There is an incredible injustice here, and the looting is no bigger injustice than the fundamental, organisational racism on display, and this serves to highlight that.

You're forgetting that many people who suffer from looting are small business owners who's livelihoods are in those businesses. Multimillion dollar tycoons are not the only people who this effects.


I think small business owners should just do shoot on sight for any looters. Like the rooftop koreans in the 90's.

If you think mass produced consumer goods are worth more than human life, you might be dealing with a severe case of ideology.

None. Which makes it awesome so you can blast any nefarious Serbian War song and they won't know the lyrics to it so they won't be able to call it racist or bigoted.

As recorded in the video, the man was murdered. The Archbishop of Minneapolis offered a Mass for his soul yesterday.

How can you justify this man dying?

There’s no way to justify this murder, and the people who committed it need to be held accountable. That being said, it doesn’t excuse the rioting, protests, etc. during a pandemic. Destroying a police precinct is uncalled for, especially considering the department’s response to the murder. However taking an innocent life is also uncalled for, and these 4 officers involved should be punished.

A pandemic, when people are out of work and struggling to make ends-meet for lack of government assistance, is a great time for some looting.

That's not related. There's a clear consensus forming that the police officer should be charged. I see the causation for looting, but looting isn't a recourse to someone's death. Justice, if it even can be, will be found in the law, not in burning unrelated businesses and throwing even more people out of work in the community.

But they destroyed a lot of Iraqi private property and killed thousands of Iraqi civilians. The fact that it was an "organized, professional army" doing it kinda makes it even worse, if you ask me. The Korean rooftop shooters chose the lesser rooftops, imo.

I am laying down the facts. This isn't a war the rioters are fighting in any way, but ridiculous violence of their own making.

Probably yes. Also people in these kinds of situations have to make split second decisions.
