I've been to this establishment when visiting family and it was a fun environment with a lot of really cool people. This place was completely decimated and every single PC, XBOX, PS4 and piece of equipment either stolen or destroyed. The owners stated that they probably won't be able to rebuild.

Who will the business/property owners that got their stuff destroyed/burned/looted blame for their loss, the rioters or the police?

Be that as it may, anyone who condemns these looters for this gets met with fierce opposition and sarcastic comments about valuing property over social justice.

Yes, there are people who seem more upset about the rioting than the reason behind protests, but stories like this are fucking sad.
I dont think anyone is praising the looters in the name of social justice. Theyre just calling out people who are grouping the looters in with the protesters in an attempt to undermine the cause (like TC did). Ultimately it never should have gotten to this point. People have peacefully protested and all they got was muh troops shut up and dribble! At the end of the day property loss should not matter more than life lost. Those who are upset about a gaming cafe being looted should care more about what caused these protests, not trying to paint the protesters as bad guys by using opportunistic looters.

The looting has nothing to do with murders committed by police. People who say otherwise are regurgitating a narrative that has since changed.

Because that will likely have consequences and the rioters/looters don't want that. They want free and easy stuff.

I think its the fact that like 99% of people complaining about the rioting lump them all in with the protests and its getting to be annoying.

Yes, the people looting are terrible people and its sad to see businesses go up in flames, but the people crying crocodile tears about it need to shut the fuck up, because they dont care about the destruction; they just want to bitch about the protests and its an easy way to do it.

This is justified civil disobedience maybe if you guys would stop enabling our current racist sociey to exist you would have your little game room. No looting or rioting has been committed just people exercising their first amendment right to peacefully protest and practice civil disobedience. And insurance will cover it anyway so who cares.
