[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's no direct evidence that this crime spree was related to any kind of protest. Whether they were mad at a shooting or mad at something else or just wanted to commit a bunch of crimes, none of that reflects on the people in SE who were protesting the shooting. There's no direct link between the two. Stop mixing them together.[/quote]

[i]Protestors can be heard yelling “Don’t Shoot, I’m Sleep” in the background.[/i]

There's your direct evidence.

Someone shouting in the background means there's a protest?[/quote]

If your point is that these people where using Justin's shooting as a justification for their looting, I agree with you. But if your point is that they chose last night at random to do their looting, completely unrelated to the shooting, I disagree with you -- for whatever reason, these people want to connect their looting to the shooting.[/quote]

I'm just saying it's not a protest and the people using this as an excuse to tar the actual protesters in SE are arguing in bad faith to further a political position. The person who originally recorded this video (https://x.com/_anthonypeltier/status/1833555661575406024) has already retracted his caption suggesting this was a protest because even he didn't have any evidence of that beyond 1 person shouting a slogan.[/quote]

You’re getting closer to finally realizing it’s always an excuse for looting. [/quote]

A chance to rip off more “free stuff.”[/quote]
