Well yes, investigate them, round them up, and prosecute them. These yahoos were putting hand written notes on peoples cars and houses last night, telling them if they don't take down their BLM posters, or other "SJW" signs about equal rights for everyone, like the LGBTQ community, they would "burn them alive in their houses while they are asleep, and torch their cars."
He got caught.
The workers are being hurt, anyway.
Like burning the plantation hurts the slaves. So what? The slaves have already been hurt. And will continue to be hurt. So burn it down and start over. OR, the plantation owners could maybe get a clue, and some of share the wealth.
We all "deserve it".
He is us. He is what we made him. He's responding to the world as he has experienced it. A world WE created, and that we ultimately control.
Your CCTV coverage is not too bad, so footage from every possible shop, street, vehicle, body cam etc can be collected and scrutinised and all crimes be traced to scumbags at any time after all this.
He's a side of us that most of us have the humanity not to give in to.
No, it's actual meaning is closer to "baffled", but because it sounds like "amused" and isn't commonly used enough that people are familiar with it, it's commonly misunderstood to be related to "amused.Are you sure? Isn't bemused the act of becoming amused?
In this case, workers aren't getting raises. They aren't getting profit shares. They lost their job. Now they are worse off than before. Just because someone is in the frying pan doesn't mean it's a good idea to throw them to the fire. Now she has a boss who hates her and on top of that an angry mob, claiming to be for justice and the working classz just ensured she can't pay rent. Good job.
These are almost exclusively our young people doing this. They have seen their future. The future we squandered on our own selfishness. Now you want them to be good little boys and girls, and to eat the sh*t sandwich we made for them.
Did you seriously take the time to explain to me what bemused means when I had added a tongue-stick-out smiley to show I was joking?
In English, words that start with be sometimes are not related in definition to what comes next, such as bemused or bewildered. Or sometimes they are like bewitched or befouled.Are you sure? Isn't bemused the act of becoming amused?
It takes courage, and sacrifice, to fight our oppressors. Especially when we've been so cowed and lazy for so long. And allowed them to take full control. So much control that they can murder people in the street in broad daylight and expect to get away with it.
So you consider this guy representative of most of the protestors and/or rioters? I don't. My guess is this is just some narcissistic sociopath out there having what amounts to his idea of fun.
Dude, that is so easy to say when you arent using gas station reward points to feed yourself. Yeah. You can take a stand. And go homeless. And let yoyr kids starve. When you aren't privileged and you need your next paycheck so you have food and a bed next week, some wanker comes alomg and takes that away, its not fighting oppressors. It's curbstomping the people you claim to be fighting for.
Yes, yes, well-known.
Some of us are mature enough to realize violence sets off an endless cycle that begats nothing but further violence. Sure, its necessary sometimes, but are people trgetting police stations? No. They're targeting the mom and pop shops of people who had nothing to do with it. If every destroyed car was a cop cruiser, that would be different. But thats not the case. And, yes, it gets even worse than that. Like the deliberate targetting of white people during the LA riots. Thats not cool either.
I have the temerity to tell you what you want.
