    All I see is peaceful looting, surely they are insured.

    This is not my actual take, but too many people on this site cheer when it’s masked “protesters” robbing businesses but wag their finger at this? I mean, you never see a post titled “THE RIOTER PROBLEM”.

    Choose a moral standing that isn’t tied to political football.

      Conservatives: “Y’all are cheering the rioters and looters. We’ll never support that.”

      Progressive: waves a picture of a cop smashing a window, burning a car, and shooting a passerby without so much as a warning

      Conservative: “How dare you?! HOW DARE YOU!! You just hate the police and want the looters to win!!! I hope the police arrest you and send you to a death camp!!!”

      Liberal: “Okay, everyone calm down. Mr conservative, I’m sorry the progressive upset you like that. I also don’t like rioters and looters. Let’s talk about how we can find common ground.”

      “oh my, some people used the chaos of the police breaking up lawful protesters to loot stores, surely the solution is to never protest authoritarian overreach ever again.” Go clutch your pearls somewhere else fucko.
