That's what happens when you treat a section of the population like trash. It will have repercussions.

 

[aussiefarmer]

So true , plenty of innocent peoples lively hoods smashed in senseless looting.

 

[Reg Wilson]

aussiefarmer, so a healthy society would see this sort of mayhem?

 

[Simmo]

I would love, a socio-economic demographic done on who actually did this......
There must be cameras around?
I'll shut up now....

 

[aussiefarmer]

Yeah I get the why but it's the wrong way , I would bet my balls some of those businesses were owned by African Americans and most were owned by non racists.
It's the law makers and political powers that should have been targeted, running out a broken window with a 50 inch tv doesn't solve anything.
Senseless destruction and looting isn't going to sway people away from racism, but it will defiantly make racists believe their own ******** ideas and grow their internal hate even more.
The message would have been just as powerful if the huge protest crowds had of sat quietly around every police station , court house , government building and key location , seeing the large numbers of white and black people marching together is by far some of the most powerful footage I have seen and surely unity and change for a better future should be the message.
My gut feels most people looting , burning and destroying business houses aren't trying to make a better future they are just using a free ticket to be pricks.

Yes Simmo,we all know the truth,but we shut up.
One day soon,those that do not,will come to realize,what this all about.
I will say no more, the button will get pressed!!!

i can see this getting canned very quick

and yes if you watch TV ACA there was a lot of African Americans shops and buisnesses that were destroyed
It is done by a few that are nothing but trouble makers be it both white and black
Unless they are trashing peoples lively hood just so they can loot
I have no time for people that do this so YES bring out the spray and rubber bullets and sort some of these people out

The dumb things ;

Police who didnt yet quite grasp the reason for the riots caught on video bashing kids .

Police shooting at peaceful protesters with rubber bullets at head height which as far as i know is illegal (supposed to be aimed at legs)

Police dressed as protesters filmed smashing shop windows to encourage looting , possibly at stores which didnt pay protection money ?

The good things ;

National Guard joining Protesters in dancing doing the macarena in the streets.

more dancing would be good right now :brokenh:

Theres a lot of sense in that last post AF. Definitely the wrong way to go about it and definitely reinforcing a racist persons view of see, I told you they are all like that.

Just makes the divide even bigger

I have that mentioned elsewhere...Do you have any links to any actual evidence for it?

Thanks,

Interesting that during the riots many black people were performing citizen arrests on white people who were smashing things and trying to stir up trouble, plenty of videos to prove it. Also rumours of a certain organisation having pallets of bricks delivered to street corners for errr you know what.

The people who were looting and destroying things are nothing but criminals, anyone with any intelligence can see that.

So many sad stories of black people who owned businesses that were destroyed by other black people. Seems to me that race and colour are of little consequence these days, it boils down more to either good or bad people and selective outrage.

not everything that happens is to make a political point. That's such bull oop: Reg ! Looters are criminals and will take advantage of any situation weather it is natural disaster or civil war or a protest. They are the last people who care or have any empathy about others or there struggles. Do you think the people that shot this retired police officer who tried to protect a friends buisness were only doing because of unjust treatment or were they just scum bags ?

Not to mention the copper in London that disguised himself as a lampost so he could throw a colleague [jilted lover] from her horse.
