if you can’t discuss the protests over yet another black person’s murder at the hands of the state without, in the same breath, condemning the ~optics~ of protesters acting out in their rightful, human grief and anger, you need to stop wasting oxygen and shut the fuck up. george floyd is dead because police suffocated him. people are being tear gassed and shot by police at what began as a peaceful protest. a handful of people using the chaos to take a $200 tv from a big-box store with insurance should be the last thing on your mind right now

hey my $200 tv example? turns out that was a terrible example! you know what people who looted target are doing with their stolen goods? setting up stations to give those goods away to people who need them. you’ll notice gallons of milk for rinsing tear gas out of people’s eyes
