It is racist to hold people accountable for their actions now

The lawyer for a Philadelphia looter known as "Meatball" who livestreamed herself following a mob breaking into stores says criticism of her client is racist.

Dayjia Blackwell, 21, filmed and followed a mob of looters as they broke into a series of stores last week, including at least an Apple store and a Lululemon. Blackwell broadcasted the incident to her 181,000 followers on Instagram, and police arrested her for encouraging the incident.

"It sickens me to witness the media's complicity in what can only be described as an all-out assault on black and brown people, as their character and actions are mercilessly vilified," Blackwell's lawyer, Jessica Mann, wrote on Friday, going on to accuse police of posting Blackwell's mugshot "with tears streaming down her face and her hair a mess to satisfy your need to get ‘clicks’ and to sell a salacious story."

Just curious, is it against the law to video people breaking in and looting stores? If she did not participate in the looting, does that really rise to criminal behavior?

When will we ever learn that most people do not need an audience? The average dumbass gets into enough trouble with his or her handful of shite friends cheering them on. The ability to instantly broadcast your idiocy to tens of thousands of cheering strangers is not something the average person needs to possess.

Everything is racist to some, especially if it gets them out of jail.

Black and brown people, why do they always want to try to include Mexicans with them? The Mexicans that I know don’t want a damn thing to do with people like “meatball”.

I would suggest eliminating the processed carbs, seed oils and refined sugar in her diet.

Also, intermittent fasting, a carnivore diet and sprint training would help her eliminate the visceral fats that are making her unhealthy.

Here's the biggest WTF of this story:
quote:

Six businesses in a single retail corridor of North Philadelphia were looted, including three pharmacies, a hair salon, a tax preparation company and a cellphone store, according to the North 22nd Street Business Corridor, a business group.

What did they think they would steal here? Future identity theft racket?

How obvious does the race grift have to be before people stop bending over for it?

She doesn’t even realize that her client was striving for clicks which led to her arrest.

The whole world is going fricking nuts. One of my Doc’s told me my blood pressure this AM as 167/104. I’ve had enough.
