I found out today that this extortion is happening in downtown Raleigh, NC.
First, most of the businesses in downtown Raleigh which had their windows and doors broken into still have plywood up in their windows and doors - and it has been several weeks since the worst of the riots. (broken windows, doors, fires, looting).
Second, one young lady was trying to clean up some of the grafitti that was still painted on the outside of her building. BLM was there - in full - along with the names of “victims” of police brutality.
She was being WATCHED by a car full of “protesters”....who told her not to touch the BLM or the victim list.
Or else.
She was alone (a stupid situation) so she left the BLM and the list of victims’ names on the building.
This is probably going on all across this country but it is sickening to the nth degree. And what is the solution?
I’m so disgusted at the capitulation going on...from huge corporations to mom and pop stores. It’s like the rest of their consumers don’t exist or that they agree with what they’re doing. But then I think about the big companies that are NOT participating and there are a lot, and I feel somewhat better.
