Sharpton Upset: 'Reckless' Rioters Are Destroying the Black-Owned Stores!
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/29/2020 6:28:49 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Discussing the rioting in Minneapolis on today's Morning Joe, Al Sharpton began by telling protesters that the goal of a fair criminal justice system wouldn't be achieved by "appearing" to be criminal themselves. He warned that people would "exploit" that. A clearly upset Sharpton then said:

"As I walked around Minneapolis yesterday . . . some of the stores that are being damaged are black-owned stores! So we cannot become so reckless that we are destroying each other in our rage."

Would Sharpton be less upset, and the rioters less "reckless," if only non-black-owned stores were destroyed?

Sharpton upset: rioters destroying black-owned stores! They shouldn’t be so “reckless.”

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

In 6 months we’ll hear from these racists about “deserts”, “food deserts”, “shopping deserts”, all kinds of crying about how there are no stores or delivery joints.

This is the problem with rioters... indiscriminate and wanton destruction.

Well, Al, obviously the rioters are not well-trained. Perhaps you should offer them a seminar in proper rioting?

At least one of the cops is Hmong. Is it ok to burn down and loot all Asian owned places?

Asking for a friend.

In other words, burn white owned stores but leave black owned stores
alone. That should really help Justice Brother.

This is the Al Sharpton show brought to you tonight by Freddie’s Market—hurry down to Freddie’s and get yourself some great deals on some slightly smoked items...

Once again, they lost the script.

Everyone was on their side, finding this thing just repugnant.

And then they blew it, with this behavior, tossing all the sympathy right out the window.

People have a right to protest and object.... but collateral destruction?

It happens when you don’t think past your emotions. It’s how ALL bad things happen....if you didn’t actually PLAN your dissidence.

It’s what happened to begin with when this low IQ cop forgot himself in just the same way and initiated this whole crime.

I should back that up to the low IQ HR people he got past in the first place. They forgot themselves and their responsibility to the community.

Looks like there anarchist virus is attacking the wrong targets. It just goes to show that some of the protesters aren’t protesting, they are there only to destroy.

Sharpton is fine when they target Jews and Asians.

Oh, it has always been okay for Black folk to burn down Asian stores. Asians are only people of color when Democrats need their vote. The rest of the time, they are White.
