Oh come on
These people don’t get up until noon at the earliest.
Yup. Tough to do when you get up at noon to 3:00 PM: By the time you’re hitting on all eight cylinders, it’s dusk. And the gibsmedat/burn it down mentality works best under cover of darkness.
Thanks Lyndon Baines Johnson for this great society! Now all we need are millions of Latino welfare deadheads battling the current welfare kings and queens in the small hours of the night.
This isn’t about outrage and social justice as it is healthy, young people with too much summer time on their hands.
Sure.
“This isn’t about outrage and social justice as it is healthy, young people with too much summer time on their hands.”
You nailed it. It just jolly good sport, that’s it. Guess the perps haven’t considered that they’re fouling their own nest. Soon, all their grocery stores, eateries, etc will be shuttered or burned down and their community will be gone. But, so it goes.....

They can't... I'm sure they all work during the day. /s
They cant do that, they sleep all day!
Looting is NOT an element of ‘protest’... these are street thugs.
LOL - then the real fun begins as Poverty Pimps descend into 'the community' to tell blacks it's racism that keeps nice stores out... Yeah, right - not connected to any of this burn 'em down crap... no, just plain old racism.
It's time for black adults to take back their community from violent idiots.
The Missouri Governor is asleep at the switch.
Better to impore them to go home and wait for the autopsy and investigation report. But, no, they’d rather destroy their neighborhood.
“...Guess the perps haven’t considered that they’re fouling their own nest...”
Some of them have; they were using Twitter to send messages to “stop looting and burning OUR neighborhood! Go and loot the WHITES’ neighborhoods!”
A day or two ago, there was a post with multiple Twitter posts expressing that sentiment over and over. It was on Drudge, Weasel Zippers, and some other sites as well, the actual posts screen-captured from Twitter.
Hence, the run on gun and ammo sales in the area.
More than likely, a lot of them realize it’s apparently SAFER for them to mess with the Po-leese - who appear to be in no hurry to shoot their asses - than go into Whitey’s ‘hood, where they probably WILL get shot.
Gee... guns save lives... whodathunk it...
I listened to someone on Fox this morning (I think it was DVR of Brett Baire's show yesterday) who put the 2 sides in this disputed death on air. First was a black friend of the deceased. Second, was a representative of the police relaying the shooter cop's story.
What struck me was that they were extremely close in their sequence of events. 1. Deceased at the car window/door of the police car. 2. Some kind of struggle at that window/door. 3. A first shot at the deceased at that door/window. 4. A separation in distance with the deceased apparently either not that injured or not hit at all. 5. The policeman exiting the car and pursuing the deceased. 6. The policeman firing multiple shots which proved fatal.
The difference is that the friend had the policeman as the aggressor at the window/door at midnight, grabbing the throat of the deceased. He also said the deceased initially fled, got down and said he wasn't armed, and the policeman put a number of shots into him killing him.
The policeman's version is that the deceased initiated a struggle at the window/door. There was a shot, the deceased departed, and there were more shots ending with the death of the now deceased.
It hinges on who initiated the fight at the window/door. The policeman is very sketchy about the follow-on shots, simply saying they took place after the deceased made effort to leave.
Unless the policeman has a recording/video, then the advantage goes to the deceased, because he has witnesses. The policeman has some kind of injury, but that only documents a struggle, which both sides agree happened at that window/door.
The location of spent shells will not matter based on the two stories we now know. Obviously, more could come out in the future. Perhaps a fingerprint of the deceased on the policeman's gun. Perhaps bruises on the deceased's neck where the policeman is said to have grabbed the man. And who knows what else.
Given these two stories, if I were that young man's parents, I'd be plenty upset, too. It's convoluted, and the witnesses, who the parents know, are pointing at the policeman. Sadly, the riots and theft injure the parents' credibility, even though they aren't participants in those riots.
Police simply don't start physical confrontations with suspects through the open window of their police car.
That might be true, but it is still witness versus nothing at this point. The policeman needs a video or recording.
If he doesn’t have video/recording...or some other evidence not yet known or revealed... then my personal opinion is that it won’t go well for him.
The businesses will end up going, but they’ll be moving to greener and healthier communities.
