Lots of it going around with our young. I think it is a byproduct of the Internet echo-chambers and how people feel empowered because they find like minds. It is a mental illness and very wide spread. The entire ultra-left is in that boat of mental illness. I am not sure what to do about it. Maybe get the huge mental illness places going and put them in there to help them? Like this one.
Right. Why call the police if you’re getting robbed or carjacked at gunpoint? Just hand over your property.
Calling the police might result in violence, and we certainly don’t want that, do we?
And just think of the waste of taxpayer dollars calling the police would entail?
Just hand everything over peacefully and go home and reflect on your white privilege.
again, another person is bringing up fictional scenarios and not what happened in reality here. Why are you talking about car jackings and robberies?
NO WE DON'T WANT VIOLENCE. Why are you being sarcastic? When you call the police in America they are basically gunmen who show up to shoot things, they are not conflict resolution experts. They've proven this over and over again.
You want you tax dollars wasted on something citizens can handle on their own for free?
What was handed over here? Why are you talking about white privilege, what does that have to do with anything?
They didn’t burn anything that I know of. Apparently you aren’t aware that many of these South Asian and Middle Eastern store owners and employee do good business in many minority communities WHILE being disrespectful to the people of that community. I’ve had Indians and Arabs yank money out of my hand before, and talk to me quite disrespectfully or rude. They know they’d better not do that in stores they operate in white neighborhoods...and from what I know, they don’t.
Call a black woman the N-word and pull a gun or her? Oh HELL NO! People ain’t putting up with it anymore.
And who is the “they” that bytch and moan about nowhere to shop in their community? Every neighborhood in America has a liquor store, and they will ALWAYS have a liquor store/party store in the community because there’s money to be made there, and someone is gonna get it.
Now if you’re talking about retail type stores, well MOST Americans have to drive to get to one. Few of us live in a retail district, so I don’t know what you’re talking about. Grocery stores are another matter, but the overwhelming majority of Americans have to drive to get groceries so people who live in inner cities that complain about the lack of grocery stores aren’t being realistic. I live in a small town and I don’t even live within walking distance of a grocery store.
So again, doing party store business can be challenging, but nowadays the men aren’t just gonna lay down if women are being disrespected by store clerks. Better not call my wife a name. I’m gonna have a real issue, let alone if you draw a gun on her.
Sure, they went a little overboard by forcing him to close, but a message was sent.
The 'they' are the same people I complained about after the riots in Chicago. The same idiots that burned the damn buildings turned to the cameras and said, 'Now we have no store in our community' and 'What are we supposed to do now to get our food?' Are you effing kidding me? Someone should have told those jokers they were the reason for that. This mob is no different if they end up causing the store to close. I'm not talking about law-abiding citizens who said those things - I feel sorry for them - particularly the elderly or those who can't afford transportation. Those folks aren't the 'they'.
I don't know what goes on with those store owners, but this isn't the way to handle it. You handle it by deciding as a community that you'll put the store owner on notice that if he doesn't get polite people serving everyone, nobody will enter that store again. (I think we saw a video like that last year.)
I find it a little disturbing that the mouth of the mob was so quick to decline viewing videotape. While I'm sure something happened, that raised a red flag for me.
But even if the clerk said all of that - send your message to the owner of the store who has a stake in the business and with your dollars.

Nobody died, the store will be back open. No tax dollars wasted. Both sides handled it peacefully. Did you want the police to show up and create another nationwide revolution?
Police don't cause a "nationwide revolution". Domestic terrorists like BLM and Pantifa do. Our media does by lying and manipulating the public. The Democratic party does by supporting, enabling and financing these violent criminals.
The police SHOULD have been there, done their job, and arrested the violent thugs. These fools are the very definition of terrorists-they use fear, threats and intimidation to force people to do their bidding. It's a shame that there weren't enough good guys there with guns to handle these savages-rather it's police or the law abiding public.
not to the BLM sycophants in this thread. they're working overtime.
Yes, some seem to be advocating for vigilantism. They tried to resolve things without the police in CHOP/CHAZ. Two people were killed and there were alleged rapes--in a span of only a few weeks. It's hard to imagine anyone could think things would be better this way.
The fact that the spokesbully refused to watch the security tape proves that their goal was never a fair solution. It was intimidation from beginning to end.
Wish we got to see what the "black queen" shoplifter looks like. I wonder if the security tape will be released to the public? I would like to see what actually happened.
Yeah, that would be interesting.
According to the BP the clerk called the woman the n-word and then apparently for no reason... pulled a gun on her.
The clerk seemed to be saying that's not what happened and wanted to show the BP a video of the incident. However, the man wasn't hearing it. He demanded the store close and somebody be fired.
Sure, but you are missing the simplicity of it all. People want to be a victim. Who wouldn't. If you are a "victim" and do well, you are considered amazing. If you are "privileged" and do well it is expected. Just seems easy to try and claim victim these days.
If that were the case, every minority would do well since far left liberals keep messaging that they're victims, can't handle math and science or tests, or job requirements or much of anything else related to real life.
