Its totally appalling and disgusting these racist laws are still enforced and pursued so aggressively today.
Uh, you can't riot and loot though.

Nobody takes violence initiators seriously.

Realizing that their arguments to defend the looters are failing with the majority of Americans, they're now throwing everything against the wall to see what will stick.
