U.S. Riots of May 2020 over George Floyd and others - ITT: a bunch of faggots butthurt about worthless internet stickers

[Super Book]

Fires are still ongoing (Autozone was lit a third time, among other buildings) and firefighters reported rocks being thrown at them earlier this morning while trying to extinguish some of the fires.

Man, they REALLY hate Auto Zone.

This is actually as peaceful as those joggers can get.

In other news, Up-And-Coming lolcow Innuendo Studios (Ian Crosby Danskin) has this to say on the matter:

So he basically advocated for violence against the police under the guise of self defense.

On the other side of the coin, there are the thin blue line fags who are just as obnoxious and would defend law enforcement even if we really were the police state that progtards believe us to be.

A bunch of White people hate Whites.

A bunch of Black people hate Blacks.

I don't get the self hatred.

Self-hatred for a white person is an essential activity if one is to purge the world of isms and phobias.

I can understand throwing rocks at cops (not saying it's justified, just I can understand the mentality) but who the hell throws rocks at rescue workers? I know this isnt the first time its happened I just don't get why.

Blacks don't differentiate between cops, firefighters or paramedics.

911 is 911.

And now the looting has spread into St. Paul. Target and a pawn shop being burglarized right now by crowds.

You know this whole shit has taught me something, I always though blacks live in warmer weather, never though they would live in a frozen wasteland like Minnesota. Is it the cold weather maybe that is fucking them up?

At least they haven’t slashed the hoses like they did in Baltimore.

Yet.

Can't explain all of them but the Obama admin settled a bunch of Somalis in Minnesota. Don't know the previous voting record for the area but it seemed like an attempt to flip/keep it blue.

Once some locals have enough and some "Rooftop Korean" types of militia get together, the rioting will die down quick.

Probably after a few people get shot, unfortunately. Looting TVs, spinner rims, and liquor for racial justice is all fun until someone is actually willing to defend their stuff.


Or they get carried away, go after richer neighborhoods, and provoke an ACTUAL RESPONSE from the cops and national guard.

Yeah, there was an Obama-era Resettlement Program for Somalian "Refugees" out there. It ensured plenty of democrat voters lived there for the foreseeable future.

And had the usual, predictable side-effects: Welfare costs spiked, crime skyrocketed, property values plummeted, and everyone who could afford to do so moved away.

To be fair to this person, when the CNN headline this morning was about "heated protests" over the killing -- it is easy to see how some people might not know that "heated" meant buildings were set on fire. The media downplaying all this is more horrifying than the actual riot. Just report what happened. If there is nothing wrong with the rioting, you shouldn't have to memory hole it. They don't need white saviors at CNN stepping in to save them from bad PR.

Even if CNN et al are cucked, at least the local paper isn’t shying away from the facts.

Minnesota is a strong blue state, it was like the only state that stopped Ronald Reagan from winning all 50 in 1984. Probably last time it went Red was when Nixon won in 1972. Sending these refugees there was a waste of time if they want to keep the state blue. However it has been changing to red now thanks to neoliberalism and Obama.

There was word that the rioters were going south. Did anything come out of that?

That Target was where I did all my grocery shopping. Fuck.

The small business owner article is great because it highlights the risks of doing business in "the hood". On a good day, you might have to deal with some truly shitty customers or theft. On a bad day like a riot, you'd better hope you have a damn good insurance plan because your business will have been looted and burnt to the ground. In at least one case, they didn't have good insurance:

Tim Gleason, who has owned Precision Tune Auto Care on Lake for 20 years, stood outside his building as his mechanics picked up whatever tools were left from inside the garage. He believed protesters stole the cars and drove them out right through the garage doors.


“There were five cars inside the building and they stole each one of them. Found one a block away at McDonald’s,” he said. “The worst part for me is that these guys’ tools that were stolen aren’t covered by the business insurance because it’s their personal property. So hardworking mechanics are out a bunch of money.”

I've heard stories of business owners selling off franchised stores and small businesses in the hood because it got too risky and unsustainable to keep doing business there.

Please stop making those two protests a race thing.

One group of people didn't destroy anything, another did.

By making it a race thing, you are ENCOURAGING RACISM that doesn't exist in those scenarios.

There are plenty of people on Twitter making it a race issue already -- saying that the armed white people got special treatment. Maybe, but they weren't smashing windows, setting buildings on fire or looting. Maybe that's why they weren't tear gassed. I'm sympathetic with the reason for the anger and protest, but if they don't want people turning it into a race thing, then they need to stop doing it themselves. Call out the rioters and looters as the scum they are instead of excusing it. There's no excuse for the cop's actions and there is no excuse for the rioter's actions, either. Some people (not directed at you personally) seem to think you have to pick a side. You can call both of them out.

The climate isn't relevant.

I remember taking a macroeconomics class where they discussed how rivers, climate, the soil and animal wildlife affected civilization. How come Africa never reached the same stage of development as China and Europe was discussed from what I remember by some Chinese professor and basically hostile wildlife like lions and unable to domesticate elephants and giraffes fucks up trying to think of stuff and create farms is what I can remember lol.

That Target was where I did all my grocery shopping. Fuck.

If you hurry you might still be able to benefit from the impromptu fire sale! Don't forget today's special five finger discount deals on all in-stock merchandise!

You have to kill and eat the hostile wildlife BEFORE you attempt to build civilization, silly. Why do you think Europeans ruled for so long?

Yes, it's part of a broader socio-historical theory. You can read a lot about it in Guns, Germs and Steel.

The book attempts to explain why Eurasian and North African civilizations have survived and conquered others, while arguing against the idea that Eurasian hegemony is due to any form of Eurasian intellectual, moral, or inherent genetic superiority. Diamond argues that the gaps in power and technology between human societies originate primarily in environmental differences, which are amplified by various positive feedback loops. When cultural or genetic differences have favored Eurasians (for example, written language or the development among Eurasians of resistance to endemic diseases), he asserts that these advantages occurred because of the influence of geography on societies and cultures (for example, by facilitating commerce and trade between different cultures) and were not inherent in the Eurasian genomes.

Didn't know Auto-Zone and Target were government owned.

That was the joke. Someone already made the comparison to Tim McVeigh. If this is really about injustice then city hall would be on fire.
