I’m sick to the back teeth of hearing people sympathise with these riots and justify them with “Just let them vent their outrage!”. The targets of that outrage are also innocent people, especially black business owners who provide jobs and hope to people in impoverished black communities. Property values will plummet because of these riots, because prospective buyers will be scared off by the instability, so any blacks who actually owned their own home are now going to lose out financially. Same goes for black business owners like that fireman.
How does burning your own city to the ground fix anything? George Floyd would never have wanted this.
“But properties can be rebuilt by insurance!”
Insurance companies will often try to weasel their way out of paying insurance, and not all businesses are insured. Furthermore, taxpayers are probably going to be expected to pay for some of this damage. These taxpayers did absolutely nothing to deserve being out of pocket.
These hypocrites make me sick. They gnash their teeth when an innocent black man is wrongfully murdered, and then shrug when other innocent people are also victimised. “Ehh, it’s just property, bro”. Anyone who claims to support the rights of the innocent and turns a blind eye to this looting is a liar, period.
