Did Stacey Abrams Grant 'Legitimacy' to Atlanta Wendy's Torching?
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 06/14/2020 1:33:33 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

On This Week today, George Stephanopoulos asked Stacey Abrams to comment on the police shooting death of Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta this past Friday night, and the "disconnect" that Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms decried regarding her expectations for the police.

You might have expected Abrams to denounce the police conduct, while also condemning the lawless torching of the Wendy's restaurant where the incident occurred. But no, not a word of criticism for the wanton destruction of property. Instead, Abrams responded:

"That is why you saw the reaction from protesters. That is why the virulence of anger remains. Activists are necessarily calling into question what’s actually being done. And what I would say is that, there is — there’s a legitimacy to this anger. There's a legitimacy to this outrage."

Not one word of criticism from Stacey Abrams for the mob wantonly torching the Wendy’s. To the contrary, she says there’s “legitimacy” to their outrage.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Who cares, fast food chains are a “dime a dozen”.

Abrams probably owns the building and wants an insurance payout.

It was probably burned because they called 911 for a driver passed out in their drive through lane. Anyone who calls the police will be targeted.

Why would she grant ‘legitimacy’ to it? You never know when a big ol’ mammy might need her 2 AM Wendy’s Triple fix.....Remember, it was just a couple weeks ago that the ATL ferals went out of their way to spare a Waffle House.

I’m confused. Someone just posted a YouTube video complaining that a white girl set the fire and blacks were being blamed for it. But, here, we have Abrams suggesting whoever set should be commended.

“I still haven’t heard why Wendy’s was burned.”

I saw one video last night that claimed it was a white woman that started the fire. Certainly possible.

Yep, blacks get the blame for a fire a white started.

That’s White Privilege in a nutshell.

It is still someone’s property. No payout over civil disobedience.
