What do protesters who are looting stores have to do with George Floyd? How exactly is that helping Geoge Floyd's cause?

Riots have more to do than with this specific case. You can only ignore the serious issues citizens have for so long before they decide to push back.

This shit is inevitable as long as elected officials keep ignoring the problems

most of the people that are actually protesting dont go on to loot stores and set houses on fire, kind of defeats the point after all. this is just another instance of shit people being shit.

well, if the store owners who have guns shoot at said looters, you cant blame the store owners from defending themselves. or should they just simply let those looters take whatever they want?

Protesting is hard so going home to your freshly looted television makes it a little better.

Sure I can, because no citizen has the right in Minnesota to shoot someone over theft. And ideally no one should ever be doing that. No human life is worth material possessions

@The_Great_Muta_22 so let me get this straight....if you were a store owner in the middle of that riot, you would simply let people loot your store without doing anything? or if they tried to loot your house, you would just let them do it?

ok. What if these looters started attacking you personally? would you simply just let them attack you without defending yourself while screaming "i deserve this! i deserve this!" all the while because you are feeling white guilt over what happened to George Floyd? @Chicken @The_Great_Muta_22

There are the protesters. (Points at group of people)
There are the looters. (Points at another group of people)
Wow, I'm pointing at two different groups of people. Crazy.

I remember during the Los Angeles Riots the Korean community was armed and ready on their store fronts and roofs.

All im saying is that these looters shouldnt be surprised if store owners fight back in whatever way possible.

Did you know a lot of those looters tried attacking the store owners? What else were the store owners supposed to do when they were personally attacked? let themselves get beaten up?!

If someone was attacking me in any situation I would probably try to get away.

They rioted and looted when MLK was shot, too. It's not ruining any images. It is part of the image.

Whites have taken what they have wanted all throughout history. Go cry about a black person looting a store for a TV.
