    ah, damnit. back at this again. you're 10000% correct.

    ...but that doesn't mean you can't acknowledge the details as they're progressing, man. wtf. i just shared a video of how f----- up it was for the officers to shove an elderly man to the concrete, and you had no comment. but then i shared a photo of a playground melting and that's viewed at as being a ridiculous piece of media to share in your eyes.

    really anticipating a giant tsunami to wipe me out in san diego at this point. maybe we'll also get to see the super volcano under yellowstone erupt this year.

    let's just get it all out of the way.

    I would feel okay if the cops were murdered but I’d prefer them to be brought to justice through the legal system, I’m not confident the law will see that through however

    To me, I only get offended by the people against the looting when their way of thinking is, “Floyd’s death and the systematic racism is atrocious, BUT looting is also a terrible thing to do.”

    In my eyes, it’s like they don’t actually give a f--- about the former, and are just saying it to save face.

    If they are thinking of it like, “looting probably isn’t the best way of handling it, BUT it is a result of yet another racist killing and years and years of systematic oppression,” then I can see that point of view, though I don’t necessarily agree.

    the conversation should end on Floyd and the racism. Not the looting.

    i was talking about killer mike

    “Where my thuggers and my crippers and my blooders and my brothers?
    When you n----s gon' unite and k--- the police, MFers?
    Or take over a jail, give them COs h---
    The burnin' of the sulfur, g.d. I love the smell
    Now get to pillow torchin', where the f--- the warden?
    And when you find him, we don't k--- him, we just waterboard him
    We killin' them for freedom 'cause they tortured us for boredom
    And even if some good ones die, f--- it, the Lord'll sort 'em”

    What kinda worries me is that corona virus is still going on. Doctors and nurses are going to have big troubles soon. 2020 is not a good year.

    I mean I see where you’re coming from, and if these were just random lootings that took place I’d be 100% in agreement with you.

    stealing is bad, without context.

    but when you look at it in response to yet another killing of a defenseless black guy, I just think it’s so minor in the grand scheme of things. I couldn’t care less about a few people making a come up on a PS4 and a couple personal pan pizzas from the mini pizza huts in the target, when the overarching purpose of the whole thing is to protest systematic racism.

    would I personally do it? No. But I just can’t complain about something so unimportant, when there are greater discussions to be had. Especially, when the store is probably insured out the a--- and can afford to replace the goods a million times over.

    am i getting to you? it seems like the fact that you've lost an argument and weren't able to rationalize your own thoughts/logic has gotten to you.

    yes, america has extremely f----- up priorities! every elected leader who speaks after these things says something like “we need to protect property.... and life”

    i understand that the optics of stealing stuff are tricky for some people but i do think there are some things to keep in mind. one, this is a brutal recession that could get much worse. two, the wealth has become so unevenly distributed in this country that a lot of people, especially but not exclusively in poor neighborhoods, see these stores come in during waves of gentrification that make their lives materially harder. three, the media LOVES to sensationalize “looting”; late last night i decided to scan news coverage, and msnbc (supposedly a left-leaning channel) was doing this pearl-clutching bit on the los angeles protesters who were “looting local businesses,” and the footage was of people taking milk from a starbucks. a starbucks! one of the biggest corporate chains in the world.

    This happened a few years ago and the cop was never arrested. I think he may have even been hired back for a short time if I remember correctly

    Looks like the cop might've been exposed by his ex-wife for starting those fires last night..

    The officer deserves trial like all citizens (though I don’t trust our legal system to give him what he deserves) but I also won’t lose a wink of sleep if he’s murdered in his home tonight.
