    at least this explains why he didn't come forward publicly when he wrote the original piece... "tell all from DHS Chief of Staff" isn't exactly a headline catcher

    I think we end up discussing looting every time it happens but what I will say about it is that it’s a symptom of the overall problem. Obviously, if we had justice in this country there wouldn’t be any looting and violence at protests to begin with, so the way to fix this problem is to fix the problem that led to this.

    I don’t condone looting, I will never do it myself. I don’t think it’s the way to go about things. But the focus shouldn’t be on that, it has to be on fixing the system that causes the violence and looting at these protests to take place.

    This is it. Looting and destruction blindly eh not a fan, hit the capitalists where it really hurts. Do you think the waltons gaf if a walgreens gets looted?

    Given that most capital is held on to digitally, cyber crime and cyber looting would be far far far more effective.

    anyone who tells you looting is anything but people taking back what the ruling class has continually stolen from them is a cop

    Isn’t that the same as iTunes? Technically I don’t “own” the hundreds of songs i bought on there

    Go ahead enlighten me as to when you think looting is acceptable and unacceptable. Based on your previous posts I’m sure it will be full of great insight.

    When voting and peaceful protesting doesn’t work to fix the issues, what other option is there? In your opinion?

    This is how I feel as well, great post. My post was very simplistic, I just find it idiotic when people are straight-up anti riots no matter what.
