If they burn it they can live in their own ash.
Initially, I agreed with this. At first, I thought "boy, if I were a business owner, you could not pay me to put a store in those neighborhoods".
And I stand by that. I have no interest in living or working or visiting Lake Street. I have been there before, but not again.
However, there ARE people living there. There are people there, who abide by the law, and are trying to raise a family, make a living, have a piece of the American Dream.
If all you believe, is all what you see on FB and the news, you are missing the bigger picture.
This is the juicy catastrophe-of-the-week, being fed to us by MSM. Guywhofishes is right.
How about if during NODAPL, the rest of the country thought everybody here in Central ND was an oil-hating protestor?
How about if we told them that the protesters were getting backup from all around the country, and protesters were being shipped in, if nobody believed us?
Don't get me wrong. Looters are among the worst, in my book. They are chicken-shit scum, who simply take advantage of the anarchy. But the looters, and arsonists, and vandals are not Minneapolis. That's not all that live there. blacks make up 20% of the population there, and only a small number of them are looting. I mean, watch the videos, there're white people throwing rocks too.
At this point though, the national guard needs to be posted. Martial Law needs to be introduced. Curfews need to be put in place, and enforced.
Part of the problem now, is that the police hardly dare shoot anyone. If they shot to save their precinct, the lawyers would tear them apart for saving a building.
