(25,699 posts)No, no one has said outright "I care more about property than human life." That would be... unstylish. And ultimately that is what most of the people here are posting for, to make themselves feel like htye are hip and in style.
But when you have a "discussion" of the situation in Baltimore, with peopel who have only now expressed any concern, and their concern is about anything from shop windows to 'how the republicans will spin it," with never a word said about Freddie Gray's killing before now?
When these are the same people, who have consistently done the same thing, every time a black man os killed by police? No concern for the victim, but a huge outpouring of rage if someone happens to break a windshield? When htey outright reject any notion of how riots happen, in favor of whitesplaining and holier-than-thou binary condemnations?
it doesn't have to be said outright, for it to be said loud and clear just the same.
