After everything that just one poster has said in this thread, you're going to tut-tut to me about a GIF being in poor taste?

It's a serious question. No trolling involved.

And any discussions I have with posters, won't be run past you. first.

I hate to be a kill joy, but the article did not say that he had a pistol.

That man -- who was in his 20s -- died in the store, police said. The other men ran off. Police found a handgun by the dead man that the owner said does not belong to his shop. Investigators believe the burglars brought that with them.

An injured person turned up at Jefferson University Hospital, which investigators said could be connected to this. The person was shot in shoulder.

So are we saying the shop owner should have welcomed them inside and let them help themselves ?

Now that is some serious trolling there.

Also, "they brought that [pistol] with them" sure seems like a curious and rather clumsy way of saying "the looters were armed", doesn't it?

I don’t want to celebrate it, but there is a certain justice in a person defending his property from criminals.

Well there are 134,000 gang members living in Chicago. I would guess that many if not most of them were participating in looting. LTG says that about 20 percent of the population lives in poverty. I don't think they all are looting, but many of them were.

I don't know how many protesters were committing crimes, or how many there were. But we know that out of town agitators were coming in just to fight with the police.

Your evidence that he didn't have a pistol is the part of the article that said the looters were armed with the pistol they found, and said pisol was found specifically next to the dead guy? K.

Yet you can't even guess the percentage. How strange.

No, I put the legit rioting and looting and destruction on the busloads of specialists who come into town to assimilate into planned protests, start spray painting shit all over, break some windows start some fires blow some shit up then get all up in the cops' faces and antagonize them to help set off aggression in pushing back and/or disseminating crowds, at which points MANY others there who have noble intentions at first don't wanna be the sucker who doesn't get free shit when giant #s of people running around are essentially getting group immunity to loot + pillage cuz at this point every [guess which side?] politician involved doesn't wanna be the one who literally/figuratively "unleashes the dogs" on these giant crowds to try and get them out.

I feel bad because real people are having their grief anxiety fear and etc used by "organized" units I'd agitators who come in and do their damndest to set up any mass gathering of ppl into a looting mob, at which point like I said before you dont wanna be the schmuck out there not getting free Mike's while everyone else is, even tho the first (proverbial) shot was fired by a likely linky white boy in all black with walkie talkies and a wad of cash.

My question is like, when you find a pallet of unwrapped bricks just chilling on a street in downtown/ish Dallas how did they get there? Some true believers say the police themselves help set all this stuff up, but I find that a bit hard to believe. I'd conjecture the pallets of bricks show up via people with a $$$VESTED$$$ interest in having shit kick off as much as possible to, probably, give 5he corpse formerly known as Joe Biden any chance of winning in November simply cuz of the ANYONE BUT ORANGE MAM vote.

But then you lurk your chans + other places and see ppl prattling on about how this next presidential election is THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION EVER (since 5he last one anyways) cuz it's gonna set up the shape of the country for the next 40yrs. Cuz look at everything around you marvel at all the ,$$$ pumping thru city centres and whatnot and remember, the ppl who create/own/maintain that are REALLY controlled by you and your vote for coke or Pepsi in the great and bountiful beverage election. Even tho we need a nice glass of water, health wise, it's like you have no choice but to only pick flavors of soda. Either way you're always gonna drink soda and identify yourself as a field marshall in the coca cola people's army (or an operative in the pepsi generation)

Aren't MANY of these gang membsrs involved in protecting their neighborhood business from outside-the-area looters? You hear about the Latin Kings doing it in pilsen + little village + etc. PLUS don't you figure most decent gang membersake more money off of selling drugs than looting CVS or Target? Methinks you'd wanna take advantage of all the hoopla and sell a lot of drugs at this juncture with the police legit busy elsewhere, but hey what do I know? I almost need to loot my local Ross's dress for less cuz COVIDmania running wild has fucked up my annual work shoes + shorts + shirts + socks purchases, and of course i'm.mad send hurt and my grief needs an outlet, preferably an outlet store!

_________________

And btw outside of representing the community / neighborhood / etc don't you think another reason gangs are doing this is so next time they make a quick lil drug exchange by a neighborhood store the owner/s are less likely to call the cops on that remembering who was there when they REALLY needed and the cops were busy protecting downtown + mayor's house (around 75/night I hear) and other high political / capital areas?

No, it's the other three letter poster who gets proven wrong by his own sources.

The guy was trying to return a gun, but went to the wrong shop at the wrong time and he got killed. Not a pretty picture.

Was that just internet rumor I saw or is it true that MANY of these bricks are made by a company owned by our very own billionaire governor?

Come on LTG, stop that. Everyone is agreeing with the cop killed him and he should go to jail along with the other three.
The State now is doing the prosecution. His brother is asking for peace,everyone is ignoring him. What is going on is wrong. This country had a chance how ever brief to really come together and do something positive and enact change. And then the dumb asses showed up.

Yea you had police doing the kneeling routine and trying to level with the protesters. It gave way to more rioting and burning. The divide at this point is pretty much calcified.
