Yup. That's what just happened there.

Edit: no sarcasm here btw. Just realized it read that way somewhat

Holy shit, I assumed that was some parody thing, but it's real and he even doubled down on it. Fucking hell. If you're going to be insane enough to support wanton violence, at least be willing to have your own house burned to the ground.

At the same time, some veterans and 2nd amendment supporters are now joining in with the protesters.

Money will start making you conservative. When I started making close to six figures yearly my mindset also changed to a more conservative viewpoint.

But like fuck it. If my house/car/personal items burn down, but my family was safe, and it ended up changing the country for the better. I can make those sacrifices and insurance will replace what I had.

I read through a bunch of those dudes tweets earlier and someone said he cant just be pro this and then completely change sides when it gets near him and his response was along the lines of

you bet your ass I can

Stark contrast to an Indian restaurant owner who told a friend that while he was upset his restaurant burnt down, he knows he can rebuild and supports the fight for justice. Thats a real American.

You can but you better be able to eloquently state that you saw the error of your ways

Can't find the quote but I saw someone saying that the Target CEO said the store in MN that got gutted, could be rebuilt easily while the lives lost couldn't be replaced. (something to the effect)

Awesome that you're not attached to material things, but there's literally no logic in people attacking personal stuff like that, even in the spirit of demonstrated unrest.

You're talking about the roof over your head and car that may be needed to scour resources if they didn't burn down every market in sight and ruined distribution routes. If they only do superficial damage, that's just a waste of everyone's time. And rectifying that leans on whether dealerships/service shops/contractors are not compromised.

Yeah I'm outlining some extreme worst case scenario stuff, but people really have no place to do that to your essentials.

I wonder if he had that same attitude if his restaurant wasn't insured for riot damage.

Two sides of the same coin.

I'm wondering how many people are going to see other sides of arguments due to all of this.

Ah, he said damn not ass. I knew it was a cuss word type of word.

Well see if and when all these stops. Anything short of wishing awfulness on people I kinda think right now we have to be a little lenient with what people are saying with just how many emotions are rolling and how much is changing daily. A lot of frustrated (rightfully so) people, on all sides, during this and you cant be mad if theyre finally letting some aggressions out.

kinda weird that you are curious and wondering about that. why assume the worst of him? all we know is what did happen, and what happened is he said he fully supports the protest regardless...I see no reason to wonder anything beyond that unless you want to make him look bad to prove some sort of point that doesn't exist.

Kick this guy out of the NBA honestly, shame him into hiding. He clearly values his property over black lives. He needs to represent and not concern himself about cosmetic things and personal belongings. Blatant racism, through and through. They need to treat him the same as the police that take human lives.

What spineless piece of shit lies on social media and then does a complete 180 when it effects their "stuff?"

It's a travesty if he isn't immediately shunned from ever playing again.

NIMBYism at its finest

I mean, the point of rioting is to strike at the government that wronged you, not victimize your neighbours or whoever else is in your boat. So I kan understand the non-hypocritical side of being happy about some city building burning and not houses in your neighbourhood. But I don't really know what that building was about and the guy seems to have a reputation for being an ass anyway, so whatever.

Chris Martin Palmer is leading in the Clown of the Year award. I hope he gets it!

Nah, Trump is ahead by far. And he is so good at it that he's a menace to BOTH parties.

They could at least take away his Twitter account so that he at least doesn't completely smear the name of his party with his antics.
