Thought this would be worth reading in light of the Baltimore riots.

So they want the police out of the way so they can rape and pillage whitey. Same kinda thing happening in Africa. Guess it beats working for a living.

Looting is opportunism. It does nothing to right any wrongs you perceive were done against you by those in power, and it most certainly harms your neighbors who have done nothing against you and now have less means of making a living.

OK, the lootees are unquestionably bad, and the looters are unquestionably good, ergo their behavior (looting) is unquestionably just. Check, check and check. Got it. Enlightening exposition.

This fool is justifying looting as an act of protest against “white supremacy”. What he is really doing is advancing the left wing narrative that whites, especially white heterosexual males, are inherently evil and that any action taken against them , theft , murder whatever, by people of color is “justifiable”. Of course this will lead to harsh segregation, no go zones and perpetual racial conflict. His bizarre rant is now being heard at universities and other left wing venues.

If we have to put up with violent street gents anyway, let’s do everyone a favor and terminate welfare ( give a little advance notice so folks can go get jobs if they need them — and keep helping the five or ten percent with actual serious medical disabilities). A transformation of America back to a just and productive society where citizens mostly take responsibility for themselves and their families.

It’s really time to separate from liberals, outright. We need to give them some area, and we will occupy the other area. It’s clear we can never live in the same region.

Instead of “Hand up,” they really want “Hands off!” Then, they can be free to participate in the Illegal Drug Industry with impunity. Then, America will have its society rocked with a drug problem of nation killing proportions.

Willie Osterweil

Based on that name, probably another stupid cracker ass cracker. You loot my business, I'll shoot to stop the threat beyond all certainty. That goes for blacks, masked white anarchists, homos, and all points in-between.

Korean Shopkeepers and African American bakers are the most serious white supremists out there.

Not all liars are criminal, but all criminals are liars.

When the criminal refuses to accept the consequences of their behavior, one technique for them to accommodate their guilty conscience is to rationalize their criminal behavior. They lie to themselves in their rationalization and in a more degenerate form, lust for approbation of their criminal actions and thinking.

I figure if looting we’re justifiable, this clown could have justified it in a lot fewer words.

So is swimming back to the continent you claim over America!

>>>implies people of color are greedy and lazy<<<

This guy is a Bigot, He is saying that Looters are all “people of color”.

In fact it implies that Looters are greedy and lazy.

As for my opinion.

Looters will be shot. If they move, they will be shot again.

Pure Marxist insanity, but well written and clearly the product of an intelligent mind. Too bad his worldview is totally bananas.

It reminds me of Thomas Sowell’s book The Quest for Cosmic Justice. He makes the point that there’s conventional justice which is limited in scope but achievable through human institutions. Then there’s cosmic justice which seeks recompense for the world’s cosmic wrongs. It is not achievable through human institutions, and causes suffering when pursued through force of government. But what is most insidious about cosmic justice is that it requires the violation of conventional justice in order to be realized. This is the kind of justice the left prefers.

This looting thing is a good example. It is sensible to have a rule that stealing is wrong and against the law and that it’s right to use the police power of the state to stop it. This is something that can reasonably be achieved in most cases even by our limited, imperfect human institutions. It does not require a supernatural level of wisdom to be applied fairly, nor does it require us to violate some other tenet of conventional justice.

But to seek justice for the world-historical fact of slavery and its unfortunate consequences? Simply too big and too complex of a task. Undertaking it would mean turning everything upside down and inside out. It would be doomed to fail and would leave a wake of suffering. This is in large part because it would require us to turn a basic part of conventional justice — that is, that it’s wrong to steal — on its head and to see a vice as a virtue, which is precisely what the writer of this piece is making the case for.

Perhaps we should form a looting party and go to Willie’s house.

There are hundreds, thousands of leftist Willie Osterweils around the country cranking out anti-establishment screeds like this one on a weekly basis. None of them of worth paying much attention to.

Doubtless, if the Osterweils of the nation suddenly came upon a pile of money or property, they wouldn't be quite so charitable as they are now with other people's property.
