Agree.

I worked in the book industry as well. Burn every retail store. All books should be free and in the public domain.

Used book stores exempt of course cause they have the books no one wants but you. How they would operate in a society without money I don't know but I need the used book store smell to continue to exist.

That's fair, luckily our local used bookstore is literally underground and can totally bunker down.

No. They've all got to be burned to ashes in order to maintain true anarchistic integrity.

I dont get it anymore is this a protest/riot against African American and minority racism "anyone not Caucasian"

or is this now a riot against small and big retail chains ..???? like autozone target mom and pop stores etc etc etc

if the protesters are fighting for the first cause shouldn't they only target police and military and government buildings ..????

OccultHawk 05-31-2020 09:18 PM

It almost seems like a lot of people are just plain and simple sick of this ****ing country

Imagine that

They aren't smart or organized enough to target the IRS. I guess they went for CNN because of the bright colors or something. They know Trump lives in the White House cause they saw it on TV, so kudos on them for trying to show up there. But that's why most of the rioters are hitting up and busting into the mom n pop stores even though a lot of these businesses are owned by black people. Especially in Atlanta and Minneapolis.

Frownland 05-31-2020 09:24 PM

Ja the instigators who are trying to get people to define these protests as violent riots aren't smart enough to target a place that would actually lead to anything changing. You'd think if they were going for violence they'd actually, yaknow, commit some violence instead of damaging property.

Norg 05-31-2020 09:31 PM

same kinda concept

look at the people of Syria there government was killing them so they tried a peaceful protest but once bullets were fired they took up arms and formed the FSA

but then other groups came in and had different agendas and alliances it became a melting pot

the problem with the American people they would have to go up against a world SUPERPOWER

I think the only thing that would support the American people would be CHina Russia and the latin bloc but they would only do it for the own gain and agenda

but for me things are not that bad in USA to really be against the government I mean there prob are a lot worst places to live like eastern Europe or central asia …. ?

shouldn't people drive to the elite rich areas and burn down that community ???

In a fascist capitalist state the poor don’t have anything to burn down.

They don’t own those shops. Big or small. Small businesses do not pay living wages. Property damage is always justified because property is theft.

If MLK had a crystal ball and saw 2020 he would’ve said kill every white person you can.

Frownland 05-31-2020 10:01 PM

I've heard from the right that the left defines nonviolent action as violent to justify responding to that action in a violent way without blame. Something to remember when those same people say that any disruptive activity is violent.

The concept of peaceful protest is just a way to defang protests to the point of inefficacy, that's why it's clarified that way in the constitution. No government understands what threatens its existence like a newfound revolutionary government.

Yeah, but you still have millions of people in this country from diverse economic and racial backgrounds who fundamentally disagree with the idea of neighborhoods of working class people being burnt down when the people doing the burning down have no grand master plan to remake society into something better than what currently exists.

Violence should be used expertly. They could learn a thing or two from the CIA.

A logical and moral baseline as good as any other.

You guys catch the cop who was breaking **** and got outed as a cop?

**** is ****ing fishy.

In Utah it's alleged that some bald white guy with an 88 on his shirt instigated the police. Either way, seeing Salt Lake tagged up like this was surreal.
