I could find it easy to support rioters if they destroyed the right things....
 Foot locker? Some small business? Why not destroy BART stations or the police station or the transit headquarters.

That's why I like the rioters that trash banks. Even street riots should have a purpose.

10. Wish our government didn't have a nasty habit of sending in provacateurs
 Wish it was simple enough to point the finger at 'the menacing crowd' and know that they were actually reponsible.
Whenever I hear reports of property destruction during riots I always wonder 'who knows..'
Sometimes things are what they seem and sometimes they aren't, so who knows...
Hearing the report on DemocracyNow! vs reading some ridiculously biased report from the San Francisco, it was two different worlds.
The voice of the mother of the dead man impressed me with her dignity during this devastating time.
Hearing the voice of one of the protestors talking about how she lives and works in this neighborhood whereas the police that were there live somewhere else in the suburbs and drive in, how they showed up in riot gear after a while and changed the tune telling everyone to disperse..it left a little different impression. Is the new mode to let the 'little people' complain quietly for a couple of hours in the daytime, then when the mix shifts away from the families and toward the young or the radical, find a reason to shut it down.
The Pinkertons have been super-sized.
 

Charming bunch.

Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

I could support the rioters too.......if after they burn a city down the government put a fence around them and the city and made them live in the mess they made.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

I suppose it's only fair, many on the opposite side could find it easy to machinegun rioters.  Of course, I would never give in to such an evil impulse myself, cough cough...

I don't think some primitives would like that idea.

There are trust-fund primitives who after all live in gated communities.

One of them being the kaput primitive, the "kpete" primitive.

And other primitives whom I disremember at the moment.

Only if it is more ammo than you can carry....

Other than that, NO!

How can destroying banks and gated communities help anything? Police Stations? This post is beyond ridiculous. And it is a shame that people would get on board with that OP. Go right ahead. Destroy away. And when you get arrested, go ahead and whine about how corrupt cops are treating you unfairly.

In certain living arrangements, that's kinda tough to do.
