Why target Target?

Based on what we have seen so far, I can understand that anger over Floyd's death. Like all of these stories, I am still waiting for all of the information to come out. But, as it stands, it would appear that the police acted inappropriately and were rightly fired and likely will face charges.

So while the anger is understandable and I have no problem with protests, what I don't understand is the looting and destruction of their own communities?

Why loot Target? What did Target do? Did they harbor the guilty police officers?

How does walking out of Target with five flat screen TVs make anything right for George?

As far as I can tell, Target has a lot of left wing sensibilities. They were one of the first places to open up their stores to the tranny movement with their bathrooms. The odd thing is Target is headquartered in Minneapolis.

The last question is why do these things happen predominantly in places run by democrats? Minneapolis hasn't had a Republican Mayor since 1973. Democrats own the entire Twin Cities. Why aren't these things happening in the South?

Target is a Minneapolis company with a lot of highly paid people on the payroll living in the area and yet in the opinion of many blacks Minneapolis has long been hostile to blacks......this is about what corporate responsibility should look like according to the victims.

Target is big. More people can get in at the same time thus reducing the chance of law enforcement being able to control the
outcome......more chaos, the better. Go into a small mom & pop store makes it easy to be apprehended.
 
What in the world??? Did you see how many protestors weren't wearing masks? And no social distance ...Where is the outcry


But idiots throw a fit 25 people go to church without a mask on
I was shocked they weren’t wearing masks or distancing, not smart at all.
 
A little story:

My aunt and uncle were hard core lefties, in fact my Uncle was one of the top leaders of the Student Rebellion at UW Madison during the late 60's. Also, my aunt dropped a cinder block on my uncles foot so that he would not have to serve in the military (his number came up). They had lived in Milwaukee a bunch of years then around 1988 they moved to Minneapolis. They on purpose decided to move to an area with a lot of blacks, because they wanted diversity. They then watched over 20 years as the hood continued to decline. They were hardy people but finally they had to throw in the towel, they no longer felt safe....they sold their house for less than they paid for it on an inflation adjusted basis...they were heart broken. My aunt is still alive and still sad, because even she, a still very hard core lefty....believes that the blacks failed to take advantage of their opportunities to make their lives better.

I said yesterday in a different thread that the police started this problem with the blacks, but upon reflection I need to take it back. Minneapolis blacks going all the way back to the early 90's have failed to perform.
 
He was convicted for the crime, what are we suppose to be outraged about, seems justice was served.

Just like week a thug [yes, a thug] filmed himself beating up a helpless old man and not only did nothing happen it’s gone down the memory hole.

Reverse the races and watch what happens. We have a race problem in this country—it’s just not the one Dr. King envisioned.
 
When Alton Sterling was killed in Baton Rouge while going for his gun resisting arrest, the citizens there didn't burn and loot their neighborhoods.

Well of course that isn't going to happen every single time the cops kill a black person. If it did, people would never stop looting.
 
Looting animals looting a pawn shop..yeah this is all about justice my fanny, this is about getting “Free stuff”
 
Goddamn, what is this, a Klan rally?

I've never seen so many ignorant comments in one place. Do any of you have even a basic education about the history of oppression of black people in America?

Unarmed blacks are 4.5x more likely to be shot by police than unarmed whites. Black people are systematically targeted by cops, and whole generations were incarcerated during the drug war (even though drug use and sales was just as high among the white population). Their attempts to get justice through due process are consistently spurned. This murderous cop still walks free.

Why didn't whites riot when a white woman was killed by a black cop? Because whites have ACCESS TO JUSTICE. They're listened to.

Blacks are not. If you cannot get justice no matter how nicely you ask, what do you do next? Demand, violently. All of you fragile pussies would be out there throwing bottles (well those of you who aren't in wheelchairs and posting from your trailers in Arkansas) if the shoe were on the other foot.
 
Why should they, he was arrested and brought to justice.

July 15, 2017 she was killed

February 2018, a grand jury was convened to investigate her death

6 months later!


So did whites riot loot and burn down bushiness and homes a DAY OR SO AFTER the killing?

It seems that whites can rely on the government to enforce laws in their behalf while others who are less pigmentally challenged seem a little less sure of that. Why do you think that might be?

Blacks commit over 50% of all murders in USA


blacks commit homicide at eight times the rate of whites and Hispanics combined … In the 75 largest counties of the United States, which is where most of the population resides, blacks commit over 50 percent of all violent crime, though they’re 15 percent of the population

Yes, that’s how it works. By the way, there were protests, and the Chief of Police was fired.

During those protests were there riots? It seems we are going in circles here. I understand, absolutely, why they might protest. However just saying it was "boys being boys" when folks riot and steal rather than protest isn't better.

What they are doing is wrong. It doesn't help, and it provides fodder for racist jackasses.
