Those poor businesses.

Looks like business owners just shot three looters. 2 dead and 1 injured.

No charges filed at current.

I wasn't joking, but I'm now very curious about what kind of consequences you think I would have to deal with if I was joking and lived in America. Do capitalists patrol the internet and hunt down anyone who isn't sufficiently respectful of businesses?

How awful for you all. I'll talk to George Soros about organising a refugee caravan out of America.

Are these people genuinely trying to protect businesses? Maybe they are accelerationists taking advantage of the situation.

It warms my heart to see children on these forums praising a person's livelihood go up in flames to "stick it to the man" and "fuck with capitalism." Who cares about the owners who worked hard to become self-sufficient only to be reduced back to the reduced place they rose above - the crab bucket must be appeased!

The shooter. He was with a libertarian group that wanted to both protect protestors and businesses but evidently learned you can't do both.

Burning businesses, especially during these times, is a bit of a cunt move. Plenty of ways to express how pissed off you are that don’t involve fucking over the livelihoods of innocent people.

From the cops and/or rioters, probably.

I would love to see one of these "militias" protecting protesters from the cops, but they sure as fuck don't.

I don’t know much about this guy’s pro BLM libertarian group but I imagine it’s slightly more difficult to protect anyone when people are charging your ass.

Are there not videos going around showing the shooter and other militia types hanging out with the cops?

Because that's supposedly what these people are all about. "Second Amendent", "don't tread on me", "water the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants."

But when they have an opportunity, they reveal what they truly are: bootlickers.

He ran off to the cops and apparently got a lot of support from them but from what I've gathered their stated goal was explicitly pro-BLM and pro-business. It's fucking weird and the whole situation is a mess.
