I would expect a kid to think like this but not an adult.
There is a lot of joy in liberating stores of their merchandise.
It’s against private citizens, not the state. This “writer” is an idiot.
Is that like basically pregnant? Something either is or isn’t nonviolent.
Just money? So her book is free? “Actually hurting any people”? What does “actually” mean in that sentence?
Amazon has suspended reviews on her book, which were all negative. People wrote that they shoplifted her book.
And NPR should be embarrassed that they gave a “basically” self published book by an obviously uneducated moron some publicity. The author is one of those white liberal racists that Malcolm X warned black people about. You can go into these poor communities and see how the damage from riots remains for years.
The irony is that the author is a Marxist. The things that get stolen are alcohol and luxury items. In other words, the looting isn’t about trying to feed your family and is simply opportunists trying to feed their materialistic desires.
Parents who failed to teach them empathy. She sees a looted business. Normal people see a family that lost its livelihood. They see a community that lost a provider of goods, services and jobs. They see the loss of tax revenue which goes back to serve the poor in the community. What does the author care when she isn’t affected by it? She is a troubled person (possibly mentally ill) who probably has few, if any, human connections in her real life and it is reflected in her writing. This is where we are: people with no experience in the real world are writing about it through a theoretical filter they learned in college.
One of the chapters in her book is “All Cops Are Bastards.” OK, who rescued those victims of child trafficking in Atlanta? BLM? Antifa? Karl Marx? Social workers? Her sociology and gender studies professors?
