I am not, not anyone one I know, condoning looting or burning. Very very few people are. The protest went from from a fairly peaceful one, to looting and rioting, when the Rambo cops, the very ones they don't trust, the ones they are protesting against, showed up and started treating it like a war zone. The people who did the looting, were the minority, the majority of the protesters, the community, and the movement, suffered for it. For god sake a state senator were tear gassed, tear gas was shot at people sitting on their own front yards. Imagine Op, 10 years from now when Social Security fails, the senior citizens revolt at your private old folks village. Your pissed about it, but you minding your own business sitting on your front lawn, talking to your state senator about it with a great-grandkid on your knee. Then Rambo cop shows up and hits you all with tear gas, 5 seconds after you were told to "disperse". Some other old folks were walking down the street angry about it, so people my age, who are paying into a system we never collected from and only paid into, against our will, celebrate, Those old bastards had it coming we say. I don't wish such an outcome on you. I'm only trying to warn you if you militarize the police that story could very likely become reality one day.
