Kind of a ranty post

My feeling on the looting going on is that I'm tired of looting being the central issue. That's not me defending looters across the board; motherfuckers on discord organizing u-hauls to rob stores and not saying a damn thing about George Floyd is not OK. The protesters are beginning to rail against this too because they know their platform is being muddled.

But if all you're doing is talking about looting, you got taken. That's just the fact. It's a Republican talking point that is further incited by the opposition. They can organize just like we can, and if you give them that satisfaction, you are a pawn.

The biggest mistake that the police are making is attacking the protesters and media instead of guarding storefronts from masked white motherfuckers. They shouldn't be anywhere near the protesters. But the sad fact is that they like it. They like beating up on the unarmed and getting easy victories. They see them as the enemy. The looters are stirring up discord in a way that benefits their cause, so why prioritize them?

All of this is to say, I'd just be really bummed out if the legacy of these historic protests is damage to storefronts. Keep pushing, keep working, keep spreading knowledge. We can make it happen this time.
