    My only concerns and areas I consider off limits really are pharmacies and medical supply stores, medical places. Thinking on it a bit and ruminating, I can accept small businesses being looted if it provides incentive for the person to be upset with the state as well instead of the protests.

      Yeah, most people think “wow, that guy has a great point, I never thought of it that way” when looters burn down their livelihood.

        Oh, poor corporations!

        What are you, some oligarch boot licker? We are descending into authoritarianism and you are endorsing oligarch talking points to discredit movements for reform.

          I’m still unconvinced, maybe you should light my car on fire, it’s probably insured, that’ll convince me your cause is righteous!

        Wow, that guy is burning down people’s livelihoods. That’s a great point, I never thought of it that way. Destroying private property is awesome. Thanks to this french contemporary looting artist I saw on TV, I realized I don’t have any property and I don’t give a shit when the bourgeoisie loses theirs. He really moved me.

      It’s mostly been luxury stores that have been looted (at least from the reporting).

        Because people, especially those rioting, are dependent on the medicines that such establishments provide. I thought the idea was don’t fuck with the firefighters and paramedics. I would have thought it extends toward those.
