Hard Hitting CNN Piece on why all the "looting"

I agree that income inequality doesn't help, but you can't just allow thievery and lawlessness.

Did you see the cars these "income inequality" thieves drove in on? Some nice ones. Income inequality isn't the reason this is happening. There have always been poor people like me growing up but this was never even dreamed of nor did I have a Lexus to drive downtown Portland, park in front of the store, run in grab expensive clothing and then casually run out.

This is a culture issue and the predominant offender is African American.

Try and find the booking photos of the some of the people who were arrested and charged for the Louis Vuitton robbery. The media is treating them as if they are minors and refusing to show their faces.

Jamisi Calloway, 24 of San Francisco; Kimberly Cherry, 28 of San Francisco; Francill White, 53 of San Francisco; Ivan Speed, 34 of Oakland; Tomiko Miller, 23 of Concord; Raynard Jones, 32 of Riverdale, GA; Edward James, 32 of San Francisco; Michael Ray, 27 of San Francisco; and Daron Wilson, 38 of San Francisco.[/i][/b]

Nearly every single one of them already has a long rap sheet.

I think what Road is getting at is there is a threshold of poverty you cross that attributes to less criminality.

Even though you're billions away from Elon, you're much more like he is than someone on the street is to someone making 50k.

How we are at a point that a large portion of people feel victimized and entitled while living in the most prosperous and opportunity laced country in human history is the real problem.

But policies and narratives put in place by the left have a lot of people feeling the system is against them and that they are helpless to do anything about it.

My favorite grievance is when women get history and philosophy degrees then claim theres a wage gap

I have a lotta smart friends with "advanced" degrees toiling in mediocrity that are pissed off the class clown runs circles around them in the real world.

Used to play basketball with some of the Oregonian sportswriters in the late 80s-90s. Even back then the financial abyss was starting to stare them in the face. Almost everyone they played against was getting paid more than they were and were in growth industries. A more entitled bitter group of people would be hard to find.
 
Kimberly Cherry, 28 of San Francisco; Francill White, 53[/i][/b] These two are a mother and daughter. Daughter was just recently released from detention because she had a baby via c-section. She has a two month old daughter.
 
Tomiko Miller, 23 of Concord was convicted in 2020 of vehicular manslaughter and has two previous felony convictions from 2017 and 2018 and yet for some reason this systemically racist country let him out of jail each time.

Put them into the same category of people who wanted to cut the number of people we had in your prison system because too many of them were black and who now are complaining about the amount of crime and violence that's occuring in our cities.

There are way too many people in prison. You don't solve it with stupid, knee jerk reactions like letting people shoplift, assault, or god know's what. This is one of the failings of the left lately, or Soarass's grand plan to wreck the country...or something

Bullshit, there are too few people in prison.

How does income inequality cause people to steal? Elon Musk having more money than me doesn't make me want to go out and steal things.

I don't go out and steal either.

I'm not an expert, but if the $7.25 federal minimum wage had been raised since 2009, that wouldn't hurt.

No state in the Union has a $7.25 minimum wage.
 
I'm all for Chronicles of Riddick type prisons. If you're not deterred by spending time waiting to be murdered in a place like that, you deserve to be there.
