It's the new generations Rodney king, people were already angry and scared from the pandemic and this shit was so heinous fucking racists were saying it was fucked up. They are destroying their own communities and that sucks. In a week people are going to have so much more pain then we already had. People literally had businesses burnt to the ground not just locked down for a month or 2. Thisnnis sad for all the victims they createtrying to get justice.
Something else I'll say is they need to charge the other officers just like civilians would that's part of why everyone is more pissed then usual

These videos coming out of rioters are doing a good job in highlighting exactly who and what are the problems in our country.

Tmethyl said: My only opinion is that peaceful protests are always ignored, it's business as usual after a peaceful protest, and although these protests are violent and likely not a good course of action, it is an inevitable consequence of years and years of ignoring peaceful protests. This is the inevitable conclusion that should have been fully anticipated.
While I agree that peaceful protests never work in America, you should take it out on the political offices and the powers that be, not small businesses.
The sheer ugliness of it all has really just literally kinda sickened me. So I'm trying my hardest to stay away from it (although not doing too good of a job apparently since I'm posting here in this thread). And this will probably (hopefully) be last post on any of this.
I mean just watching and reading a little bit of the news this morning made my stomach nauseous. From the officer who squashed the life out of that guy to the rioting and the looting -- the whole thing is just uber depressing. And really, really sad, man. On so many levels.
Also seeing people openly root for the burning of businesses and living residences -- I think that really takes a special type of evil to root for something like that. I get being angry at the police and the government and maybe wanting bad things to happen to them specifically but a lot of these small businesses are people's livelihoods. Small business owners usually pour every cent they have into their business to make it work. I don't support rioting or looting of anywhere but it's one thing if it's a Target or a McDonalds, because those are mega corporations that will be fine in the end but a lot of these little random places that are getting torched and destroyed...it just makes me ill inside. Why are people hurting these people who have zero to do with what happened? And even big businesses -- what kind of sense does it make to destroy, for instance, a Target? How does that aid the war on police brutality?
And for those who say, "oh well it's just collateral damage", I gotta wonder if those people would feel the same way if their own business or say their mother or father's business got burned to the ground. Like would they say "ah it sucks mom that your hair salon got trashed because people are angry but hey it's just collateral damage you'll get over it".
Really easy to be unaffected by it when it's not yours but for someone out there...it is theirs. And their lives have been flipped upside down when they had nothing to do with any of this. Their business just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

The protests just aren’t shroomy enough for my tastes. I would like to see some people skillfully infuse some goodness into it.
Moving it a bit more away from the carnal jungle that it devolved into.

none of these riots would have started if the cops didnt smash that autozone and shoot tear gas at people kneeling at a social distance

Condos that gentrify and out price the poor and all this shit culture of buying up all the property and raising the rent endlessly - fuck those buildings
And fuck small business. Small businesses are still owned by greedy cunts who want to live off others labor ultimately. Happy to see it burn.

It's reaching places that haven't had violent riots before. Like several cities all across Pennsylvania had it bad. I don't understand how trying to burn down and destroy random businesses and police stations and government buildings, that we are going to have to pay for with taxes, will give any justice to the act in a different town in a different state. Like the people who are responsible are not in 60different cities.

Hungry people don't stay hungry for long.
Hungry people don't stay hungry for long They get hope from fire and smoke as the weak grow strong Hungry people don't stay hungry for long They get hope from fire and smoke as they reach for the dawn The spirit of Jackson now screams through the ruins Through factory chains and the ghost of the Union The forgotten remains disappear to their new homes The knife, the thrust, the life burns to the raw bone The blood on the floor of the tear is still dryin' Cover the spread sheets, the Dow Jones skyin' The cell block live stock, the bodies they buyin' Old south order, new northern horizon!
