Racism In Rioting: Whose Business Do You Direct The Rioters To Destroy?
Ron Nixon writes in The New York Times of (awww!) gang members -- Crips and Bloods -- coming together to drive rioters to non-black-owned businesses:
He described how he and some Bloods members stood in front of stores that they knew were black-owned business, to protect them from looting and vandalism. He said they made sure no black youths, or reporters, were injured by rioters.Instead, he said, they pointed the rioters toward Chinese- and Arab-owned stores.
Ugly.
And very likely the stores of immigrants, who came to this country with nothing.

O.M.G.!! Gang members acting like gang members. Seriously, this may be their first attempts at crowd control. They be protecting the brothers but can't see that Abdul and Chin Wang are also part of the 'hood. Again, limited imagination.

If they had brains they would figure out why their neighborhoods have only liquor stores. Instead it's easier to put it down to racist behavior.

On the other hand, I commented to my wife that the Asian who owns the store where the camera footage reflects the unreported stop made by the paddy wagon probably just gained a whole bunch of new best friends. I suspect that anyone who robs his store in the future just signed his own death warrant, courtesy of the gangs.

my feminism is intersectional or it is bullshit, and these guys were rioting up, so all is okay.
If these men had gone after college girl owned stores or maybe even minority transgender women owned lesbian stores well that would have been rioting down.
They didn't do that, so all is good.

Who cares? You didn't build that, somebody else made that happen.

The very best thing about the Obama era is all the racial healing.

What they fail to understand is that there will be no black-owned business to replace Abdul or Chin Wang's stores. The neighborhood will simply no longer have that business in it.

Lynch mobs marching Baltimore; Sympathic riots in Seattle; Cop shot in the head in Queens; And, on American colleges people stomping on the American Flag because it represents racism.
Meanwhile, in Iraq, from which enlightened leaders decided the U.S. should do a cut and run, ISIS executed 300 to 600 Christians and posted it on YouTube.
Before long, the American Whiners are going to get to see, and experience, what real evil is like. You can watch the videos, already.
