Was anyone hurt? If not, I really don't give a flying fuck if another part of the corpocracy burns to the fucking ground. They are complicit in the police state, in the racial and gender inequality, in the ripping off of America.

Something has to happen to wake people and the government up. Peaceful protest has gotten us nowhere. Time after time after time we see atrocities, murders, on video and nothing is done. Even in the rare case that someone is charged, just turn around and tomorrow you'll see it again.

So just fuck the noise that poor CVS was looted and burned.

I do not advocate destroying a neighborhood, a small, mom and pop business, or anyone being physically harmed. But if this shit keeps up, it will be much worse than what we have seen in decades. Maybe ever.
