Then they will wonder why stores never open back up and others will wonder why nothing changed. If you want to protest, sit on your ass at home and don't spend money or go to work for a week.

Grid lock the highway. Bring a tracktor or 20 friends in their own cars
I find it amusing that there's a lot of sympathetic comments on this post putting a face on the consequences of these riots but on the other post showing a police car in a crowd all the comments were proud of the rioters.
I'm all for showing numbers and voicing our concerns but we're just punching sideways when there's a riot. I find it sad that people here on Lemmy side with the rioters
As Jello Biafra sang: "Trash a bank If you've got real balls"
absolute fucking trash, jump kicking a retreating man from behind
attempted murder, lock 'em up
This is what happens
Stop oppressing us or we will steal video games from an easy target!
Fastidious looters. 
Could people take out their anger on the people causing rather than their peers? What kind of piece of shit do you need to be to not just ruin your peers life but also a whole movement by giving it a bad rep...
Welcome to crab mentality. Humans are scared, dumb, fucking creatures, man.
opportunistic assholes, the same sort of asshole that loot homes after flooding etc
The people responsible for this are just there for the violence, destruction and looting. They use the legit protests as a cover. They don't care about the people or the movement
... At least we got a bad ass straight out of an anime photo out of this?
Bro was summoning the power of kakarot
I don't have a Google account but I guess 5 star reviews would help him
Maybe they should be attacking government buildings.
They did that too.
Anarchism in lemmy posts is some utopia while praxis looks a lil bit different
Funny how cops are there to smash some high schooler but not to protect poeple from looters. It's almost like they are not here to protect /s
At least 1 decent person trying to help him after he was attacked. The rest are just terrible.
Tbh the amount of bystanders astounds me, like I cannot imagine being there, seeing that guy flying kick someone with their back turned and not immediately grabbing and pummeling him.
This is coming from someone who doesnt think rioting as protest is wrong--but it's really obvious why the videogame store is being looted/vandalized instead of things that actually matter.
Isn't Zing a huge brand. Owned by GameStop/electronics boutique?
Doesnt really scream small business owner.
Maybe it's a franchise, making this guy technically a small business owner? Not familiar with zing btw
Could be I guess. Hard to know cause they'd probably never make it public.
Though there are particular people who would refer to this as a "small business owner" and not just labeling it "looters".
Fly kicking someone from behind, as they walk away from confrontation, is a real piece of shit move.
My dude needs some rooftop Koreans.
Not very Nice, France
not nice, france
France, your looking pretty bad to people in the US. And that's a low bar to clear.
I care as much about US opinions as a pig in shit
Don't act like France is any better than the US. They're just as imperialist as the rest of them.
