Perfect response to the armchair theorist in favor of "looting" --
>From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel about Kenosha: Scott Carpenter is trying to push ahead. He runs the family-owned B&L Office Furniture at 1101 60th St. After Blake's shooting and the initial protests, he remained hopeful that peace could hold. "I didn't think we were going to be a Chicago or a Portland, Oregon," he said. Then he saw a car dealership catch fire. On Monday night, he watched a feed on Facebook and saw his business burned. "I'm like, 'Oh God, it's on fire,' " he said. He's had a few days to absorb the loss and to prepare to move on. "If I was trying to do peaceful protests to let my voice be heard, and this is in the wake of it, I think I'd be telling whoever was behind me, 'Stop it, you're ruining our cause.' " Friday, he was back at his business. The building is a total loss. The heat of the fire was so intense, steel beams began to twist. "Love is going to go a long way," he said. "Love is going to be the answer." I found the rationale of the writer TOTALLY unconvincing --- every local business is a blood sucking exploiter of the community? --- come on --- that "fact" disappeared in the 1960s!!! > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
