I was watching the subhuman bipeds r**ting last night as they rampaged through downtown Chicago. As things seemed to be quieting down, CBS cut to a shot of Central Camera on fire. L**ters had smashed their way into the store and had set it on fire after stealing what they could grab.
Another camera store gone due to hooligan stupidity.

Protesters here in Fayetteville decided to try to burn down the "Market House" which was a building that back in the day housed the town hall on the upper floor and the lower floor was a market. S***es were sold there and for that reason the protesters decided it should be burned down. They didn't succeed but they did cause damage. The person trying to start the fire managed to set himself on fire in the process. The fire department refused to respond and the police were told not to interfere. Then the l**ting of stores started and then proceeded to another part of town where a Walmart was l**ted and trashed. Now 18 Walmarts in and around Fayetteville are closed until further notice.

Troops from Ft Bragg are on stand by to deploy to to Minnesota but were not called to handle the city that sits right next to it.

What has all this l**ting, protesting and burning accomplished.....damaged property, loss of property and a lot of bad feelings. The G****e F***d incident has given unruly people license to do as they please with no concern for getting caught and having to pay for their crimes.

The store owners and the other citizens will be the ones to pay to repair the damage and in some cases like your camera store they may not be able to recover all because certain people feel they can do as they please.

This is another sad day for the USA.

Yes.

Unbelievable that people are like that.
We keep getting closer to one of those nasty futuristic movies.

And they don't get it.

So sorry for your city.

There is a very solid reason for all that is happening. You totally don’t get it. Not saying that r**ting is the best thought out or well planned tactic. But I am saying that the very solid reason behind it all is VASTLY greater than the level of mayhem that you are seeing. Your unawareness of that vastness is why you totally don’t get it. Concern over such things as another camera store gone is mindfukkinly d********g. The mayhem is not at all disproportionate to the problem. It’s not well thought out or organized, but it is no way larger than the problem that causes it. Chicago Camera ? Seriously ???? You got no clue. ZEEEEEROH clue. THAT is what is actually sad. Other comments of “sad” in this thread are chicken schidt.

Wrong-o, bubbula - the protestors have every right to march and speak etc. The scumbags affiliated with A****A who arrive from other states to take advantage of the (rightful) anger and emotional rawness just in order to steal and cause mayhem all need to be taken out back and shot. Period. Even the original protestor want these s**tstains gone.

It seems that you possibly support the r**ting, burning, and l**ting?

What is this solid reason that we seem to be unaware that supports those peoples actions?

So would you care to clue us in?

Protests are one thing. Americans have the right to disagree and protest.
R**ting is quite another thing.
Pillaging and burning is the extreme and should not be tolerated.

More protesting, l**ting and vandalizing is scheduled for tonight and they are coming up the main road that my neighborhood is attached to. Supposedly they are only going to l**t and vandalize the richer neighborhoods but I'm sure they won't stop there. I fully expect slashed tires and broken windows because of these protests.

They have lost sight of the reason for the protest. Burning, l**ting and vandalizing does not solve the problem; it only makes it worse.

Oie.
I'm 20 miles out in the suburbs of Philly, an AT&T phone store near me was broken into last night.
Stay safe.

500% reject that “wrong-o”.

As to the outsiders magnifying the mayhem, yes I’m with you 100%. For every ill there are always such forces waiting to make things worse. But even the magnified mayhem is far less virulent than the underlying deeeeeep rooted causational “invisibilized” problem. “Problem” is way too weak a word.

The very situation that they pounce upon and inflame is always ready to explode and the outside forces have a rather easy job of it. “The situation” has name: that name is R****M. R****m is a continuous situation, not just clear cut “newsworthy” events. Overtly r****t acts are hardly the whole of the actual monster that is r****m. Even the most overt r****t acts are barely the “hairs on its chin”.

The monster is so ubiquitous, so omnipresent, that it’s not limited to specific very visible evil individuals. It’s systemic to the whole of America. It has a cloak of invisibility such that folks with no ill will are nevertheless blindly coopted into perpetuating it. That is the essence of the cluelessness that I speak of. It’s a comfortable form of blindness.

I am not raging at clueless folks to “be good”, as many or most folks do their best at that. I am raging that it’s not sufficient to “be good” when you’re also clueless. I’m not asking “be good”. I’m asking “get a clue” ... and for real.

News reports I've seen only reference "l**ters, protestors, ...", not male, not green, ...

However, too many comments I see keep referencing race. Who all besides those commenters is pulling the race card?

You post is r****t. If you would educate yourself you would find that the protesters and the l**ters are different groups with different motivations.
