I was talking to someone who thought there should be a deterrent for the looting and destruction that happens when the black community thinks that injustice should be met with burning and looting stores and businesses. He thought of a tax that should be placed to cover the cost and a penalty for such behavior on the black community.

Maybe there would be better parenting if the community had to pay for what they have allowed . This should be considered. They must understand that there is a down side to this kind of bad behavior.
What do you think of a black looting and destruction tax on the community? What other deterrent do you think would change this kind of unacceptable behavior?

What a stupid idea. I thought Conservatives were against raising taxes. Why punish everyone for the stupidity of a few? Why leave this just on Blacks? If whites cause destruction, should all whites be taxed?

Drones and cameras. ID them, and send all looters to prison.

Most importantly fire the Democrats who sympathize or many times encourage this behavior.

Just an excuse to be scum****s.. Should just arrest and jail them. Float some drones with high quality cams overhead and ID the people or just shoot the dumb***s

Which black community? My friend in Maui? My students at a major healthcare facility?

The cute little kids down the block? How about that cool Jamaican guy that won the gold for my favorite island last night.?

Would you like that tax to be melanin based? Cause, I think you'd owe me money.

If there is a deterrent they will think about their actions.. if they loot , they will be banished by the rest of whom have to share the burden of bad behavior. I kind of like the idea. They will not be looked at as a hero in their community. The looters and those who are burning down the buildings will be looked at as a criminal of the worst kind and the parents will make sure their kids are not involved in this activity that brings with it a tax or penalty to that community.

I remember seeing an interview with a hoodlum as the smoke cleared after the riots over the Micheal Brown shooting. The rioters had burned down the CVS and looted many stores. The kid was demanding that they come back and rebuild.
CVS faced a backlash because they were thinking that it wasn't such a good idea to rebuild.


I think the rioters and looters should be held accountable. It is ridiculous to let them tear the place up and the next day they expect it to be rebuilt. Who pays for the cop cars they just destroyed? Who pays for the officers health care when he is shot, beat up or injured at one of these "peaceful protests". The answer is We all do through our taxes.


The deterrent to riots and looting should be force. What ever happened to the National Guard keeping order or fire hoses, tear gas and dogs breaking up the crowd?
People have the right to peaceful protest and marches but when it turns into violent looting it is going to take violence and a heavy hand to put it down or else we will have lawful disorder.

I saw a video yesterday from Milwaukee were the crowd was shouting about beating up white people and they were trying to stop cars in the streets.
Is this America or some third world country where a coo is taking place?


There has to be consequences for negative actions or else why would they stop? So any time some thug is gunned down by the Police we are going to see riots?
