also, while I despise resellers, looting sneaker shops is a surefire way to get people turned off about the protests. I saw people in Jordan’s and Yeezys stealing Jordan’s and Yeezys.
I’ve seen police brutality cases my whole life. I remember Baez, Louima, Diallo, Bell and of course Garner. And what I continue to see is the same cycle repeating. Cops k--- someone, Justice isn’t served immediately, people start protesting, protests start turning violent either because of the cops or protestors, looting, then the interest starts dying down until a new case starts it over again. It’s a tired cycle of events. Liberal Whites need to also look in the mirror- if they’re gentrifying neighborhoods, attending protests isn’t going to wash away that sin.rapmusik, asvdawg, Ordinary Joel and 5 others like this. -

Some stuff is hard to judge in real time with each little event that happens throughout history because history, events and changes occur over many decades and centuries even more. If you looked at European history (of which USA is a product of) you could trace back chains of events linked to each other that form the present day going back some 2500 years ago. The longest time Europeans haven’t been consistently at war with each other is like 75 years...and that’s being extremely generous by not include the Balkan s--- from the 90s as “European”.
People are used to the realities of the times they live in. Witnessing a witch or heretic burning at the stake might traumatise most Europeans today but 2 or 3 centuries ago wouldn’t even phase them.
USA is only like 240 something years old now. Before that it was british colonies for like 170 years. African slaves have been brought in NA since the colonies and into independence USA (I believe?) for about 400 years. Seeing slaves in their conditions being sold in cages, or lynched or burned alive (which happened too btw) would shock us now (h---, might even shock some “modern” racists), but back then it was just a normal part of life people were brought into raised into believing was normal.
Even if you were against it and thought “ya know, that’s kinda mean ain’t it?”, you wouldn’t be shocked by it if you were around back then. 3-4 centuries of slavery and brutality and racism so dehumanising is impossible to undo by simply “abolishing slavery” as a law some mere 150 years ago. Racism, whether intentional, inadvertent or inherent doesn’t just disappear from society simply because a law passes. Obviously, since lynching was still frequent til the 1930s and there was segregation til the f---ing 60s??? It wasn’t that “shocking” to see those things happening back in those relatively recent times either. even though blacks had already technically been “free” since 1865
1865 is only recent history if you consider the WHOLE of history and how societies develop and change. Segregation ending in the 60s is like f---ing yesterday in the grand scale of things. Do you think racism (which is a very complex thing and not always conscious or obvious) just f----- off and disappeared into thin air after the civil rights act of 64 or whatever?
f--- no. And if one of you fa----s mention that Obama was black I swear to god...of course today is progress to the 1600-1800s, I guess? Congrats?
And who knows about these protests, like I mentioned earlier, random, or seemingly at the time, unintentional or unrelated events (often violent, assassinations, massacres, revolution, rebellions, even non violent things) in history spanning a few or many centuries turned out to be a gradual work in progress to big changes, social or otherwise.
so yeah maybe history will see the LA and every race riot after that as related precursors to the step towards a greater good and be absolutely revolted at us (or more specifically, you, white Americans, shame on you cucks) for just reacting with “oh my gosh that’s awful, we should do something about that. However, looting is a no-no” at all these cases of cops killing blacks like this then and going about your day. Just like we look at those barbarians of every century in the past
Or maybe not, who the f--- knows. I personally see those germanic neanderthals who looted and sacked Rome as barbaric f---s. The glorious Empire should’ve slaughtered them all when they had the chance and we wouldn’t have had to deal with that whole bs of the 20th centuryasvdawg, Fire Squad, M Solo and 5 others like this. -

Nah. Cops are f---ing losers. They expect you to do the hokey pokey and turn all around just because they’re in a position of power. If you don’t comply, they f--- you. I’ve been cited numerous times while my friends got away with the same s--- just because I’ve told them to their faces they’re f---ing losers, and didn’t listen to their ridiculous orders. I’d probably be severely injured or dead if I was black and treated those pieces of s--- the way I do whenever I encounter them.Last edited: May 30, 2020Ordinary Joel, OwI, Buddha and 5 others like this. -

i'm late to the party, but looting stores is one of the worst ways to make a statement. I’d much rather see someone burn a full store to the ground than to take items from it. If you’re stealing, you’re just using the chaos to personally benefit...and it’s nothing but theft.Ordinary Joel, JEB, Guma and 5 others like this. -

property is insured. it's an outlet. the jerk-off american creation myths are all about a protest that destroyed tons of property. to say nothing of the fact target barred protesters the night before when they needed milk to combat tear gas, to say nothing of the fact that you're tsk-tsking people takign things they need to use or sell during the worst economic downturn since the depression. spare me.ThugLifer, Rodamon, Ordinary Joel and 5 others like this. -

this is incredible.
and I don't want to be shocking here, but in a sense, the world feels more meaningful when an actual nightmare and a literal braze follow the absurd murder of a manLast edited: May 28, 2020ThugLifer, Rodamon, Ordinary Joel and 5 others like this. -

it’s also totally a red herring. No where did I say “no one cares if a cop gets shot.” That literally had nothing to do with my point. This might be shocking to Michael but...police officers have to put themselves in dangerous situations at times & risk their lives. It’s part of their job. Unfortunately, that means some police officers will die in the line of duty. There’s no avoiding that. If we want to 100% ensure police safety, we’d have to either a) completely remove police from the streets or b) give police officers total discretion when to use lethal force (essentially fascism).(This ad goes away when signing up) -
