During the Rodney King riots, mobs raided the shops in LA & ran away with 5-6 pairs of sports shoes each. They were already wearing shoes. Same with raiding of electronic goods shops.
Stop justifying this behavior as helplessness. Stop justifying blatant disregard of law & order. https://twitter.com/sachingupta787/status/1262831922650263560
Last week, the mob broke open the showcase of a train station shop to steal water & cold drinks from it. Each carrying multiple bottles, while laughing & cheering.
2nd day of lockdown 1, and our industrial association sent out a message that the tapri chai wala's shop was ransacked. 2nd day. People were NOT hungry, they were assholes taking advantage of vacant streets.
Socialism ka sabse bada issue ye hai ki sab khud ko Robin Hood samajhne lagte hain.
70s 80s mein 'Angry Young Man' was cheered for fighting the evil mill owners, while in real life, he traveled in Mercedes.
Stop cheering idiocy.
There will be those who justify this riot & subsequent loot due to poverty, lockdown, etc. At the end of day, this is just the mindset of people who believe they can get away with it by blaming the circumstances. https://twitter.com/NorbertElekes/status/1265915365688778754?s=19
"Why can't we all get along... and raid the shoe shops for some shoes, yo!"
If anyone asks, poverty + anger makes people do crazy things, they have to steal shoes to grill & eat later. https://twitter.com/BenPopeCST/status/1266887022024757249
