In reply to the discussion: I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with the burning of stores and vehicles. [View all]dpibel
(2,826 posts)74. I don't think you know what "inherently" means
Although, now I think of it, that's probably the least of your problems.
In any case, I can't actually even give you a gentleperson's "C" on this one. It's a really, awfully lame attempt at creating the kind of "Yeah, baby," responses that can get posted elsewhere as examples of what lewnies live at DU.
Many have plied this trade in the past. Many, many better than this.
Or, to put it politely: You're full of it.

I suspect that the protesters think if enough burns, they wont be ignored any longer.

I'd duck out quickly too if I tried to justify valuing property over people. Have a great night!
