Why would anyone cry over looted luxury items from big brands like Tesla or Saks Fifth Avenue? Tesla don’t make a profit anyway, so I’m sure it won’t affect them.

Because this hurts EVERYBODY and people who you say “cry” over this behavior are not self-destructive and it hurts them to watch people who ARE self-destructive act out in various ways.

I’m confused…so there was looting of stores on the Magnificent Mile? The damage and theft was fake news?

Are crimes not crimes when you dont like the victim? I could get behind that game if that’s the rules we’re going to play by.

Maybe because when those places close, people will lose their jobs?
Maybe because we will need to tax ourselves more heavily to support law and order if these rates of vandalism continue?
Maybe because resources are diverted to deal with the vandalism which could otherwise be spent improving things (such as the highway system around Chicago) which would have positive multiplier effects at both local and national scales?

What is or isn’t a crime is defined by law. Looting and vandalism are certainly crimes, I didn’t deny that.

A local activist:
" Social media stardom took Joseph Williams by surprise. The South Side community activist doesn’t even have a Twitter account.
But a college student’s video of Williams]( ) talking about how he and other local volunteers defused tensions at the site of the police shooting Sunday in Englewood has garnered more than 125,000 views, with comments such as “Good man right here” and “If you want to know what’s happened in Chicago, here is a great eye witness.”
“I feel good that we were able to shine a light on some of the truth, because there are always two sides to the story,” said Williams, 31, founder of the children’s literacy nonprofit Mr. Dad’s Father’s Club.
“I feel good to be able to share some of the intel from the boots on the ground. I was excited to tell people about how we came together as organizers and activists to help protect that community.”…
What’s clear, said Kishonna Gray, a University of Illinois at Chicago assistant professor of communication, and gender and women’s studies, is that we’re hearing voices that wouldn’t have had a platform 30 years ago, when a few mainstream news reports would have sketched out the facts of the case.
“Instead what happens is I can go to Twitter, and at the top of my Twitter feed is this Black man who is giving more context to the situation,” Gray said.
“We had to at least engage (with him), even if we wanted to diminish the things he was saying or go toward a different way of receiving information. The fact that we had to see him and had to engage with him — I think that’s one of the benefits of receiving messages from social media.”
Erroneous social media reports bothered some observers, including Williams, a married father of five whose youngest child wants to be a police officer. Williams said that false social media reports hurt his neighbors, who were very upset by them, and they hurt the neighborhood-based police commander who helped local organizers get the situation under control after disputes with officers brought in from another district…
Williams told the Tribune that he was looking for a Netflix movie to watch with his 5-year-old son Sunday when he learned of the shooting. He raced over to the crime scene, where he and about 10 other community organizers and activists tried to keep the crowd of neighbors calm and get them good information about the shooting.
In the video, he criticizes police for kicking a man in the face, leaving blood on the sidewalk. A Chicago Police Department spokesperson said only that citizens with complaints can bring them to the police or internal affairs.
Williams also complains in the video that police ripped a young man’s shirt, chased people and tried to punch people.
The crowd was fairly quiet but concerned before the man was kicked by a police officer, Williams told the Tribune. After that, there was more tension."

Interesting. Support for jailed looters. 40 juveniles have been killed in gun violence in Chicago so far this year. Since June 20, five children under the age of 11 were shot and killed in Chicago. Question. When will BLM Chicago hold a rally in support for these innocent children who are routinely gunned down by the ruthless thugs who apparently rule the city streets?

RidgeSprinter ignores the fact the the MSM fed the leftists bogus “Russian Collusion” fantasies for three years.
Then complains about Breitbart (who got it right).
Too funny.

I think the date for that is the same date on behalf of the murdered pre-born black children dying en-mass daily.
The 12th of never.

I am just as curious about the Republicans . . .
Are the Republicans advocating doing away with bail?
Are they advocating letting prisoners go?
Are they advocating for felons to vote?
Are they advocating to defund the police?
But then again, there are leftist Republicans too.
And I have posted plenty of “ire” against them too.
I would suggest focusing on cities being destroyed instead of what you perceive to be Cathoholic’s “ire”.
The thread is not about me Hume.
