Yes, actually it is.

Regardless, when the looters are targeting charities like the Ronald McDonald House in Chicago, they give up all pretense of righteousness.

So if the federal government were to issue formal reparations tomorrow, would value of looted goods be deducted from the looters' cut?

Because if the answer is 'no,' then their looting is not reparations. Its just theft.

What about the small businesses? Or the employees of big businesses with all the windows smashed and the store in disarray? Days off for repairs? Do they deserve to suffer just so that some naive "revolutionaries" can feel empowered? Reprecussions go both ways. Do you destroy your neighborhood to "save" it, or someone else's neighborhood? Do people live in a fantasy world where everyone's actions are accountible but theirs? Yes. Haha.

If you're moderately successful in any endeavor you should be ashamed of yourself. All of your assets should be given away to those who are less fortunate.

Plenty of small businesses that had suffered damages and been looted were owned by minorities (including black people) or employed them.
And some of these business had no choice but to shut down because of damages and repeated harassment...

Pro-looting "activists" are just actively trying to line their pockets and engage in malicious intent during a period where local law enforcement is struggling. They don't actually care about saving anyone besides themselves and are just using politics as an excuse to get free loot. But it's not free, not for the small businesses that had to fund the merchandising and the employees who lost an income during a fucking pandemic.

Looters during this crisis are selfish assholes. They are not heroes of any kind.

Their fucked. Outside of the ones who've created no go zones their only option now is to flee. The mayor, politicians, media and subsequently the police are all on the rioters side.

City should have called the national guard immediately to put these rioters down now look at what they've caused.

It's sad. Police reform needs addressing and needs to happen, but if you fight fire with fire, then there's nothing left to fight for. If winning is total destruction, then I don't want to win.

Is your expectation that they have control over literally everyone that represents them? Having that expectation is only proof you want them to fail at everything.

It's called 'strength in numbers'. Which the rioters and CHAZ have used to great affect. And others as well either to protect their establishments or suburbs.

And the police are controlled by the mayor....who's on which side again?

Weird. To Fox News she's a "leader". But everywhere else she's an "activist" or an "organizer".

Fox wouldn't make her sound like a way more important person just to make BLM look bad....would they?

Stop using Fox News as a source bruh.

Let's assume I'm wrong and she is just an activist and not a leader of the movement. Fair, but you know that Fox isn't the only network that spins its stories to promote its agenda by a long shot.

I put everything in quotations. I do realize that. I don't believe any of it. Any time I use news from any source like that, Im hoping somebody corrects me and gives me better information with more depth in information. I don't have beliefs, I just have a current perspective waiting to be updated.

But Fox News is way more blatant with false narratives. It's insulting to its viewers.

I got your point and I know that Fox News is not 100% accurate because probably 100% media, news are influenced by polical parties in some way. Like you will never see CNN writes anything good about Trump or Republican party in general, or Fox News on how good Democrat or BLM movement is.
It is up to each person to choose and verify the news they read themselves from both sides.

BLM needs to push her out quick. She's the epitome of problematic to the cause. You can't do anything about it before it happens, but you sure as hell can after.

Each newspaper supports their own party, but in my opinion Fox News is the least bias one out of all, you don't see the amount of mocking, shitposting toward other party like CNN did to Trump or Republican party in general. You can still see normal news about both polical parties on Fox News but you won't never see CNN writes any news that hurts Democrat party. Very much all of their news are over-exaggerating and inaccurate af. You can literally go check them out and compare between to see.

I mean these articles were true at least, you need check the source and their evidence on other news to confirm. Do you even go to CNN and check out on how much shit they exaggerate and cut out "context" just to shit on other side?

Not defending CNN . Just saying Fox is a lot worse

And going "Kamala Harris is a phoney anarchist who wants to kill your children!....... claims prominent Republican senator " is "true" but you're being intentionally intellectually dishonest if you pretend it's not biased to mislead and present a narrative

And they do it all day every day for right wing talking points, knocking Democrats, protesters, abortion while passionately defending Republicans, religion etc

I mean while assuming Fox is wrong, you should do fact check and research on what they write about. You can go to CNN and see worse, they cut, edit out context and dialogue and assume everything about Trump, Republican. You will never see the full context when you just read from 1 source and never do research after...
