  1.  @missjay188  An eye for an eye was the idea that if someone takes out your eye, you take out their eye, not that if someone takes your eye, you take the eye of a random innocent business owner or someone who shares their profession five states away.

  2. Martin Luther King succeeded WILDLY, though. When he was alive, the country was virulently racist. 20 years later, his birthday was a holiday. So what's your argument, that people should riot to avoid getting assassinated?

  3.  @chownful  How about the fact that segregation became fucking illegal?

  4. A cop kills someone, so people who had nothing to do with murder are made to suffer. Wonderful cause and effect there.

  5. When the living fuck did Malcolm X endorse burning down and looting random businesses?

  6. What are you talking about? A riot has followed just about every black man killed by the cops. The only difference here is the scope and scale. MAYBE the solution isn't to make your methods more drastic, but more appropriate? How the fuck is it 3 random officers in Baton Rogue and 5 random officers in Dallas are dead, but the cops who killed all those people you mentioned are still alive. Justice is the marriage of actions to consequences, a system where people who COMMIT THE CRIME suffer, not random innocents. No one is more against the idea of justice than these protestors.

  7. Jesus Christ if I see this comment one more damn time...when did Malcolm X call for looting and vandilizing innocent businesses?

  8. Bullshit, every time a black man has been unjustly killed by the police there's been a riot. This is just larger in scale.

  9. Martin Luther King succeeded wildly. When he started his campaign the country was virulently racist, yet 20 years later he had his own holiday. Also, show me where Malcolm X supported vandalizing random businesses and indiscriminate violence.

  11. It's toddlers throwing a temper tantrum. They are making no distinction between the guilty and innocent, it's just mindless violence.

  12. Bullshit. After just about every black man killed by the cops there's been a riot. This is just larger in scale.

  13. No one is more against the idea of justice than these protestors. Justice is marriage of action to consequences. It's when people who commit crimes are made to suffer, not random innocents. If they really believed in justice they'd be vandalizing the houses of those 4 cops, not random businesses and the cars of policemen five states over. If these protestors are appeased, this will become the new normal for solving problems, and justice will become a thing of the past.

  17. When it sprays all over YOU? The cops who actually did wrong haven't recieved a scratch from all this. Only random innocents have suffered.

  18.  @Agape-Noon  That tea was owned by the British East India Company, ie the crown. They weren't destroying random people's businesses.

  19. No one is against protest. They are against indiscriminate violence.

  20. Why? It wasn't police in Atlanta that killed George Floyd.

  21. It wasn't the police in her state who killed George Floyd.

  22. Ghandi and Martin Luther King would like to have a word with you.

  23. Yet he still succeeded wildly, so what the fuck is your point? That people should riot to avoid getting assassinated?

  24.  @bjvu9460  For fucks sake, using violence is not the same as indiscriminate savagery. Did the Founding Fathers burn down and loot businesses of people who had done them no wrong? Toussaint Louverture was a black man who used violence to free his people and no one regards him as a historical villain, because he understood the difference.

  25. Some people have filthy, diseased, maggot infested hearts and just look for an excuse to harm their fellow man.
