Crandc sails under false colors. Everything she says is the same as everyone else on the right. Now you, you are a woman who sits on the fence and doesn't say strong things. Safe but scared. Not a good position from which to accuse anyone of being scared. At least Crandc is bold with her conservative words.
That. And because they're cowardly parasites who only care about themselves. I am referring only to the relatively tiny group of looters, not the millions of people who didn't riot, but it's absurd to pretend this isn't a "black" thing. In America, white folks just don't riot anymore. Bring back the draft and you'll see white kids out there throwing rocks and tipping cop cars like in the 60's, but looting was never a part of the "white" riot. That's just some lame, chicken-shit stealing and nothing more.
Today's San Francisco Chronicle confirmed what was already reported. A number of individuals were charged and more than half were from out of area, about a quarter out of state. jkprk's sexism (which is somehow progressive?) does not explain what is progressive about some people damaging buildings, whose owners/renters had nothing to do with the murder of Oscar Grant or the trial of Johannes Meserle, in someone else's city. How does that help bring justice to Grant, or aid the fight against police brutality or racial profiling? How does it help the safety of African-American family men (like Grant) or working people (again like Grant, who had a good job) in Oakland? Improve public transportation? All jlpirk can say is women talking about politics is inherently right wing. I mean, does anyone else here, whether they agree with me or not, think my views resemble Talkhard/Shooter? Sorry, Maris, don't know about where you live but here by the BAy the young people who come to "riot" and loot, NOT protest, are exactly white and suburban. It's not political protests like antidraft actions, it's pure idiocy. They think they are tough cowboy action heros or something.
jlprk is just trying to needle you, make you angry. It's one of his favourite games, to see if he can get to people. He doesn't actually believe you're conservative or that your views are remotely conservative.
Imagine, a group of black people steal and destroy a store because they weren't happy. I did see a couple of individual white people there though.
