This would never happen in Belgium. Remember that discussion?
But this time I'm serious. I can't see this happening in Belgium.
I counted approximately 100 people running from the Mondawmin Mall in like 15 minutes. The looting went on for over an hour there. So nah, the vast majority of folks will be left unpunished, sitting at home drinking their 40's and trying on their new Nikes they looted. Hopefully some are dumb enough to post it on Facebook.
But here we go, you've highlighted why we need cameras every five feet so we can control the public. Perhaps there should be TSA at every store front so this doesn't happen.
I would be happy to call you a protestor as long as you make me money.
Damn, you sound like Alex Jones. Welcome aboard!
You might laugh, but this is becoming a truthful facet of society now, which is a shame. The 1st amendment is essentially all but revoked at this point. Only certain speech is protected.
So the question becomes, what are whites/blacks/the government/corporations/et cetera supposed to do about that? Baltimore has black folks running the town and they still have no meaningful jobs. Obama and the Democrats have been in office for a while now and Baltimore still has no jobs. Food stamps are essentially at record levels per capita since the Great Depression. What are we supposed to do, collectively, as a nation to help out these folks from an economic point of view? All the usual options of taxation, handouts, public sector jobs, government-sponsored community action, and the like have already been exhausted.
This brings me to my point about government. It's time for certain folks who find themselves in these predicaments to not rely on government because obviously they can't save you. As dark as it may sound, they are on their own, and nothing is going to change that other than working hard for themselves and creating feasible markets with each other. Instead of blaming everyone else for their problems, take ownership and learn some skills or trades. Instead of committing crimes, start legitimate businesses within your community. If someone tries to loot your store, blow their damn heads across the inner harbor. Nothing is going to change on the path we're on if all these "protestors" and "activists" think government will solve anything. It's up to the individual, just like it always has been (unless you're a leechfuck like Hilary and other circle jerkers in government).
Are you making cracks about Baltimore, being from Boston?
If Baltimore took your approach, there would be SWAT Teams breaking down the glass to Free Willy at the National Aquarium.
