Work boots, funniest thing I heard all day.

Anyone remember the "swarms" that hit places like WMart? No arrests. They lock up an old white man for stealing a AA battery and do nothing about blacks walking out of the store with big screen tv's. Has our society become complacent about black thieves or is it fear?

Maybe Colin Kapernick should open a sporting goods store in one of these riot prone cities and just leave the doors open so the poor and the oppressed can help themselves whenever they feel angry.

Probably wouldn't loot but of course I'm not part of a race that's been discriminated against for 200 plus in a country that has a founding document that says, "We hold these truths to be be self evident, that all men are created equal", basically it was telling England that they had enough and we're tired of being oppressed.

What it meant was us rich white dudes are equal, not our women, not the Indians we stole a bunch of land from, and certainly not the black slaves we brought here and are going to bring here because we are to cheap to pay any kind of labor, and we are too lazy to pick our own damn cotton.

Now their ancestors hire illegals to do the same work and those black slaves who were oppressed and slaved, their ancestors are starting to get get pissed off, and the only way to get anyone to notice is bust stuff up.

A good recommendation might be some lawn equipment, perhaps a mower and a weed eater in order to start a new business, to turn over a 'new leaf,' as it were.

Let me ask you this... If you were celebrating your hockey team's victory, what model cars would you choose to torch. Your question and it's premise is insulting and stupid but I guess it makes you think you are clever.

I don't riot over sporting events. Much like MOST blacks aren't ignorant, violent thugs that riot and loot. BLM is a whole special kind of stupid. Not all blacks support BLM. And some particularly ignorant white folks do.

So, then, why is it insulting TO YOU?

All "expensive small" electronics are usually locked in a backroom or heavy cage that only 2 people per shift have a key to. Worked at a few Walmart over the years..... its easier to get to the pharmacy paperwork with personal info than it is to get to the phones, I pods and computers.....

Yeah, I usually duck behind some books because I know they can't get a read on my location.

Flat screen TV, They don't weigh much and you could probably carry two.

I would make sure I only stole items that were made in America. We need to support American industries.
