    Of all the wrong things Trump has said, this IS NOT one of them.

    The amount of far left sheep who are trying to hold companies hostage over this statement is showing the nation that it's acceptable for certain demographics to commit crime.

    By continuing to reinforce a culture of crime - because of slavery, crime is acceptable - an entire generation will make the mistakes that educated and successful African American know they should not. Breaking glass, setting fire to things, mobbing around shop owners and crippling them for life (some have died - this won't be reported) while robbing millions worth of merchandise. Impressionable young adults are empowered make bad decisions because it fuels their entitlement - and ruins their futures.

    Violent crime is UNACCEPTABLE. Looting during riots is UNACCEPTABLE. Pointing fingers at others because you don't want to make this point clear to your kids makes you responsible. I speak on behalf of all educated whites, minorities and immigrants when I say you are responsible your actions and the second you commit these acts, you cancel out the whole purpose of protests and show everyone that cops act the way they do for a reason.

    When someone breaks into personal property (which requires a weapon of some sort, a molotov cocktail, bricks, large hammers to shatter glass etc) and steals private property, it's violent crime. There is no excuse for that if it isn't in self defense. Shooting at them is fine - but are cops doing it? No.

    It's the exact same thing as putting up a picture of a pitbull on your property that says "Beware of Dog". It's letting violent criminals know they don't have free reign.

    You were saying the statement was right, not that he didn't say it?

    Break into personal property, you'll get shot at.

    Punch someone in the face, expect to get hit back.

    Street justice - ask JR Smith about it. Without it, you enable chaos.

    Go to school you'll get shot at. Go to the mall you'll get shot at. Go to the work you'll get shot at.

    Notice anything?

    I have bad news for you. Before you go shooting at anyone, the threat has to justify the show of force even in states with Stand Your Ground. Consult a lawyer before you wind up before a Jury facing life because a Trump tweet said it was OK.

    These are violent riots that have caused a lot of pain and suffering... due to the aggression of people in a mob. Not acting in peace or good faith, but with venom and hate. Plenty of videos show exactly who is doing what while laughing about it. Let me know your reaction when they break into your home ready to throw down.

    Yes, mob violence is a threat. There is no way around it. Sack up and learn to think for yourself.

    Police murdering people in the streets because of the color of their skin for hundreds of years threw the first stone through America's windows. Don't let that context stop you from another fifty BS posts in a row.
