Ninga's JournalBasta! Enough! I intend to push back on the sanctimonious hit and run "riot" comments.
From neighbors, family, whom ever engages in eye rolling on this topic.

A quick roundup of things to say to Saltine Americans clutching their pearls over rioting and looting:
1) “Rioting never solves anything!”
This country was founded on rioting (and looting). The colonists didn’t politely ask to be independent — they started a war. Gays threw a brick. Black people rioted all over this country. Please let go of that falsehood and pick up a history book.
2) “Rioting just gives people a reason not to support your cause.”
Only if you equate property damage to human lives, and in that case, were you really supporting our cause anyway? If all it takes is people stealing from Target for you to say “well…now I don’t care about dead Black people” then why are we even speaking?
