Philadelphia .. at least 30 police officers have been injured in the violent unrest, while dozens of people have been arrested for rioting or vandalism. Mobs have descended on Walmart and rushed out carrying TVs, while other agitators ransacked Footlocker for new sneakers.

This latest outbreak simply adds to the thousands of businesses, from Chicago to Minneapolis and beyond, that have been rioted, ransacked, burned down, or looted in the ongoing period of political unrest over police brutality, both real and imagined. All told, the damage from rioting in recent months will exceed any past period of civil unrest in American history, with even modest under-estimates putting the total cost at up to $2 billion.
The outbreak of mass rioting and looting across America is alarming in its own right, but equally chilling is the publics support for the violence. .. college students in particular overwhelmingly believe that rioting and looting is justified.
...
One key finding from the poll was that 64 percent of college students agreed that the recent rioting and looting is justified to some degree. Only 28 percent disagreed with this assessment.

Shut the colleges down. Make them work for a living. A dose of reality will do them good.

Wouldnt you be miserable if that was the pool of women from whom you had to choose?
Shooting rioters and looters where they stand is justified, too.
These are the same wussies that yell what the hell and call the cops when someone looks at then crosseyed...let alone touches their stuff.
Hold the college degree of anyone who graduated in 2010 or after as highly suspect.
College today on the whole makes people more stupid and ignorant than when they entered. They are being taught by people just as stupid.
“...65% of College Students Say Rioting and Looting is Justified, ...”
