Telling the rioters "you are destroying your city" isn't going to convince them to stop. Anyone with no attachment to their city, nothing to lose other than their lives, no care for anyone else, well, things like that will happen. Like someone said, the rioters have nothing to lose. Chances are, the terminally unemployable are among them.

I guess she's a raaaa-cist eh?
She messed up Big Time and knows it - she will claim the word 'thugs' was taken totally out of context ..... the standard Leftist excuse. Just as she did with her words at her press conference on Sat.

I never said it justified their actions. I am saying "it is what it is" in this case. I'm saying telling they're destroying their city won't stop them. Nothing to lose. How do you handle anyone who has nothing to lose?

The rioter don not care and they want a piece of someone. The Kicker is they do have a very integrated Government heavy on Black Mayor and counsel . A Black Police chief. There is no excuse. If you listen to the looters.

So this far from a White Man Problem.

The real problem is our immigration system is broken and Black Americans are being pushed out of jobs. Thanks Obama! So what good has come out of by passing the Congress?

So destroying property, looting, and rioting is going to change their lives? If their answer to tough times is to burn down cities they get what they deserve as far as I'm concerned. How many of those "terminally unemployable" are in that state through their own actions? I'm willing to bet a vast majority of them. No one makes them commit crime or do drugs. I don't care about their sob stories, nothing gives anyone the right to burn down property, loot, riot, and be violent on such a large scale.

The hypocrisy is amazing, as these are folks that clearly have ties to their city.

Never see threads about white riots though.

Through violence of action and overwhelming force that breaks their spirits and crushes their souls. You can't reason with people who don't believe in reason and you can only meet force with force. The pretentious leftists who live in their safe bubbles in NYC that would sneer at such a show of force only live their petty little lives in such safety because the NYPD would have put down this riot a while ago.
