What impacts other than ruined businesses owned by minorities? There was a black man crying on the news the other night because they destroyed his business in Minneapolis, he was literally crying. My wife and I were crying for him it was so heartfelt.

No national news picked that up? Why?

Sadly, it usually takes extreme violence, or even war/civil war, to bring about major changes, just look at what it took for America to break free and become a free and separate nation, look at all the violence before civil rights laws were finally passed too. I dont like it that this is what it takes to bring about change either, but it is what it is.

Easy answer...picking up stories like these don't fit their agenda.

A thread from last year, and a timely reminder that it isn't just one isolated city not bothering to punish looters and rioters.

When we had a protest here last year, the local citizens put armed guards in front of all businesses. The sheriff watched the protest and said he would arrest anyone who blocked a street or sidewalk. Many of us sat on our porches with a rifle on our lap. The protest did not last long. We have a legal right to shoot trespassers here.
