    Yeah. That would be like judging Trump based on Florida.

    This gentleman deserves all the respect in the world for being well adjusted, wish more people in the world would be like him.

    He stood up for what is right - but he understands that people make mistakes and chooses not grandstand and look for a way forward after acknowledgment of these errors. Definitely someone we can all look up to.

    First clue about Sly's breed - not a retriever / sporting dog.

    I saw them in Sunnyvale at a LOVE IN...Im thinking it was DC's last performance with them?
    He was a hand full and very outspoken and many though he demonstrating sociopathic behavior, but Im thinking it was the ultra ego mixed with women, drugs and and booze. He was an extrovert for sure!
    Ive been a fan of his my whole life and he very gifted musician. If you haven't seen his latest documentary check it out its great and does get into his being kick out of the Birds.

    Looting is never justified. That's just looking for a reason to steal.

    Rioting is never the ideal way to protest, obviously, but if a government consistently allows their representatives to murder without consequences (firing doesn't qualify as consequences for murder), you have to expect uprisings. Not that that makes it okay, but it's inevitable. As long as the government and police close ranks to protect even murderous cops, this problem will persist.

    Okay, that's fair. When it's actual staples and survival, that's different. I guess I meant when it's looting as a form of "protest."

    If the roles were reversed and white people suddenly started to endure what black people continue to live with, anyone think it would just be looting? Thousands of redneck white dumbfucks can’t go to Walmart and Red Robin during a pandemic and they storm our govt offices with AK47’s. But black people getting murdered by “law enforcement” on video every fucking week and they loot a Target and light stuff on fire? Oh the horror

    I have no idea how accurate this story is but I just heard this on Suke and Ropp on 1080 The Fan of all places concerning the looting of the Target.

    They were saying that people were protesting. The police started using tear gas to disperse the crowd. The crowd scattered and some ran into the Target to buy milk. (Milk is used to pour over your eyes when you get tear gassed.) Target flips their shit and tells people to leave. Won't sell them milk or allow them in the store. That's when things started escalating.

    Like I said, no idea how accurate this story is.
