Interesting. Japan gets hit with a tsunami and there’s not one instance of looting...in the entire country. But let there be any kind of excuse, be it Katrina or horrible judgement by a policeman, blacks see it as an opportunity to loot, steal, and destroy. I’m sure Jesse and Al will have excuses for this that portray blacks as the victims, but I fail to see how this destruction/stealing will help the situation in MO.
Hey, hey, hey, let’s not be mean.
We’ve got to be culturally sensitive here. These “folks” were simply exercising an ancient and honored mourning ritual, a tradition brought by their ancestors from the tribal roots of their original countries.
Deaths in many parts of Africa are celebrated the same way to this day.
There is first much wailing and gnashing of teeth, then large crowds gather to march about until a suitable venue is found for trashing, looting, and burning - usually, but not always, in that order..
I could be wrong. I’m not a cultural anthropologist (but I do hold a doctorate, and I’m a keen observer of human behavior).
Perhaps this is a tradition these “folks” derived from their culture in THIS country. There is certainly a LONG history of such events in predominantly “urban American” (that’s an NPR-approved euphemism) neighborhoods.
Two word for those protecting their businesses and homes: AR 15.
seriously, where are the police?....why aren't they protecting property and peoples livelyhoods?
“But let there be any kind of excuse, be it Katrina or horrible judgment by a policeman, blacks see it as an opportunity to loot, steal, and destroy.”
Why not? They’ve been getting away with it for decades.
