Just saw a video of a black woman in Milwaukee taking protesters to task. Paraphrased . . .

Screaming at them..."You're burning down **** in our neighborhood that we need!! Go to the suburbs! Burn that **** down!!"

Oh boy. That's better.

I wonder how suburban towns would react...

Thoughts?
 
Yea, who are the racists there - it is them.
 

I think it would be a rude awakening for them if they went into the suburbs to start trouble. I think you would start to see some of these looters getting shot. I don't feel like most suburbanites look at them as they view themselves...as perpetual victims.
 

Yeah, don't burn our ****, just burn down their ****!

That's so much better. :roll:
 

Well, at least there's 50% wisdom in her statement. For the rest of it, not so much.

I have a feeling that should the rioters make their way the suburbs and wreak their mayhem there, it would turn out much worse for them.
 
I think that the urban black underclass would quickly find themselves outgunned.
 

my thought is, that is exactly what is going to happen and it's going to get messy, yup
 

Great way to get the Middle Class on your side: Burn their property.

Bunch of criminals.
 

Bang ...... :shoot
 

Logistical (cultural?) problems are likely to make that a bad plan: the suburbs lack a strict no snitch code, the suburbs have a much higher owner occupied interest in their property and escape routes may prove to be more difficult in unfamiliar territory.
 

Well...um.....slavery, you know! Yeah, it's all because of slavery. That sounds good, let's go with that.
 
Actually bought my gun back in 1999 mainly to keep my government honest, with them knowing millions of individual owners well, own. But if I were there and that started happening, well, I will put it this way, there are secondary uses for that gun.

Where I live is more rural than suburban but, judging by the amount of gunfire resulting from wild pigs displaced by a recent flood, it would not likely end well.
 
It's makes a hell of a lot more sense to burn your enemies stuff down than your own stuff. Who is even going to care that you burned down your stuff down?

Rioters: Take that you bastards!

Everyone else: Ummm...that's your own stuff, you know.

Rioters: SO?!

Everyone else: Well, ummm....we don't care if you burn your own stuff down.
 

They don't have the balls
 
Rioters logic is basically on par with going to war with a foreign nation and bombing your own city.
 

She thinks they should all, by doing that, become Darwin award nominees? Sure would thin the gene pool out a bit.
