Again: STOP DEFENDING THE DESTRUCTION OF A PLACE YOU DONT EVEN FUCKING LIVE IN!!!

Everyone saying it’s “just target” NO THE FUCK ITS NOT 80 BUSINESSES HAVE BEEN EITHER TORCHED, LOOTED, VANDALIZED OR ALL OF THE ABOVE. Many of them owned or frequented by POCs.
It wasn’t just a target. It was almost every grocery store in the neighborhood, almost every pharmacy, even a freaking library.

My neighborhood is full of poor black people and it looks like a fucking war zone. I promise you none of the actual residents are okay with this!
Celebrate the precinct being burned down. But stop fucking glorifying the destruction of an entire neighborhood that nobody gave a fuck about. Essential services are gone for people who need it the most. They’ve suspended USPS.

People were barely hanging on to begin with.
It was more than just a target. This is like 15-20 blocks of destruction.Everyone saying “burn it down” go fucking light your neighborhood on fire and cut your power if you want.

I firmly believe majority of people who participated and the rioting and looting WERE NOT RESIDENTS
