MonsterofFame 1,797 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 2 hours ago, Autumn said: it isn't actually. these protests are a lot more violent and widespread than 2014-16. peaceful protest has been practised for years, but now it seems that looting and destroying businesses is the only way forward. it's the only way to get them to listen. THEY DON'T LISTEN TO PEACEFUL PROTESTS. AS A MOVEMENT, WE ARE DESPERATE. RIOTING IS THE LAST HOPE FOR CHANGE. 2 hours ago, Harry Potter said: If you are more worried about the looting for insured business, then you are part of the problem. You need a history lesson. You think woman and gays got their rights by walking down the street holding hands? Did you forget how many times black people tried protesting peacefully? You guys always have a problem with whatever they do. Whether it’s kneeling during the anthem, when colin kaepernick made a deal an ad with Nike to bring awareness with the injustice going on, or simply just ignoring them when they simply stand and ask for equal treatment. Go set up a GOFund account for all the businesses and donate to them since that seems to be the most important thing to you. All people like you are doing is giving more support to the very side that you are against. People not involved will see this as an out-of-control mob that needs to be controlled -- undermining the entire cause. We're already seeing this based on statements by Trump. Did anything change last time there were violent protests? How is stealing from a Coach store going to show that you stand for black rights? I think you need a history lesson -- specifically about MLK. His name is Martin Luther King Jr., in case you didn't know It would make sense to protest and block government and law enforcement buildings -- not random ones.
