So all the people out looting today, to include the myriad of white males participating, are doing so out of racist/sexist oppression?
No, I actually said that the anger is toward people like you who believe the underlying issues are insignificant.

You sidestepped my question. Again.

What underlying issues are causing the people currently out looting and destroying private property to do so?

Hell I'll even spot you the racial oppression piece for the african americans. That still doesn't explain all the white people I see looting and burning.

Business owners should be able to defend their property from opportunists who only want to steal while hiding behind seeking "social justice", without fear of arrest.

I think racism is a relatively insignificant issue in 2020. It's the invisible boogeyman that largely does not exist much anymore.

Saw a tweet about bricks being thrown onto the interstate from an overpass. I hope it isn't true.

Should. But can't. Defend your property and you will go to jail. All you can really do is run away like a good little white boy.

I did not. I have answered your question(s) in both broad and specific ways.

Are you asking me for the motives of individual rioters? That's an impossible question. The reason for the riot is clear, and that's yet another bad look from a police officer. Once kicked off, though, people in large groups do not act rationally. History and common sense tell us this.

White people can't be oppressed? White people can't support black people who are oppressed?

But I don't even think it's the oppression specifically. Like I said, that is expected and unavoidable. IMO, for the 3rd or 4th time now, the worse problem is people like you who don't think it's a significant problem. People who not only don't oppose it, but who vilify those who respond (however irrationally) once they've had enough.

Can't you just accept that people live different lives than you and experience different things? That they are treated differently than you? That their opinions and concerns are not heard? Hell, the woman who shot the main video of the arrest is an example of this. For several minutes she reported to police officers that there was a man who needed help, who couldn't breathe, who might die soon, and not only did they not "protect and serve", but they continued doing the thing that was causing harm.

I think there is a not insignificant fraction of the population that would disagree.

Because race pimps constantly promote it. I haven't seen a single shred of evidence that the Minnesota incident was racially motivated either.

That’s hilarious. Guy hosting it is smoking weed and switching around between live feeds and scanners.

Am I the last one to realize that Chauvin and the victim both worked security at the same club at the same time?

WTF?

How noble of you to assume I haven't faced adversity, discrimination, concerns that went unheeded.

Yet not once during any of that did I feel the need to loot and burn private businesses in my community that are in no way connected to the issues I faced.

There's a reason why in a city of a million people, only a few thousand at most are doing this. It has nothing to do with their "adversity" and everything to do with them being pieces of shite.

You making excuses for them repeatedly doesn't change this fact.
