The reporter getting hit in the head with a bottle could be classified as a friendly fire incident.

No one is forcing them to live in those self imposed prisons, nor to accept food stamps. They could actually build their own strong communities, schools and even rocket ships but hey that takes personal commitment. It is so much easier to whine and blame others while screaming for social justice and recognition without actually having to earn it.

That rifle looks like a Daisy BB gun.

LOL! That's exactly what I thought. It's tough to look badass when you're packing like Ralphie.

"Nothing runs like a Deere" "Nothing lies like a cop"

So the homeboys looting and destroying the town and randomly attacking white people are justified in your eyes? I fail to see the point you're trolling at.

It’s impossible for them to be racist. We’ve been told that for years, right? Right? /s

yes, looting a convenience store is always the proper corrective for allegations of police brutality.

Maybe they were shopping for condolance gifts for the victims family? Nothing says "sorry for your loss" quite like a 46oz Big Gulp.

The Obola virus is spreading.

Are we talking about the rioting? Or are we talking about the shooting of yet another unarmed citizen by the police?

“‘Loot … and rob them, not your own’; Twitter users advise black people to loot white neighborhoods”

Probably a very bad idea and they know it.

In certain societies, being a criminal is considered a legitimate career path. Getting shot by the mark or the police is considered a crime punishable by riot.

Good point. It’s not looting. It’s shopping.

real gift in sobriety is the gift of desperation which motivates one to change

Plus they'd have to lose their deep-seated mistrust of "the system". Events like this only serve as a catalyst and reinforce their beliefs.

It's no excuse, just an observation.

Sorry, this was the quote I was referring to. Somehow, the cut/paste option pulled something else off my clipboard. Couldn't have been my fault :)

Interesting that not only a culture but an entire generation that has consistently DEMANDED “justice” now finds ^instant gratification^ more appropriate.

It was the Iowa State fair, when they had a “beat whitey” night.

So now the rule is if you are white, don’t be at the Fair after sundown.

“People are completely fed up with the overreach and abuse from the people we pay to serve and protect preying on us.”

The looting has nothing to do with the cop situation. This is on par with ISIS being savages, too. Savages do as savages do.

Undoubtedly this will be blame on the oppression of the black man by whites. Not on the verifiable fact that Obama hasn’t created one job for black people.

I condemn the looting, however the looting probably lets people believe they are taking action
