How does burning a gas station advance your cause?
Foxnews.com ^ | August 15, 2016 | Todd Starnes

It was a weekend of violent unrest in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A rampaging mob burned businesses and battled with police.

The rioting started after a black police officer shot and killed a black suspect. The bad guy had a gun - and when he refused to drop his weapon the officer opened fire.

I like some of Todd Starnes' work, but I've come to realize he represents the "naive church mouse" wing of the Conservative movement. He is a Trump hater, by the way.

From his column:

So the mob basically want us to get a job, work 60 hours a week, get a pay check and then turn the money over to them. Is that what they want?

and...

How does burning down your neighborhood advance your cause?

How does throwing bricks at police officers make you safer?

One of the protesters told a reporter they wanted more economic opportunities. Well - they can start by not burning down the economic opportunities they already have.

Yet another example of a Conservative taking at face value the Liberal argument.

IT'S A SCAM! IT'S ALL LIES!

The Liberal movement, and Black Lives Matter specifically, don't want justice, economic opportunity, racial harmony, or anything of the sort.

They want.................. POWER.

They want us and Western Civilization destroyed.

We are witnessing an insurrection in America. The Liberal movement has been setting the stage for this for decades. They've taken over the entire education system to indoctrinate an entire generation.

They've transformed black Americans into their shock troopers. They've taken over the entire Federal government to make sure that the insurrection isn't stopped.

Wake up church mice!

This is about:

Racism, selfishness and envy of those who work hard and produce for the good of everyone as well as themselves.

When you produce for yourself, you also help society. When you take from society you drag everyone down.

For a healthy and happier society, give more than you take.

By providing content for a sympathetic, liberal media to blast all over the news.

Their cause is fueled by tobacco and alcohol. A good supply of both are to be found in gas stations nowa days.

My point was that there is a very prominent and vocal wing of the Conservative movement, embodied by Ted Cruz, that is very naive about modern Liberalism.

I wasn't specifically talking about YOUR church.

Actually you could argue that they are the government in that they are paid by the government to do what they do.

If your cause is stealing beer and chips, it makes sense.

So they want white people to come in and create economic opportunity since they will not create economic opportunity

One of the aftermath pictures I saw of the gas station showed what looked like Sikh owner/operators surveying the damage. the article mentioned the agitators believed that they weren’t being treated fairly by the operators.

I’ll bet they meant that it was unfair to expect them to pay for their gas.

It will get Loretta Lynch to blame the police and whites and have the NFL teams salute the mob.

The answer is simple. If you kill people, attack people and destroy property your group will get support from the Obama administration and the Democrat Party.

These people are being directed to be violent and then complain about being victims.
