HEY, STUPID, PROTESTING IS NOT THE SAME AS RIOTING!!!
AND, OTHER STUPID, WHO THE **** CARES ABOUT THE SKIN COLOR OF THE RIOTERS?!?!?
Anytime anyone is calling out rioters for being stupid and not really helping the cause they are supposedly there for, OBVIOUSLY they REALLY mean black people...
It's not racist to call out the rioters for being stupid. It appears racist to be outraged at the rioters while not being so outraged at the seemingly violent death of a handcuffed misdemeanor suspect in police custody.
Key word 'seemingly'
When its PROVEN that the cops did anything to intentionally harm gray then I will be outraged at the cops. As for a bunch of thugs ACTUALLY burning the city down - yeah, I will express my outrage at that - especially since most of those doing the damage will never be caught or brought to trial. Its idiots like these rioters that give black people a bad image.
The police already admitted that they ****** up. I'm sure they didn't mean to sever his spine. They didn't intend to kill him. But they did **** up. They did abuse him. And they did neglect to get him medical treatment in time to save his life.
This is where the majority of the outrage should be directed. Cars can be replaced. Buildings are insured.
"Cars can be replaced. Buildings are insured."
This is where the liberal fucktards such as yourself jump the shark with your arguments. I'd venture to guess that most, if not all, of the rioters and looters are doing so out of seeing this as nothing more than an opportunity to justify lawless behavior on their parts, with little to no chance of having to face the consequences of their actions. They're not doing it out of any sense of moral or righteous indignation about the death of a homeless guy. They're doing it for fun. And because of "strength in numbers", they know they'll likely not get caught.
And with statements such as the one I quoted above, you're giving them a free pass by trivializing their actions.
Sure, "buildings are insured". But if you're a small business owner that just had your shop burned to the ground, how long is it going to take to get your business rebuilt and up and running? How do you replace the lost income to the business and the owner in the meantime? How do the employees of said business replace their lost income in the meantime.
Yeah, let's just dismiss them with a casual "bah, insurance will take care of it" and give the lawless bastards a free pass to keep doing what they're doing.
BURN BABY, BURN!!!!
