Is this being covered on tv anywhere?

People are idiots. Hey I know what that cop did was wrong. But that doesn't give these idiots a free pass. Every state needs to have a special squad trained on arresting multiple people at once. Bust a few head if needed. I'm getting tired of this politically correct world

Apparently Minnesota pot heads are the best source for coverage.

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

You making excuses for them repeatedly doesn't change this fact.
You are the one who demanded that I answer your questions in the way that you wanted, so that you could interpret those answers as "excuses". Typical and expected.

You want me to accept that looting and burning private businesses is acceptable? Sorry, but I don't make excuses for criminal behavior as you seem to be want to.

This is your logic.

And yet you avoided answering, and only did so after repeated posts from me pressing you to give a straight answer. Why is that?

Really speaks to this country’s historical ignorance that people don’t get this. Did they think the Boston Tea Party was an actual tea party?

Kind of a stretch to categorize this as some continuation of the great American tradition of symbolic riots, isn't it?
It's run of the mill criminal activity by shitbags for the most part.

Yep- get pissed and burn down your own community. The education system has failed them.

Ah yes, because as everyone knows, the Boston tea party resulted in looting and burning the local merchants that had nothing to do with the Townsend Act.
ETA: It amazes me the backflips some people are going through to excuse what's going on in Minneapolis as justified.

I'm sure it's just coincidence that these deconstructionists are comparing petty acts of destruction and violence to revered American acts of pro-liberty disobedience...

No, it's not. I've never been angry enough to do these things. I'm not special. I'm rather average. What it tells me is that these people are predisposed to acting like idiots when the opportunity presents itself. They are not functioning adults. They are petulant children.

But you're excusing their behavior...so try to be honest here.

I asked a pointed question. You deflected, changed the subject, insulted me, etc. Why is that?
quote:

No, you didn't. You maintaining you did over and over doesn't make it so. Your post history says otherwise.

No, it's not. It's based in how you want the world to be, not how it is.

Such enlightened discourse, surely an indication of a rock solid premise.

I haven’t once justified the looting in this thread. The question was asked very early in the thread why property destruction and looting occur, and I’ve given an answer. This country has a long history in civil disobedience escalating to property destruction and looting. It’s not that hard to learn the why behind them all, and they almost all involve a group that feel marginalized fighting back against that marginalization.

LOL
Some of these people have the IQ of a dog. They would rob, burn, and loot on any given weekend if given the chance.
And here we have the virtual signaling tards out defending them because it’s for the cause.

I'm sure you can point out where said property destruction and looting was completely decoupled from the issue they were rioting against, as in the case this week.
