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.

I mean black live matters but the BLM movement has gone too far. All you see on CNN last couple month is how justice BLM protest is and how they are encouraging protest to defend black live but there are many black people got killed and their business got loot, destroyed in the rioting around the US, do you see any article defending small business and many innocent people who got killed during the rioting in Minneapolis, LA, DC, Chicago,... on CNN that are against Antifa and BLM movement?
How it is justified when CNN and Democrat encourage large gathering and BLM protesting past months while close all small business down and put entrepreneurs in jail? How come they ban people to express their freedom of religion and close all the churches around the US while ignore all the peaceful rioting is currently happening. It kinda makes no sense to me when the Democrat is going both way like that. You either open and allow everything or close and ban everything :v

I guess they are doing this shit so the economy will go down and they can just blame everything on Trump's administration lmao

Thinking your objectively biased media source is less biased than things like APNews or Reuters which do not allow opinion pieces and are the source for most other news companies' (including FOX) stories isn't an opinion. It's just willful ignorance at best.

being a little more nice about it @Pkmas1702 this is right.

if you really care about this stuff you should def check multiple sources, and honestly as many sources as you can. You should also actually check the sources within each source. And most importantly, unless youre just interested in entertaining or gaining a very base level starting point to look into a story, you shouldnt look at either CNN or Fox. Theres so many sources out there and yet the main focus is always CNN vs Fox. Like, its a reflection of the fact that our society is so entrenched in tribalism that they've willingly blinded themselves.

Got it, thanks, there are always more things to learn and improve everyday :D

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.

Ronald McDonald is a symbol of corporate greed. Taking reparations from his house is striking a blow against capitalism.

Lol, no it wasn't.

Agreed. America was built on the unpaid and underpaid labor of all working people in the country. We should all be unreasonably and viciously angry. Its our fucking birth right.

But there's no time for that now. Somewhere, a novelty hot dog stand might exist, and it may have to replace its windows. Its just not the time for justice. Take a seat, young Skywalker.
