My heart goes out to NYC. This has bee a terrible year. The combination of a worldwide pandemic and now the destruction of NYC. I'm sickened watching this. Shame on the news media outlets not reporting what's happening at night. CNN and MSNBC stopped live reporting in cities across America. I had to turn to Fox News coverage from 11am to 2am to see the raping of NYC. Every business completely looted down to nothing. Completely destroyed. I've never felt this frustrated since 911. It feels like we are being attacked by a foreign invader. None of this has anything to do with George Floyd. What happened to George Floyd is terrible, we all agree. Every profession has bad apples. Not every cop is racist, not every cop is bad. What does the business owner in NYC have to do with a few bad cops in Minneapolis?
As a business owner myself, my heart breaks for these minority business owners who have sacrificed their entire lives into their business. Working hours that only a doctor could relate to. Seeing their business completely up in flames for something cops did in a completely different state. Why should they be punished for any of this? Do any of these criminal looters actually care about George Floyd? Where's the outrage for the dozen plus African Americans that were killed due to black on black gun violence in Chicago this last week? Does anyone know their names? Where's the outrage there? Are they taking that anger out on other communities too? This is like having my Dog kidnapped in Florida then robbing a house in Maryland because I'm outraged. None of this has any relation to George Floyd. I'm sure he's turning over in his grave seeing his name tied to this nonsense.
NYC has been completely ransacked. Philadelphia might even be worse. I was watching the live coverage in Philly yesterday and it looked like a 3rd world country. Garbage EVERYWHERE on the streets. Buildings burnt to the ground. Looters taking everything out of a store and then completely destroying it. Shame on these so called celebrities, sports athletes (like Colin Kaepernick and Lebron James) stoking the fire and encouraging this nonsense. This isn't what strength looks like. Strength isn't looting random businesses, burning buildings to the ground, violently beating people who are trying to stop the looting. This is completely backfiring. People will associate these individuals with mayhem, destruction, violence, looting, etc.
There is no respect given for this. This only buries you deeper. I just want to thank the peaceful protesters who are not causing problems. This is one of the most shameful acts of the last decade. I've heard people state that when looting has happened like this in other states, it has taken those cities over a decade to recover fully. The people that are going to be hurt the most are the locals that live there that will see their taxes rise to help rebuild and fix this mess. The people that are going to hurt are the people that no longer have a job to earn money for their family.
None of these big cities are controlling this. It has become a circus. Bill de Blasio just allowing the ransacking to happen. You can't even make this stuff up. His daughter was arrested yesterday for being apart of the violent protester group. Send in the military. End the pillaging of America. We are seeing our beautiful country fall before our eyes. We've become the wild west again. If any of you are living in NYC right now you must be heartbroken. To see the place you love completely invaded and destroyed like this.
EDIT: One more thing to mention too. As we are still in the midst of this pandemic these absolutely massive gatherings of people in these cities, standing shoulder to shoulder is going to cause the 2nd wave of the Coronavirus to come back. So look out for that in the coming weeks as cases sky rocket because of these protesters coming in close contact with one another. Get ready for the 2nd quarantine.
