    Why single out black people? Or Antifa?

    Is this not par for this course?

    Do you know white opportunists were not involved in looting her store? I’ve seen lots of evidence of white opportunists

    You said you hope that white opportunists and thugs are caught. I never mentioned race. You did.

    But like, peaceful protesters should be gone home by 7 or 8 o clock..

    Civil disobedience can be peaceful. Conservatives did a load of that in April, protesting law and order to stay in quarantine. Basic first amendment stuff.

    Curfew is designed to justify, from what we’ve seen, tear gassing and shooting at nonviolent people because it’s 7:01 and not 6:59.

    I wonder how much Corona was spread yesterday during that protest?

    I was thinking about this as an added amount of deaths the cop may have caused.

    If he didn't kill the guy then no protest and less spread of the virus.

    I just took for granted you were following along and know that by and large BLM, Antifa, blacks, the protestors etc. have been blamed for the looting when there’s little clear evidence to blame all of it on one or all of these groups. I’ve even heard aiding and abetting thrown around to describe peaceful protestors who have looting happen in their area without their direct knowledge.

    Overheal said black and Asian business owners like you should claim insurance.

    He isn't a Klan member he supports the protesters.

    Easy to see the life he has had to date. He couldn't understand the pressures or losses incurred for life even with insurance.

    Reminds me of the Christy Moore song.

    He'll drive his big car and smoke his cigar, he'll never lose.

    For somebody who spends so much time on the conspiracy theory forum here making fun of people for being so easily duped by stupid theories you really have no issue lapping this type of nonsense up.

    Well your life would be a lot more destroyed if a police officer shot you or your kid or you lived in consistent fear of that happening.

    No one is saying looters or rioters aren't bad and everyone agrees they should be stopped.

    However, the priority you put on bricks and mortar over actual lives shows, at minimum, you relate or simply care more about business owners than what minorities are facing on a daily basis.

    How is this related to the instance of cops loading up looted goods into a private vehicle?

    Nothing. It has to do with that the 'peaceful protestors' are doing. Instigators is more like it for many of them which is unfortunate.

    The riots are ridiculous , the blm blaming the "white man" are ridiculous , let's burn down our city to make a point !

    Everyone was in agreement it was horrific and tragic blacks and whites alike yet select groups are trying to make it into black vs white , you ve spastics then like Billie elish and pink preaching to everyone about white privilege all whites are privileged apparently

    The whole thing has just become a joke tbh .

    Business generates revenue without that none of us have food power public services and so on.
    Loss of jobs will cause deaths.

    If this is your argument:

    40M people lost jobs last month. The dozens, even hundreds of shop fronts damaged will be a drop in the bucket. Many vandalized stores are already rebuilt from earlier in the week.

    So the damage that has been caused is inconsequential? And that is BECAUSE people already had experienced hardships due to Covid19?

    Have a look at many of my Covid 19 posts I have said the lockdown will cost lives.

    It's not an argument it is fact many businesses are already on the brink this is not going to help.

    There are reports of piles of bricks being found in many places. So you've guessed I only saw one story and assumed I made a sweeping generalization... Imagine that! (don't expect much less tbh)
