True story: one of my best friends that I grew up with went to prison for looting Richer Sounds during the London riots. One thing I can assure you of, when he went into that shop, the last thing he was interested in was sticking it to the system. All he wanted was a new TV.

The way black men in particular are treated in America by Police is despicable, scandalous & outrageous. But looting local stores is neither a proportionate nor rational response. And people, especially outside of the US, really ought to stop attempting to excuse & defend it.

I get the social unrest & I get the outrage. In such circumstances, I even get anger so deep that some would consider violent uprising. But looting & destroying local business doesn’t fall into any of these categories & you are a fool to believe it is done in the name of justice.

Floyd George was a peaceful, law abiding & unarmed citizen who was murdered by the Police. The looters are degenerate thugs, exploiting tragedy in order to help themselves to other people& #39;s stuff. It shits all over the legacy of the victim & his family. Please stop defending it.
