Walmart can recover, but if they're in a minority community they may not. Then they'll scream racism

Shitty people

As was pointed out in a reply on Twitter, if all cops are responsible for all other cops and the whole "few bad apples spoils the bunch" arguement, then the same can be said for the looters and protesting correct?

Secondly, I guess we can stop the reperations discussion now.

---

Imagine if these places don't have stores anymore. You'll have to drive the next city over to buy food.

---

Oh no I feel so bad, not like Walmart has intentionally destroyed uncountable businesses, stolen billions in taxpayer money, and ruined countless lives or anything.

---

It's a fucking Wal-Mart, not mom and pop's grocery store. I bet insurance already paid out.

Oh yeah because the looters are definitely part of a heavily tax-funded organization that they signed up and trained for and is (ostensibly) meant to protect society like the police am I right.

Also, *reparations

Its amazing how many people dont realize how this impacts people who might work there, much less the total lack of civilization exhibited by the looters but instead jump to lOlz walmurt will be fine JUSTICE!!!

Or people think a phrase like life is more valuable than property gives full blown impunity to everyone who just broke in and stole shit that doesnt belong to them.

Like what have they done with schools

Nope, False equivalency. "Good" cops are not good if they support bad cops being safe from consequences. But "the same logic" does not apply to protesters/looters, and should not, and pretending it does indicates that's you're not arguing in good faith.

The thing is, what about the people who work there? They are more than likely not millionaires. They are going to have to clean this shit up. That is if they even go back to work soon or ever. The store could be shut down for days or longer while they get all the ducks in a row and go with a reopen plan. Walmart employs a lot of people that could be out of work for a time. Not to mention the risk of losing a lot of perishable goods.

Then the matter of how the store will operate from now on.

I knew some people had a few screws loose here, but they've really shown their true colors in light of recent events. They really just want to see the world burn.

All this time I thought thieves were supposed to be looked down on?

Like let me steal a $100,000 in merch?

I wouldn't get the same support.

---

shocking amount of white supremacists in that video

can't believe what this damn country has come to
---

looters of peace and racial equality.

---

poor Walmart

More trash, trashing a good movement.

This. Their opposition are only going to keep referencing this video in the future and use it to slander black people and honestly it's hard to argue against it in this case because the large majority of the looting criminals in that video are black.

Seriously. If they had any self respect and actually cared for the cause they wouldn't be looting, or at least not targeting businesses that help sustain lower income communities like Walmart. I have a feeling this is going to end up biting them on the ass and I every single one of them deserve it.

Actually each Walmart costs taxpayers around half a million dollars each year. This is without even mentioning all the wage theft and the supply companies they intentionally put out of business.

In 2015, the six Waltons on the Forbes 400 list were worth $136.1 billion, making them the richest family in the United States. They have more wealth than 43% of American families combined. Their net worth is nearly equal to the combined wealth of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. The Waltons wealth comes from their inherited, controlling stake in Walmart. While Walmart workers live in poverty, the Waltons rake in billions every year from the company in dividends and sales of their Walmart shares.

Tax Payers literally Pay the Waltons so they can under cut their employees and that is fine. But this is where people get upset.

Also Ice Cube got it covered .

This is like a rich parent offering to pay for something when their kid destroyed your shit. It doesn't excuse the behavior.

Havent you guys stopped to think about WHY they feel they need to do this in the first place? Like for real, the financial gap between poor blacks and everyone else is so wide that they feel their only hope and opportunity to get a piece of the pie that gets flaunted in front of them on a daily basis is at a time like this during a riot

This is what society created. This is what marketing created. They made us a society of wants, flashed that shit in front of us, made us insecure about not having it, dangling it in front of us just out of reach, even more so for the poorer black people. then now they are surprised when people get their one chance to finally get they take it?

Yall really defending these big time corporations and shit who dont even put in their fair share and avoid paying taxes as much as possible. Who constantly have governments using taxpayer money to cover their shit too on top of that? They have insurance and its about time too these insurance companies pay up too, scammer mf who try their best to get out of covering you even when you pay them yearly.

Then you have these same goofy ass corporations acting like theyre an ally. Companies like Nike (pains me to admit this cos I love their shoes) who use cheap exploitative labor for their sales speaking out against slavery of the past? For a long time had no issues with people killing and fighting each other for their shoes because of the reasons I mentioned above. Who to this very fucking day, still dont release their jordans on a wide scale because if everyone could easily have then they wont been as sought out after that people kill and rob each other over them? Fuck outta here bruh.

Some people say that you have to pick a side, but this isn't true. I found it quite possible to not join either side, but to clutch pearls over the relatively inoffensive actions of another.

Posts like these "fuck billionaire, fuck waltons, insurance pays for it" fail to realize how the real world works.

The more insurance companies (owned by the same billionaires you hate) have to pay out $100k checks the more the buck is gonna get passed on to the common man. Meaning, the rich guys aren't having to sell their boats, your insurance premiums and costs of things go up at Wal-Mart and Target.

Nah. The way the majority of those people are acting out of greed and selfishness is downright criminal and they are only setting a bad example and making things worse for the BLM movement. I've got nothing against the color of their skin. If the majority of them were of any other ethnicity I'd say similar things.
