9 Things To Think About Before You Start Rioting And Looting
Townhall.com ^ | August 17, 2014 | Doug Giles

Things are getting dicey out there in the United States of Acrimony, eh? People are pissed. They’re sick of the government … sick of control … sick of the inequities and absurdities in our land … sick of the man and the machine … sick of our borders having bigger holes than a fat woman’s pantyhose after high steppin' a barbed-wire fence; and sick, hallelujah, of that little priss, Justin Bieber.

It appears as if, ladies and gents, that rebellion/revolution is America’s soup de jour.

Yep, it’s cuckoo time and me likey.

This is what it must’ve felt like in 1773 minus the powdered wigs and small pox.

As we’ve seen this past week in Ferguson, MO, folks are fed up and ready to break crap if they have to in order to bring about justice; and I dig that spirit.

However, and this is just my advice: before we starting burning the mother down, we should make certain that the war we wage, the cause we champion and the person we support is noble and legit. Amen? Amen.

With that in mind, herewith are nine things to consider before you burn your neighborhood or city down to the ground:

Check it out: Prior to rioting, looting and pillaging and taking off a week to trash the place in which you live and risk being tear gassed, shot and/or run over by Barney Fife’s new army tank, ask yourself these nine diagnostic questions …

1. Has the man I want to champion just been exposed on CCV stealing Swisher Sweet cigars by the armload from a convenience store?

2. Did this self-same man violently grab, shove and intimidate a tiny little store clerk?

3. Did the man I’m supporting flip off the camera a lot via Twitter?

4. Did the man I am ready to go to bat for make gang-signs quite often as he sat for photographic portraits taken by his friends? Oh, and don't forget, do due diligence to ascertain whether or not he also had rap songs out in which he praises murder, drug use and screwing ho's.

5. Also, before you go out on a limb in a revolution, try to be certain that the person you’re willing to go to jail for didn’t climb into a cop’s car and then punch him in the face.

6. Similarly, make sure your champion didn’t try to take the police officer’s firearm before you paint him as a damsel in distress.

7. Further, before you hinge your freedom on a deceased person, be careful to make sure that the witness you’re banking on wasn’t a part of a robbery that could implicate him and thus cause him to ... uh ... embellish his story.

8. In addition, before you destroy your city, bear in mind your taxes will probably spike once the dust settles to rebuild what you just torched and ransacked.

9. And finally, ask yourself: "Self, how will your stealing seven bottles of Mad Dog 20/20 bring about justice?”

Man, they are in AMAZING shape. Wish I had free everything and could spend the day working out instead of working to pay for their free stuff!

True that. You have to actually pay taxes before an increase means anything.

C’mon—the esteemed Attorney General seems to think anything goes-—as long as you’re black. And he’ll do a secret autopsy just to prove it.

the phrase "tax increase" is unlikely to provoke dread in the hearts of the Ferguson looters.

Rly! hahahahaha. Also re #9 - of course it's justice. Especially if you've been fed a vile stew of hate and racial division all of your life. The one thing that stands out about that axis of the country (draw a line from kansas city to louisville) is an incredible polarization of racialism, with all sorts of nasty race-related cultural artifacts completely institutionalized, and all public institutions racially divided.

This mix of catering to ethnic separatism and wholesale distribution of largesse in the poverty bloc leads to this kind of crap all around the world, all throughout history.

They can’t act like humans because they are no longer human. And the fact that they have regressed to a feral state is defended by their parents and their culture...even by the President and the DOJ.

*******************************************

Unfortunately, that puts the remaining law-abiding, decent people who are humans in the position of “you loot, we shoot” and further strengthens the case for citizens being armed and able to defend themselves, their families, homes and property ..... and despite the race baiting attempts to color this situation ‘all black’, it doesn’t matter what color the ferals are.

Uh..Doug, the cause of rebelling against tyranny and restoring the nation to the Constitutional Republic it once was doesn’t look like wild baboons looting, burning and pillaging. Why this stupid comparison?


I think that is his point. They are NOT comparable. ;-)

they won’t care about any of that, cause this is just an excuse for them to let out their hatred against cops and take things that don’t belong to them.

After all, cops enforce laws. Laws against stuff like stealing, and these laws are evil creations of the white man designed to hold down the oppressed. (hey 50 dollars? No, way, a box of blunts or a flat screen tv should be free to the oppressed.)

Cops cramp the criminal thug lifestyle, so down with cops, especially the white ones.

You may be giving looters too much credit to assume that they actually think, about anything.

Yep. The article is so unrealistic it could almost pass as satire.
