If they want the monsters they're calling us, they might just get what they've been crying wolf about for the past couple decades.

oh yes, this protest was sparked by people assuming they would gain sympathy

they accomplished nothing more than creating even more racist than imaginable.

and if the riots continue to spread through the states, the "changed minds" will only grow in number

So does the US. I really wish people bothered to educate themselves on the relevant facts. Police arrest an estimated 10 million people per year. Of those, approximately 1,000 end up with the person dying. That's 0.01%. There are 330,000,000 people in this country, and nearly 1 in 5 interact with cops in a given year (that's 66,000,000 interactions.)

Really? Then scale the number of deaths by the size of the country. If the country of your choice has a tenth of the population, there should be a tenth of the number of deaths during arrest. I don't know if the US is still overrepresented after that correction.

No the riots have transcended this one incident and is now about the entirety of race issues in the US.

The actual race issue was solved years ago with legal equality. What we have now are hood rat issues. LBJ made sure he’d have a stock of people who were trapped in urban food deserts with no money, job or aspirations who are taught to drop out of school, do drugs, and vote for the party of more free shit. These riots are just a matter of human cattle wandering out of their pens and busting up the unfamiliar stuff that confuses them for fun.

I recall some idiot farmer in MN a few years back decided to set a trap for kids who were constantly breaking into his farmhouse. He sat in his basement with a gun, then shot a couple who broke into it. Headshotted them just to make sure they were dead. He filmed it all and gave it to the cops who promptly arrested him for murder. So no, in MN, your house isn't your castle and you've no right to kill anyone who breaks in. (Of course, if you kill then and turn them into bonemeal for your animals, that's a different story.)

I'm late on this, but that sort of thing is considered premeditated in most places. Similarly you can't entice people to trespass and kill them, either.

Doubt. If the problem is rooted in the race, it's still a race issue, no? There is one race that is very much overrepresented. Also, 6 gorillion Jews died in the hololcaust. They must be the most hated race of them all. For some reason, we don't have Jews at their bar mitzvah getting shot.

A Supermercado is just a Mexican/Latino grocery store like Walmart. A similar place to that would be Food City (which I believe is a chain in the southwest). If you want to get really good ingredients for Mexican food, they’re good places to go.

You know, it just occurred to me that despite all these restaurants being burned down, not one of them is the actual Chinese place that started all this in the first place.

Not saying it should get burned down. Just an observation.

Nothing much to loot and steal from Chinese covid infested rat nests.

The Byron David Smith case? There's no duty to retreat in your home in MN, but the reasonable force thing still applies. The bigger issue was that it was pretty clearly a premeditated ambush - he moved his truck down the road to make the house look empty, set up recording equipment, and then waited with a shotgun. He also recorded the whole thing, including cursing at the wounded / dead teenagers, and admitted to headshotting them after they were wounded rather than calling an ambulance for medical attention.

I was under the impression it was just the catchall for supermarkets rather than a specific chain, but I won't claim to know for sure.
