If you are going to get into counterfeit drugs, don't forget about getting some Capsaicin to give away to crystal meth smokers. Trust me the reaction on this idea is worth more than the price for selling it.

Right, would be like smoking peppers. Plus it is highly volitile and flammable. Of you light it, it may react to the flame like smoking a bowl of gasoline.

A USA TODAY article says protesters are starting to think violence is diminishing there political message.

God what a radical notion,looting,stealing and burning things down might disvalidate your political message,would have been a great eureka to happen a few days ago. :mrgreen:

They wouldn't need free samples, they just need to give SWAT cigarette lighters to go with their gas grenades. Or for that matter, hand out cans of spray paint, hair spray and WD-40 instead of gas to the foot patrol guys.

I wonder how profitable it would be to sell flammable materials at a protest opposed to your oxycodone idea?

I just got an idea so you can kill two birds with one stone, VS. you mentioned looting a pharmacy because they have everything you need to make meth, which also creates some highly explosive by-products. Pull a tractor trailer up near the rally with a meth lab in the back and signs posted for dope fiends to line up on one side for the meth, then pyromaniacs to form a different line for purchasing the by-products.

i gotta be honest, the worst looting in america i ever saw happened several weeks ago, when a handful of aristrocrats and billionaires collected $500 BILLION dollars in stimulus money during a pandemic that left tens of millions of the rest of us unemployed.

while some recieved a $1200 check and had to decide if they feed themselves or keep their home.

Some footages I've seen clearly indicate those looting and those protesting are not the same people, at the very least, the vast majority of the protesters are not into looting.

I know of at least two protests in my county.

The protests I know about were the one in the Orange Circle and the one in Santa Ana. Apparently, some guy in Santa Ana was planning on shooting protesters with guns, which is dangerously close to where I live.

Agreed!

It isn't politically correct to call it looting when the political and business elites work together to do it, even though they'll always steal more than anyone who ever gets called a looter.

And the police seems more visible fighting the former not the latter... Maybe because chaos and destruction plays to their hands, diverts the attention from the original problem of police brutality, justifies using force against the protesters.

The police is a side in this conflict, not just order-keeper they should be.

There are people that are really mad and there are others that are using the opportunity of law and order disintegrating for personal gain. This is true now and it was true back during the 1960s civil unrest. What was also true then and now is that is that conservatives will emphasize the personal gain motive and progressives the anger motive. What is also true now and then is that conservatives will perceive the explanation of anger motivation as being excuse making by soft on crime snowflakes, and liberals will perceive the personal gain excuses made by racists and white privilege.

One must remember we are dealing with mostly NT’s here and the herd or mob mentality explanation can not be underestimated. When you combine that with free stuff with non consequences or anger motivation you get people doing things that they would never normally do.

I see the old “outside agitator” explanation is back. Back in the day it was mostly conservatives that used this canard. Now it is both sides. Progress(SMH). Outside agitators explanations are largely excuse making denial. People can not get it in their thick heads that this is us, or at least part of us. We are not better than this. Not that there are not outside agitators that sometimes come in and exploit situations. Exploit is the key word, something in us has to be there for them to exploit. None of them point a gun at people and say riot or else.

I am old enough to remember the 60s and Rodney King riots and the same arguments being made. I feel I am living in the unmade riot sequel of the movie “Groundhog Day”. This is a sequel I did not voluntarily pay to see. Very frustrating and depressing.
