Black business owner Please BURN my business, sets up gofundme page. Wonder if Guy Fieri likes them using his photo? Must have been off one of the DDD shows.

As of this writing $46,371 has been raised. The initial goal was $3,500.

This family believes their business should be burned down because it somehow stops racism or police brutality?

BUMP

Maoists love to destroy the past and those who remember the past.

The looters wouldn’t know what to do with a book if you gave them one. They are moronic savages.

Liberals love their protesters. Makes them feel like Russian revolutionaries instilling communism.

Black Panthers co-founder Bobby Seale talks barbecue and the Black Panthers:

Labor Day Bobby-que - By Ben White
September 1, 2007
https://www.vice.com/read/bobby-v14n9

(Interviewer): What was Eldridge like?

Seale: Eldridge was just a pure anarchist. He wanted to pull that Bakunin b***s*** off, you know what I mean? I mean, to show you what I’m talking about, Eldridge put out a pamphlet called “Catechism of a Revolutionary”-this is after that shoot-out situation. This is a Black Panther Party Ministry of Information pamphlet. I had not read this ****, OK? I did not know it was all Bakunin, the 1800s anarchist. And Marlon Brando called me up, he said, “Bobby! I’m not going to send you any more money.” Because Brando would give me money. I guess he must have donated ten grand to me. But he says, “I’m not gonna work with you guys any more. You’re running around telling people to kill their mother and father for the revolution. That ain’t right.” I said, “We don’t do any such g**d*** thing, what the hell’s wrong with you, Marlon?” “Here on page so-and-so!” “Of what?” He says, “Your ‘Catechism of a Revolutionary’!” So I says, “Rosemary, hand me that out of my briefcase.” I had the thing in my briefcase for two months and never read the damn thing because I’m busy, I’m organizing too much. So I got on page so-and-so, and he’s reading, “Kill their mothers and...” and I says, “Damn, I’m sorry, man...” He says, “OK, I’ll see you, bye”-click. So I lost my funding source because of Eldridge Cleaver’s bull. Later in life, I’m really taking the time to look at this and put two and two together. When I go back to speaking with Eldridge in 1992, we got a chance to get in various conversations. So I’m asking Eldridge, you had “Catechism of a Revolutionary.” I remember you called Martin Luther King a nonviolent fool. Now you’re a born-again Christian on the other side of the fence. So when Little Bobby Hutton was killed, were you operating from the standpoint of “Catechism of a Revolutionary”? He said, yeah, I was just stupid, I just thought we had to do something, boom boom boom.

(Interviewer): What does “Catechism of a Revolutionary” say, exactly?

Seale: It’s based on Bakunin. He ran around and said kill officials of the government of all kinds, murder them, shoot them down in the street, blah blah blah. Kill the police and so on-anything that represents the state.

You will notice they didn’t loot the books. Work boots are also safe from being looted.

“Did they at least save a copy of Fahrenheit 451?”

I doubt it. They are the kind who would read, if they could, Fahrenheit 911.

they tried to burn down the historic St Johns church

They don’t believe in God, either.

The irony of that statement is so hard, you could break a hammer on it.

The loss of Uncle Hugo's and Uncle Edgar's is being seriously mourned by the fandoms of those genres. I am also reminded that there's another well-known bookstore that could be a target...Powell's Books in Portland, OR. It takes up an entire city block and has three floors of all kinds of books. It's known all over the world for its selection.

But...it's Portland. Hotbed of ultra-liberal thinking. Who knows what'll happen.

I don't know about a blackout, but here's a Link to a video of the riots in DC last night. Can't believe these people live in my country.

You and my wife could talk books easily.

She has countless amounts.

I broke my back moving them.

As for me, I almost never open one now.

>>>I first thought the killing was random, but knowing that the cop and the victim knew each other and had both been security officers for the same company tells me there was a bad blood personal grudge present. This wasn’t a random killing by a cop. This was a murder of opportunity.

Hard to say but now even AP, CNN, and Fox have admitted and reported that both parties had worked together.

When you work security at a club, and the clientele speak Spanish, I am going to assume that those who speak English may speak to each other at a point.

And my understanding of venues that have hired police on hand AND bouncers, the bouncer contains a situation and lets the police officer handle the heavy work. Patrons cannot throw a punch at the uniformed officer. There is legal liability for the club when a bouncer throws a punch.

I expect these book stores were going to survive this China Virus.

That’s why they’re burned.

>>Current science fiction is best understood as comedy—ya know, Africa leading a new technological revolution, stuff like that... ;-)

Isn’t Afrofuturism a 50 year genre?

Sun Ra preached it.

the Disney Black Panther movie embraced it.

>>”I’ve been supporting Black Lives Matter for a very long time, and they have been fighting and protesting peacefully for the longest time. And you know, it just came to a point where this is the only way that a change could happen ... And it wasn’t until this much had to happen for them to just get that officer in custody,” Hafsa told TODAY. “That tells you a lot about how our system works and how far we need to take it so black lives in America can get the justice they deserve.”

I’m aware of white people and hispanic people who’ve been assaulted and killed by police as well. Why not protest ALL unjust police on citizen deaths?

Separate. Divide. Polarize.
