One Author's Argument 'In Defense Of Looting'

One author is a liar, callous and inhumane towards people in general. There is nothing to justify the riots and looting. Period.

If riots and looting are accepted as "justified," then self-defense against them must be regarded as "unjustified."

Many people (obviously all of the Democrat base) don't understand the economics of a store. Stores have something they call a margin which represents the difference between the overheaded cost of the items sold and the price they charge. to stay in business and make a profit the number of items sold times the margin has to be a positive number. Grocery stores in particular have very narrow margins.

Here is a math problem for the hood. Suppose Mr patel has a $.25 profit margin on a two dollar loaf of bread and steaks cost $10 and have a $2 dollar profit margin. If Dontarius steals two steaks how many loaves of bread does Mr Patel have to sell to break even before he starts to make money? (for those of you who live in the Bronx and voted for the Cortez nitwit the answer is 64.)

Part Two assuming that Mr patel sold just enough bread to cover his losses on the steaks and at that point Tyrone robs Mr patel how much money does Tyrone get? $128 again here is the answer for any of you who voted Democrat

Stealing seems to be rampant in the "food desert" neighborhoods

Typical “a priori” (before the facts) thinking. Every bit of information must interpreted/filtered through the lens of their political philosophy. Everything that doesn’t conform to their preexisting “reality” is either discarded or ignored.

In the end, there is only one way to deal with people who think this way and that is not to deal with them at all. They simply must be defeated politically and driven from the public square. In other words, the “Cancellers” must be cancelled.

The word “revolution” has been replaced by the word “protest”. They had to in order to get away with it.

Yeah, that round is a gimmick and cumulatively causes massive barrel damage.

Grabbing a large flat screen television is simply stealing, nothing to do with anything else.

Thou shall not steal. (Exodus 20:15.) So if it is ok to steal, is it ok to lie, or commit murder? If yes, why?

A vivid example of why we are here: “If there are no absolutes by which to judge society, then society is absolute.” Francis Schaeffer, How Shall We Then Live? (Old Tappan NJ: Fleming H Revell Company, 1976), p. 224.

My first thought when reading this “we need a punt gun”.
