Fight the power... By burning down poor peoples homes 🤔
I for one would like to see some police brutality visited upon mr "cash" below

Among the casualties of the overnight fires: a six-story rental building under construction that was to provide nearly 200 apartments of affordable housing.

“We’re burning our own neighborhood,” said a distraught Deona Brown, a 24-year-old woman standing with a friend outside the precinct station, where a small group of protesters were shouting at a dozen or so stone-faced police officers in riot gear. “This is where we live, where we shop, and they destroyed it.”

“What that cop did was wrong, but I’m scared now,” Ms. Brown said.

Others in the crowd saw something different in the wreckage.

Protesters destroyed property “because the system is broken,” said a young man who identified himself only by his nickname, Cash, and who said he had been in the streets during the violence. He dismissed the idea that the destruction would hurt residents of the largely black neighborhood.

“They’re making money off of us,” he said angrily of the owners of the destroyed stores. He laughed when asked if he had joined in the looting or violence. “I didn’t break anything.”

At least try providing an example that validates your point before trying to take the moral high ground.


You keep defaulting back to morals, and I'm saying I have never been talking about that. I've never tried to justify anything, or claim the high ground anywhere. You're projecting so hard.

Fuck Antifa.

There's an incredible amount of white 'allies' co-opting these protests about George Floyd's death so to just break shit, in cities they don't live in, and with consequences they won't have to endure.

Antifa is trash.
Antifa is for white people.
Antifa is racist.

So your argument is "loot private businesses in order to teach the police a lesson"? That's like me holding you accountable and lighting your house/apartment/etc on fire because someone killed my cousin 3 states over.


Put it this way: each time the cops kill another citizen, does most of the public and the businesses that fund campaigns call up their legislators and demand change? No, they don't. So by our collective inaction in addressing this problem, we are collectively responsible for the fallout.

How do you know the business owner's didn't call their legislators and demand change? Without knowing this and still looting their store would make you just like a "bad cop" that wrongfully targets someone without a shred of evidence. I mean, I guess your "an eye for an eye" logic is valid, but that would make you just like them.
