So you condone the destruction of personal property, the destruction of personal homes, the destruction of small businesses in minority owned areas just to get your political point across?

Except it isn't just corporations they are looting. It's mom and pop stores as well. Sorry, it's not justified regardless of the current climate. Harassing people in order to show support isn't justified either.

Hopefully after this election we can get the right people in to improve the economy for the working class and to reign in the corporations and the greed amongst the wealthy. Im all for healthcare reform, although I was never taught black women tolerate pain because they have "thicker skin".

Yeah, but who exactly do you think is looting the mom and pop stores? I can say right now, that it's not the people who are trying to ensure that small business can succeed now and in the future (read: BLM and other social justice activist "groups").

This election has no hope of getting the "right people" in, but we can try to avoid an corporate, fascist dictatorship.

The "thicker skin" is a very widespread idea both in medicine and in general social expectation.

As well as these, there's also the issue that outpatients of color are less likely to get the same dosages and amounts of painkillers and medicine, due to the idea that they'll sell them off [which, note: ties between racial bias and classism. If you're selling your medicine, you need the money. If you're selling it for drugs, you probably need those drugs to get through your current situation].

We've come to expect that intentional twist and avoidance of truth from some accounts. Thanks for the good example.

Deadly Shootings in Kenosha

... The confrontation and its aftermath was caught by several witnesses at the scene, and came as the militia members, who said they were guarding a local car dealership to protect it from arson and looting, were confronted by a large crowd of protesters.

The footage shows an armed man walking down the street with protesters in pursuit — reportedly after he’d shot a demonstrator in the head. The gunman, holding a rifle, stumbles to the ground and is battered with a skateboard and hit with a flying kick — and responds by opening fire, striking two of the demonstrators, with one seen clutching his chest as he walks away.

“We were all chanting ‘black lives matter’ at the gas station and then we heard, boom, boom, boom, and I told my friend, ‘that’s not fireworks,'” protester Devin Scott, 19, told WITI-TV. “And then this guy with this huge gun runs by us in the middle of the street and people are yelling, ‘he shot someone! He shot someone!” Scott said. “And everyone is trying to fight the guy, chasing him, and then he started shooting again.”

The gunman is then seen approaching several armored police vehicles with his hands up, but cops just drive past him towards the protesters, the images show...

So you condone it too? Interesting. I remember the Tea Party marching and protesting. I don't remember any buildings being torched, homes destroyed or any innocent lives being lost/injured. I suppose liberasl and conservatives just protest in different ways.

FYI, I've seen blatant human rights abuses in foreign countries. I've never witnessed it in the USA.

Sure.

Apparently conservative peaceful protests involve firearms in 2020... that works...the police don't tear gas them. In fact, it seems that the police invited the underage shooter to attend the BLM protest with that illegally carried weapon. They gave him water and encouragement before he killed a couple people and generated terror.

Awww come on now. You know Rittenhouse wasn't protesting. He was protecting personal property because the police department refused to do it. When the police fail to act ordinary citizens will act. It's stupid, don't get me wrong but he wasn't protesting Big difference.

Lynching is premeditated murder committed by a group of people by extrajudicial action: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lynching_victims_in_the_United_States

He came to Kenosha from Illinois with an assault rifle that was illegal for him to possess. After killing people he went back to Illinois.

If he was protecting property, then how’d he wind up running through the protestors while carrying a long gun? Pure speculation on my part but I detect the scent of a wanna-be in rittenhouse. I also think it didn’t work out quite the way he thought it would.

Sure...

What property of his was that boy from Illinois, illegally carrying a firearm across state lines, that he couldn't legally own, was Kyle protecting? You seem to be making it clear that conservatives value property more than human life...good job.

‘It was a modern-day lynching’: Violent deaths reflect a brutal American legacy

As black people continue to die at the hands of police and vigilantes, the nation faces its long history of racial violence.

A white officer presses his knee into Floyd’s neck. “I can’t breathe,” Floyd, 46, says repeatedly. “Please. Please. Please. I can’t breathe. Please, man.” Bystanders, filming the scene, plead with the officer to stop. He doesn’t. As three other officers stand by, he kneels on Floyd for eight minutes and 48 seconds as the life seeps from his body.

“It was a modern-day lynching,” said Arica Coleman, an historian, cultural critic, and author. “This man was lying helplessly on the ground. He’s subdued. There’s the cop kneeling on his neck. This man is pleading for his life. To me, that is the ultimate display of power of one human being over another. Historically, you could be lynched for anything.”...

... From 1877 to 1950, more than 4,400 black men, women, and children were lynched by white mobs, according to the Equal Justice Initiative. Black people were shot, skinned, burned alive, bludgeoned, and hanged from trees...

... Floyd’s death came six weeks after police in Louisville, Kentucky, fatally shot Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old black woman, during a midnight “no-knock” raid on her home. It came 10 weeks after the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old black man, who was chased down by a white father and son in a pickup truck as he jogged in his neighborhood in Glynn County, Georgia...

... Historians say the deaths seemed to rip the scab from 400 years of oppression of black people. During a pandemic that has disproportionately sickened and killed African Americans, the deaths unleashed a rage against oppression that became a catalyst for uprisings across the country and around the world...

Apparently the BLM rioters also came with guns/pistols as proven in the photos posted earlier. I'm not sure that pistol was legal to be carried concealed during a riot.
