I can't blame them for it, but I think it's a damn shame and sad nonetheless. No kids, SO, job. I will say it seems like people didn't really take BLM seriously until recent events, though.

No. Anyone who does is a monster. Even excluding the possibility setting a building or car on fire could lead to the death of someone unknowingly inside or a firefighter attempting to put it out, they're otherwise damaging and ruining the livelihood of others at the benefit of nothing.

No. Because a majority of the time, they are adversely affecting people that have nothing to do with it. Like why destroy a mom and pop shop?

Nope
Analogous to "would you imprison an innocent man to prevent a guilty man from walking free?" Imo Im somewhat ok at property damage if it is something relevant like damaging a cop car in an anti cop protest. Not ok with innocent businesses being damaged. That said im pretty sure history supports non violent protests as being consistently more effective, so its really not in the protestors best interests either --- These old bones live to learn her wanton ways: (I measure time by how a body sways). ...

The media gives more coverage to property destruction. A lot of news consumption is based on stoking fears. "Yup, everything is fine" doesn't generate revenue. It could be able a severe weather event, or a lot of things associated with COVID. A lot of people who gobble up shit and spam f5 are anxious. You could have a protest with 200,000 people and the media* will focus on a broken window from 1 protester. *not a monolith, and in the era of twitter just about everything is "news".

Do it to high end establishments and government buildings. at what degree of wealth do you lose the right to not have your shit burned down, and how do the protestors know who's shit to burn down? vigilante/mob justice isn't justice, and supporting it is directly at odds with any goal of equal justice. --- These old bones live to learn her wanton ways: (I measure time by how a body sways). ...

Yes when directed at relevant targets (in this case, police precincts, court houses, other various buildings involved in the criminal justice system that we're trying to reform) or when the cops provoke the violence by instigating otherwise peaceful protesters by gassing them or shooting at them.
Otherwise, no. If you're only there to loot random stores or to be violent from the start, you're not helping the cause. --- "WHAT THE HELL'S GOIN' ON OUT HERE!?" ~ Vince Lombardi https://imgur.com/rDu2AJS ... Copied to Clipboard!

I was hoping for something a bit more specific. gotcha - I would have to ask you for evidence that violent revolution is justified at the moment. i think the case for 1776 is stronger than for 2020 on moral grounds. i think it was more uniformly believed in 1776 that violent revolution was justified i think there were legal rules on the books which people could point to and say it justified violent revolution otherwise we have politicians who can literally change laws we dont like. not doing it? vote for someone else. not enough people agree with you to vote in enough people to make the change you want? welcome to democracy. ...

The only people losing out are the bourgeois insurance companies.Let's just assume we're talking about only large companies with empty buildings: Employees missing out on necessary hours while it is closed. The employees of the company who may lose their jobs if the location moves or closes. Local vendors who rely on the company buying from them.
