9 Things To Think About Before You Start Rioting And Looting
Townhall.com ^ | August 17, 2014 | Doug Giles

Things are getting dicey out there in the United States of Acrimony, eh? People are pissed. They’re sick of the government … sick of control … sick of the inequities and absurdities in our land … sick of the man and the machine … sick of our borders having bigger holes than a fat woman’s pantyhose after high steppin' a barbed-wire fence; and sick, hallelujah, of that little priss, Justin Bieber.

It appears as if, ladies and gents, that rebellion/revolution is America’s soup de jour.

Yep, it’s cuckoo time and me likey.

This is what it must’ve felt like in 1773 minus the powdered wigs and small pox.

As we’ve seen this past week in Ferguson, MO, folks are fed up and ready to break crap if they have to in order to bring about justice; and I dig that spirit.

However, and this is just my advice: before we starting burning the mother down, we should make certain that the war we wage, the cause we champion and the person we support is noble and legit. Amen? Amen.

With that in mind, herewith are nine things to consider before you burn your neighborhood or city down to the ground:

Check it out: Prior to rioting, looting and pillaging and taking off a week to trash the place in which you live and risk being tear gassed, shot and/or run over by Barney Fife’s new army tank, ask yourself these nine diagnostic questions …

1. Has the man I want to champion just been exposed on CCV stealing Swisher Sweet cigars by the armload from a convenience store?

2. Did this self-same man violently grab, shove and intimidate a tiny little store clerk?

3. Did the man I’m supporting flip off the camera a lot via Twitter?

4. Did the man I am ready to go to bat for make gang-signs quite often as he sat for photographic portraits taken by his friends? Oh, and don't forget, do due diligence to ascertain whether or not he also had rap songs out in which he praises murder, drug use and screwing ho's.

5. Also, before you go out on a limb in a revolution, try to be certain that the person you’re willing to go to jail for didn’t climb into a cop’s car and then punch him in the face.

6. Similarly, make sure your champion didn’t try to take the police officer’s firearm before you paint him as a damsel in distress.

7. Further, before you hinge your freedom on a deceased person, be careful to make sure that the witness you’re banking on wasn’t a part of a robbery that could implicate him and thus cause him to ... uh ... embellish his story.

8. In addition, before you destroy your city, bear in mind your taxes will probably spike once the dust settles to rebuild what you just torched and ransacked.

9. And finally, ask yourself: "Self, how will your stealing seven bottles of Mad Dog 20/20 bring about justice?”

It’s not about justice,it’s about getting even more free stuff.Plus they enjoy running amuck.


It's not about poverty either.

The “protesters” all look very well fed (some way overfed), very well clothed and the cars they drive are very nice, late model trucks and midsize cars.

It galls to hear losers being interviewed talking about poverty and oppression and the like when the looters are loading their loot into cars nicer than the one I drive.

You kid yourself. These people can’t “think.”
Their frame of reference is the immediate moment to 3 seconds in the future.
They do not think of consequences of actions. Just immediate gratification.
Talking to them is a waste of time.

Before looting, it would be prudent to think about whether that armload of bottles, electronics, or shoes is worth your life. The owner of those objects already devoted all his time and money to opening and stocking a store - that person’s ability to feed a family depends on selling the merchandise and not having it stolen by petty thugs. How sure are you that the owner values your life more than the lives of his family, and how sure are you that the owner is unarmed or not there?

Of course their cars are nicer. We pay for their food and housing, so all their (illegal or unreported) income goes to optional spending - flashy cars, name shoes, and bling. I have no sympathy for looters, for parasites on welfare, or for those who spend other people's money and then complain that the people who actually work and pay taxes aren't giving them enough money.

Mike Brown was an excuse for the fun of mayhem. They never gived a cr*p about him or why would young black males murder so many other young black males?

The answer to all the question is yes. Also even he did have no weapons, his 6’4 stature and almost 300 lbs weight were his weapon
