Why aren’t you out there protesting with them?

This. No way would I buy or wear a designer logo bag. In the US they are associated with theft and ghetto culture.

How can I contribute to a bail fund for these protestors like I did last time?

Speak for yourself. Looting, assault, attempted murder, and arson aren't exactly doing wonders for civilization. To you it's a bunch of gucci bags. To others it's a breakdown in the rules and norms and public order that human beings need for society to function safely for everyone. I hope "The Government" prosecutes these people hard.

It hurts the businesses in those areas (including employees who work there and people who shop there). It negatively affects residents and tourists who want to enjoy the area. It creates a downward spiral of crime. Insurance premiums go up for all sorts of businesses. Police officers (who aren’t all evil despite some narratives) are putting their own safety in danger.

But it feels good to try to act morally superior by making this about consumerism so people will tout this garbage while patting themselves heartily on the back.

Seriously. Robbing Gucci has nothing to do with Black Lives Matter. Cut it out.

The sad part is that you think any of these looters care one bit about Justin or about any claimed police misconduct.

Can I get a free Gucci bag? I promise to silently protest for Justin in my mind every time I wear it.

There's no justice in the world until everybody has a Gucci bag.

Fires, injuries, robberies and arrests - a poor legacy for a violence interrupter. Shame on them.
