Protesters burn Atlanta Wendy’s where cops fatally shot Rayshard Brooks
NY Post ^ | June 14, 2020 | Vincent Barone

Protesters set fire Saturday to the Atlanta Wendy’s where, the night before, a black suspect was shot dead as he fired at two white cops with a stolen police Taser.

Angry crowds protesting the racially charged shooting of Rayshard Brooks, a 27-year-old father of four from Atlanta, also shut down an interstate highway.

Crowds of several hundred had gathered outside the fast-food restaurant all day Saturday, but began breaking windows of the establishment after sunset, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

A fire started inside at around 9:30 pm., according to the paper.

As smoke billowed from the restaurant, some protest organizers encouraged demonstrators to go home, but police moved in to make arrests, the outlet reported.

Brooks was fatally shot by an Atlanta police officer during a struggle after he failed a sobriety test in the Wendy’s parking lot.

Those weren’t “protesters” doing the burning; those were thugs.

Who are these EVIL white kids? I find them more morally decrepit than the local blacks who are protesting. I would be ok with counter protesters who removed these white kids by force.

“And why are they always fighting and resisting cops?”

Several reasons. Black male culture is one of bluster and display behavior. (When your cat fluffs up, turns sideways to look bigger and yowls loudly, that is display behavior.) In black culture if you back down it’s the same as falling down in front of a wolfpack. Your life as a free man is over and you are forever thereafter “owned.” Apparently, many black men are unable to separate being in their aggressive culture and being confronted by a cop. What works in their culture is exactly the wrong thing to do when being questioned by a cop.

Another reason is, they have been taught that if they want something and a white doesn’t instantly grant it, the white is racist. Being part of the downtrodden culture is in fashion. Everybody wants to be fashionable.

More proof that these are riots with destruction of property without purpose. The Wendy’s franchise had nothing to do with this event yet still was destroyed.

We are dealing with a deep criminal element in all of this, folks.

The black lives who work, study to improve themselves, own or run businesses and create jobs don’t matter to the left. It’s only the criminal class and the robots for the “revolution” that matter.

Every confrontation between black people and white people is now “racially charged.”

No, actually NY Post, he was shot after firing the taser he took from one of the officers.

I blame the completely dysfunctional inner-city black ghetto culture for this killing and many others.

They think it’s cool to resist. They think it’s cool to fight back against the law. They hate Whitey. They are the racists. They refuse to look in the mirror and try to fix their problems, but instead deflect them & project them on others.

Guess what BLM & Antifa. We’re onto you. When the power goes out, the water stops running, the food stops getting sent to your food banks and convenience stores - it’s on.

And there will be NO MERCY. You wanted this, you started this. You tried to blame cops, white folks, and everybody else for your problems, but in the end you actually made it worse for your own evil & disgusting communities.

I pray for peace, but I’m also prepared for war. There are millions like me too.

We’re ready!

Protesters? Scumbags.

But we’re supposed to praise them and give them stuff when they’re violent.

Businesses will avoid these areas like the plague of course they’ll never say it.
