Conservatives automatically assume

If Black people riot, it’s “BLM”
If white people riot, it’s “antifa”

The goal is to demean these groups via guilt by association. It doesn’t matter if the “rioters” are in fact local gangs having no connection to BLM or white gangs like the Proud Boys not connected to antifa, and in some places, even fighting with antifa.

@QuixoticSoul Ding Ding Ding! Winner.

“Innocent bystander” 😂. If he wasn’t in the joint right now he’d be looking at a prime time speaking spot at the RNC along with the Missouri couple.

@kodiac So we are talking about a larping teen from out of state.

@kodiac The idea that business owners may want to protect their only means of feeding their families is a ludicrous far right idea, get the program GAWD 😂

@kodiac I don't get how people don't realize that when they burn cars and what not, there could be people inside them. All it takes is one mistake. "Just dumb teens" or not isn't really the issue, it's their actions and what could happen. One guy lost his life due to rioters burning down a building, why don't people have empathy for that person? He got lit on fire and got his life taken away from him. Sure, they could just be teens but teens commit crimes so there's that.

That dude was a looter himself 🤷‍♂️

SatanBurger · 36-40, F

@QuixoticSoul Nope. Maybe so many people have been killed it's hard to keep track but all the news stories I look up just now said that the guy was found months after the rioters had set fire to the building. The found the body in the back, charred. He was in there when it was burned and nobody said a thing about him being a looter.

@SatanBurger Maybe they just didn't connect the dots for you - but think about it for a second. Dude was not the owner or an employee, and his body was found in a cosed-for-pandemic business that was looted and burned. Dude was there looting, his fellow looters accidentally did him in.

SatanBurger · 36-40, F

@QuixoticSoul Ah I looked up the name of the Pawn Shop in question, people had been looting it before the place was even on fire so if they hadn't been looting, nobody would have been dead. That explains it, it's still sad though. I'm glad that person who did that is rotting in prison right now.
