There are parts of the Bay Area like this.

Just destroyed.

I drive 48 miles to my office and I am literally driving through a war zone.

I read one of the MST3K guys is all woke now on Twitter.

No shock there.

From experience, the people doing the torching (those that aren’t Antifa doing it for political reasons, or looters trying to cover their tracks) actually expect the store to be rebuilt the next day (either literally or practically) and are stunned when the store never returns. No kidding. There were people in LA complaining about the stores they’d burned down not being open after the 1992 Riots. Some of these people were recorded as still complaining and not understanding why the stores didn’t come back when they were interviewed in 2017 for the 25th anniversary.

“Right now, our community, we live in a food desert, which happened overnight.”

That’s because it’s an IQ desert.

LOL, you win the Internet for the day.

MST3K = Mystic?
Is that a Rap Group?

I’m a little out of the loop on current ‘culture’.
I have heard of that movie Mystic Pizza with the lovely
& talented Julia Roberts, but that too is ancient Hollywood history.
1988.

What kind of people burn down their own neighborhood to protest things not in their neighborhood?

The question of who burned these buildings down is of great public importance. An enterprising, public-spirited reporter could easily do some shoe-leather work to answer it, thus really serving the people of the area.

Maybe someday reporters like that will come in from some other dimension and do that work.

People who vote-in LIB/Leftist/DIMs and those who support uncivil behavior (rioting, assault, drugs and so forth) deserve what they get. Tough luck. Enjoy the years of suck!!!

Mystery Science Theater 3000....... I have the T shirt. Alas it is old and somehow became smaller.

It is still available on the Pluto streaming service

The star is one of ours..... Tom Servo

Oh! The science theater.

Sorta like Bill Nye, the science guy.

The riot, insurrection, war clause will protect the insurance companies.

Terrorism usually isn't covered. Having ANTIFA designated a domestic terrorist group, won't help the insured.

No, No........ Mystery Science Theater.

You sit in a theater behind Joel Robinson and robots Tom Servo and Crow T Robot and and watch extremely cheesy B movies and listen to their snarky comments all the way through.

To my best knowledge MST3K preceeds Free Republic and joel is no relation to Jim

“Whats going to happen is you,ll have government programs to ship these people out into the suburbs and relocate them and have cheaper housing so they have access to everything that they burned down.”
________________________________________

Realtors can easily have hidden motives.

Dishonest, capricious, and just plain vile realtors.

Long term, if enough of the area is cleared out from the old location they Gentrification will start to take place.

It’s then, that the realtors I afore mentioned will start raking in the monies. Another group of folks (most likely all democrats) making monies off of Antifa and BLM’s activities.

Oh..THAT one! I used to see those once in a while. It was fun.

I had a friend who watched that and another show called
Adult Swim, a rather strange cartoon/ social commentary show.

I’ve been thinking along the same lines, but I’m cynical enough to imagine these neighborhoods gentrified by the same antifa kids rioting today, in ten years, maybe not even self-aware enough to notice they’re profiteering from their exciting youthful activism.

This was the plan - destroy all hope in urban areas. They lost their jobs. They lost their stores. Those who had started businesses lost their investments. It’s a big win for the party of dependence on government . . . or so democrats hoped.

Why is it that black Americans are responding to democrat arson and looting of their neighborhoods unexpectedly - by supporting President Trump (40% support according to https://twitter.com/Rasmussen_Poll/status/1268919228855451654 Rasmussen today!)?

Democrats destroying the lives of other Democrats, Maybe the newly destroyed should try getting off the porch and leaving the Plantation.
