I'm going to try to answer this nicely, but after this, I'm pretty much done with you.
Because you keep using some broken windows as an excuse to ingore the real problem, Police Misconduct.
Actually, the thing is, white people ONLY pay attention to this stuff when their stuff is getting burned. Take LA. Nobody paid attention to the cops beating Rodney King... they even acquitted the thugs on the first go round. Then we had riots, and they GOT action. The Police Cheif was fired and the cops were tried in front of a black jury.
Actually, I put in the the same category A fire happens because you let an unsafe situation occur. A flood happens because you were stupid enough to build on a flood plain. A riot happens because you spent decades ignoring legitimate complaints.
Oh, I know how insurance companies are, but when I complain about how my experiences with Cigna changed my views on health care, you guys all dismiss it. But the point is, they have insurance. In some cases the riots are a blessing. They were probably already struggling due to the plague. Now they can cash out their failed businesses.
I doubt anyone condones it. "Not shooting a black person because of a broken window" might make racists like you unhappy, but let's not forget, WE ARE HERE BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE FORCE.
Nope. If Trump had taken positive action on either the plague or the riots, things wouldn't be so bad. Trump does what he does best- Take a bad situation and make it worse.
The thing was, the Ferguson riots were limited to Ferguson... they weren't national riots.
As for Trump, had he taken quicker action, and not LIED about how serious it was, we'd have probably ended quarrentine a lot earlier. This is exactly what the Europeans did.
Again, the rioters destroyed insured property. Rittenhouse murdered people. The thug cops murdered people.
The real problem, people like you and Mormon Bob consider white property more important than black lives. And then you scratch your big monkey craniums and wonder why you have riots.
Since the Feds murdered that guy before we ever heard his side of the story, I guess we'll never know. Frankly, it sounded more like an execution than an arrest.
Rittenhouse was a high-school dropout with a long history of violence. He's a little piece of shit who was always going to end up hurting someone.
Uh, no, I'm only posting here for my own entertainment... If a link interests me, I'll post it. I really don't need to post "proof" of Trump's racism, that's been well established. Yesterday he was in White minnesota telling the rednecks about their "good genes" and about how he's blocking more black refugees from Somalia. Not posting a link to that, either.
And I'm more or less done with you. MOving on to making fun of Mormon Bob.
So why did my bringing it up elicit such an acid and hateful response from you? Why was your first reaction to label me a racist and presume to tell me I don't care? You care (a little bit) about the businesses being burned out but if I point it out and condemn it, I'm the racist. Go figure.
Because you keep using some broken windows as an excuse to ingore the real problem, Police Misconduct.
It wouldn't be happening if the rioters and protesters had stayed focused on the issue of black men being killed by cops and not strayed into anti-capitalism and erroneously viewing business owners as part of the problem.

This is something you say when a business is damaged or destroyed by fire or flood, not when a bunch of thugs torch it deliberately and indiscriminately. This is the utmost in arrogant selfishness. Especially considering that it wasn't your business that was destroyed.

Anyway, no, they won't be fine. You know how insurance companies are. Most will give the absolute minimum payout which might help the owners recoup some of the loss of liquid assets but I expect that in many cases, it will not be enough to actually get the business going again.

On top of that, cities like Seattle announcing that they are cutting funding to the police has forced some businesses there to close permanently or move because with reduced law enforcement presence, insurance companies either will not insure anymore or will render the policies useless in the event of rioting or crime. And unfortunately, the city has made it all too clear that they condone looting and burning.
I doubt anyone condones it. "Not shooting a black person because of a broken window" might make racists like you unhappy, but let's not forget, WE ARE HERE BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE FORCE.
Has it not occurred to you that had not the rioters been defying pandemic and social distancing protocols to gather in masses in the streets to loot and burn, your so called "Trump Plague" might not have been as bad? And perhaps some of those businesses would still be open and operating?
Nope. If Trump had taken positive action on either the plague or the riots, things wouldn't be so bad. Trump does what he does best- Take a bad situation and make it worse.
Nope. Sorry, but looters and burners don't get to use a pandemic as an excuse. Besides, it certainly doesn't explain why the Ferguson riots were so bad. Another thing, if the intensity and violence of the riots could be attributed to folks being cooped up for a long time then any quicker action taken by Trump would have exacerbated the situation by requiring people to be cooped up even longer.
The thing was, the Ferguson riots were limited to Ferguson... they weren't national riots.

Again, you don't get to use a pandemic as an excuse to commit an act you know is illegal. If you get to use stress as an excuse for looting and burning then cops can use it as an excuse for shooting people in tense situations. You can't have it both ways.
Again, the rioters destroyed insured property. Rittenhouse murdered people. The thug cops murdered people.
The real problem, people like you and Mormon Bob consider white property more important than black lives. And then you scratch your big monkey craniums and wonder why you have riots.
You are aware of the fact that protesters brought guns and other weapons to the CHAZ, right? Are you also aware of the Antifa thug killing the Trump supporter? Were you equally critical of that guy? Did you mention it or condemn it at all or did you not give it a second thought? I'm betting you did none of those things.
Since the Feds murdered that guy before we ever heard his side of the story, I guess we'll never know. Frankly, it sounded more like an execution than an arrest.
Also, you're quick to chalk up the riots to pent up frustration over lack of action on police reforms and you excuse it for that reason and say it was inevitable. Well, the Kyle Rittenhouse case is the exact same thing but in the other direction. Rittenhouse was there to help protect a business from rioters. Ask me why. Because of the frustration of business owners at the inaction of the city and state to do anything about the destruction. If the riots were inevitable then any response to that is inevitable.
Rittenhouse was a high-school dropout with a long history of violence. He's a little piece of shit who was always going to end up hurting someone.
Their responses to evidence and links are irrelevant. It is your duty when you make a claim to support it.
