The Right to Loot

[renocat]

A blackmatters leader guy hired by Yale as a lecturer says looting is an acceptable means to protest and to express ones freedom of speech??????  Is this truly an acceptable thing?

[steve dave]

I don't agree with that blackmatters leader guy unless you need, like, food or something.

or maybe like a PS4 to feed your family

It's ok to loot if you know with 100% certainty that the stuff you are looting is going to be ruined by a natural disaster within 30 minutes.

I think it's okay to loot some sweet Nike Air Jordan's.  As long as they're super sweet.

I think it's OK to riot. Rioting gets crap done.

rioting is a natural reaction in a lot of instances.

[steve dave]

Rioting can actually be used interchangeably with getting crap done in a lot of instances

[SdK]

Only if you are looting from those that are oppressing you.

I remember right after the tornado destroyed that hardware store by the movie theater there were looters like 10 min after it went through

As long as you are barefoot when you loot those sweet Air Jordans.  In that case, they become a necessity.

Same way that big screen is going to help you see the upcoming weather reports.

And you might as well listen in surround sound, on a new leather couch, while drinking some fine wine.

Does it?

moreso than any other form of protest short of citizens acquiring missiles. The more recent ones (Ferguson, primarily) can start a national conversation that wouldn't have happened otherwise.

I recognize you can say that isn't really "getting crap done" and you aren't necessarily wrong.

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

In America, it's generally a felony (aggravated burglary, tresspass, etc.) to loot. So proceed at your own risk. Probably crosses the "peaceful" demonstration line afforded by the constitution (not clear how important this right is relative to others - will allow the psychopaths to advise).

 No one has the right to steal or loot.  If the amish ever root and riot in Yoder my bud who owns a store will give them free lead.
