1. well they are just "protestors" after all nt

2. All for protesting in this case. Grabbing Gucci and Louis Vuitton junk ain't protesting.

Listen to Mayor Bottoms — “A protest has purpose” — Killer Mike, Atlanta News personalities (mostly Black), etc.

God Bless Mayor Bottoms.

This ain’t helping.

I hate to use the local Fox station, but they have the best video of Mayor Bottoms. I looked for another source.

Much better than FOX. Killer Mike is speaking and he's on the verge of tears.

8. Thanks, Crickets. Killer Mike is great too. Luckily 99+% are protesting earnestly.

Take care.

12. It was heartbreak when I saw her pleading with people to stop destroying their city.

This kind of crap will help rump, not hurt him.

3. very small group..not the protesters,,, just teens taking advantage of the chaos

5. Video looked like small group of unprepared looters hoping to take advantage...

To take advantage while police are busy elsewhere. Hope they get caught before they do too much more damage and no one gets hurt.

9. I grew up a couple of blocks from there, graduated high school in Buckhead.

Not good there’s looting. But having been right in the LA riots years later, you learn that all of those places have tons of insurance.

10. Ok, I'm going to go out on a limb here, but these stores have lost a lot of money

due to the pandemic.

Could there be any way they could be setting this up to claim insurance money to cover their losses? Just spitballing here. Seems kind of unlikely that anyone would be this stupid unless they were being paid off or something. I don't know, but something about this just seems kind of off here.

11. no...

lived thru the LA riots...these are a bunch of kids looking for an excuse to steal with no reprisals...this isn't about race-hate this is about breaking and entering and taking what isn't theirs..and insurance to cover inventory losses...are you kidding??...if the pandemic didn't wipe them out then there is a good possibility the astronomical costs of rebuilding, restocking, and out of sight insurance rate hikes will force businesses to close forever...and that means more unemployment...

13. Oh please.
