Looting: Legitimate Political Protest?
Canada Free Press ^ | 10/12/15 | Matthew Vadum

#BlackLivesMatter "Professor" Deray Mckesson maintains looting serves social and racial justice

Looting is a great way to advance the increasingly violent, racist Black Lives Matter movement, an agitator is teaching students after being rewarded by the Left with a teaching gig at prestigious Yale University.

The words of Twitter star Deray Mckesson expose for the umpteenth time the lie that Black Lives Matter, whose members idolize unrepentant cop killers Mumia abu Jamal and Assata Shakur, is a law-abiding, peaceful movement and that those who loot and riot in its name are a fringe or unrelated element. Lawless violence and bloody insurrection are how Mckesson and his followers pursue their vision of so-called social justice.

Mckesson led a class that was discussing, “In Defense of Looting,” an essay by Willie Osterweil whose bio at the New Inquiry website describes him as “a writer, editor, and member of the punk band Vulture #.”

Black Lives Matter is the new Black Panthers. They are increasingly dangerous and destructive and this time around, get the full support of the federal government. We have never been in such serious racial trouble as we are right now and there is no relief in sight.

We should give “Professor” Mackesson the biggest microphone we can find. Everyone should hear this so they can understand where #BlackLivesMatters really wants to take things.

I do not think that illegal plunder, such as theft or swindling — which the penal code defines, anticipates, and punishes — can be called socialism. It is not this kind of plunder that systematically threatens the foundations of society. Anyway, the war against this kind of plunder has not waited for the command of these gentlemen. The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. Long before the Revolution of February 1848 — long before the appearance even of socialism itself — France had provided police, judges, gendarmes, prisons, dungeons, and scaffolds for the purpose of fighting illegal plunder. The law itself conducts this war, and it is my wish and opinion that the law should always maintain this attitude toward plunder.

But it does not always do this. Sometimes the law defends plunder and participates in it. Thus the beneficiaries are spared the shame, danger, and scruple which their acts would otherwise involve. Sometimes the law places the whole apparatus of judges, police, prisons, and gendarmes at the service of the plunderers, and treats the victim — when he defends himself — as a criminal. In short, there is a legal plunder, and it is of this, no doubt, that Mr. de Montalembert speaks.

This legal plunder may be only an isolated stain among the legislative measures of the people. If so, it is best to wipe it out with a minimum of speeches and denunciations — and in spite of the uproar of the vested interests.

Socialism Is Legal Plunder

Socialists, like all other monopolists, desire to make the law their own weapon. And when once the law is on the side of socialism, how can it be used against socialism? For when plunder is abetted by the law, it does not fear your courts, your gendarmes, and your prisons. Rather, it may call upon them for help.

Above all, if you wish to be strong, begin by rooting out every particle of socialism that may have crept into your legislation. This will be no light task.

The best answer to this is to shoot the looters. If they are indeed a fringe element, then the movement should not mourn their loss, call them “good”, or otherwise lionize them.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use [”]united force[”] to solve economic, political or social problems.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism...

Community organizers activate totalitarian underlings to achieve their goals.

Makes me wonder how long it will be until they say murdering and raping white people is also a form of racial justice. The world is truly upside down. 10 - 20 years ago it would have been unimaginable to hear this vile crap being spewed. Today, not so much.

Bank Robbery, a legitimate form od protest? Rape, a legitimate form of protest? Murder, a legitimate form of protest?

Why is this even a question?

Strange how black logic tries to work.
