You could even try the morning after pill idea when things are back to normal. You can get morning after pills all you want in new England. Market them on Craigslist to ship to Alabama. :lol:
You think if you looted a pharmacy,you could make more money selling morning after pill's to the bible belt,then selling the Dilaudid or oxycodone on the street.

Is it hard to get the morning after pill in some parts of the south? 8) Looters have so many options there spoiled for choice,yea and don't forget you get most of what you need to make chrystal meth at a pharmacy too.

It may take a Ceaucescu, a Hoenecker, or in the case of the Deep South and Utah/Idaho, a Hoxha to undo Trump‘s damage.
Ceaucescu was so paranoid about germs he would bring his own bedsheets with him to hotels.

Why make it when it's available behind the counter as Desoxyn or Methedrine?

Protesters take on driver aiming bow and arrow at them in Salt Lake City

Quote:
An angry driver in downtown Salt Lake City who yelled “All Lives Matter” from his car window whipped out a bow and arrow and aimed at protesters in the streets — who tackled him to the ground and pummeled him.

“He got out of his car, yelled ‘that’s it’, and shot into the crowd before being tackled,” Twitter user @Gingersonfire wrote, posting a video of the incident.

“He was yelling and me, and then aimed his bow at a black man standing behind me. The black man saw it coming, charged, and tackled him.”

It’s unclear if the driver, who later identified himself on a local television news interview as Brandon McCormick, actually fired off an arrow.

A second video from a different angle shows protesters crouching behind cars near McCormick as he swings the weapon around, before a group of people tackled him. The crowd then flipped the driver’s car, claimed people on social media, where McCormick was dubbed “Hawkeye” after the Marvel character who uses a bow and arrow.

Police took McCormick, who also had a large knife, into custody, KSL.com reported.

A bloodied McCormick, with a cut above his eye, later told a reporter what happened, claiming protesters set upon him after he shouted from inside his car.

“First I got beat up when I yelled, ‘All Lives Matter,’ then I pulled out weapons, then I got beat up some more, then cops grabbed me and my car got totaled,” he said.

McCormick claimed two black men “beat me through my open window” before he got out with the weapon.

“I’m a changed civilian, I’ve changed my life, I back up the law enforcement,” he said, adding, “I know some cops are bad.”

When the reporter urged him to see a doctor for his cut, McCormick said, “I can’t afford to, I’m on unemployment.”

Riots Destroy $30M Affordable Housing Project
The Midtown Corner project had been slated to open in spring 2021.

St. Paul-based developer Wellington Management Inc. woke up on Thursday morning to find its under-construction, 190-unit apartment project in its Minnehaha Commons redevelopment near the intersection of Lake Street and Minnehaha Avenue in south Minneapolis had been torched and burned to the ground.

The six-story, 190-unit affordable housing project had been slated to open in the spring of 2021. A city of Minneapolis worksheet on the project listed the total development cost at approximately $37 million, including contingency and reserve funds; land and construction costs were about $30 million. The apartment project has been known as Midtown Corner.

Watch the video, I'm not sure his account is supported by the footage.

I posted earlier that right wing militia are stalking rioters taking advantage of the maelstrom. The police/national guard are focusing on shirtless rioters with sticks and molotov cocktails and seem to missing the men in camouflage gear carrying loaded weapons. Charlottesville all over again.

It's good publicity for the alt-right setting fire to black housing projects to make it seem they are incapable of living in urban areas. My guess is they want future housing for poor blacks to be put further away from their precious white spaces.


Yeah these guys are so horrible protecting people’s businesses

I'm sure they won't be crying over black businesses going up in smoke....the rioters are helping them without realising

I honestly wonder how the police and society would react to those guys if we changed just one thing about them:
Their skin color.

can’t stop seeing a split-screen image, Colin Kaepernick peacefully protesting taking a knee to protest racist policing on one side, a white cop casually choking a black guy to death with his knee on the other. President Trump voiced outrage at Colin, barely commented on the conduct of the cop.

i hope he is at least aware of the potential consequences.

Kip, I completely understand your frustration right now - lots of the video clips have made my blood boil over the last few days - but I kinda feel like we shouldn’t be indirectly raising the possibility of killing people, or posting images of dead bodies.

Not only is there a strong mechanism for removing the President in November, at which point it will be possible to charge him for the wrongdoing exposed in the Mueller report and elsewhere, but changing the president will not fix the issue of police brutality, which requires root-and-branch police reform as well as prosecutors becoming more willing to charge police officers.
