Oh God. I had just quit my job before the pandemic so I ended up watching all those live streams. Also I’m on the East Coast so I was up till like 4am. Regardless of the political side anyone I knew talking about the protests would just say stupid shit the news spun. Like I’d see it live and they would try to tell me what happened.
Two wild things I remember aside from the regular protest area…
Someone tossing a Molotov… But it didn’t go far enough and some kids’ shoes caught fire.
The scared army fatigued gun range owner that was tossing pipe bombs at kids in the park, then ran away.
Also in Atlanta a group of crips ran up on another gang in the area while people were protesting near Wendy’s. A young girl got shot in the leg next to the streaming.
Kids = 16-35yo
I’m not saying this to deter protesting. I mean these things weren’t a part of the regular protest anyway.
Also… It was clearly gang oriented looting. Away from the protests and smashing what was most likely jacked cars into the front of stores.
People are so naive and stupid. America is HEAVY with real authentic crime but people want to blame blacks and gays that are just trying to live. Like goddamn only 60% average for nationwide murders solved. People have a 40% chance to murder and stay free. America’s fucked.
Let me guess, you tell people Portland “burned down.”
