Almost as well as selling milkshakes near wherever reactionaries are speaking.

Like I said, it might be a profitable idea for a tractor trailer with a meth lab in the back. Dope fiends on one side, pyros on the other side of the truck who want those volitile meth lab by-products.

While flammable substances like acetone are involved in some stages in methamphetamine synthesis, the risk of explosion is due to reactions as they're occurring, not because the by-products are particularly energetic or unstable.

It looks a bit like there are people protesting and there are people snapping the opportunity of the chaos to loot and demolish.
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 racism 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 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.

I admit, I've never seen real riots. Massive demonstrations, yes, but they never turned into what I'm watching on the news.
I'm sure there is a lot of herd instinct and "us vs them" in it. A revolution, a tribe war, these feelings are probably intoxicating.
But I'm quite worried that police is a side in this conflict and keeping the protests peaceful is not to their gain.

Then beaker's might shatter if you hit a pot hole,put the meth lab in an old barn or something,but yea I get the idea,what we really need to do is get back to looting because that makes a political point that people really listen too :P

Beakers, that's pretty classy for cooking ice. Soda bottles don't shatter.

Not just the major cities.
Indianapolis riots leave 2 dead after 'multiple shootings' reported downtown, buildings damaged

Quote:
Two people were killed after "multiple shootings" were reported in downtown Indianapolis Saturday night into early Sunday morning as protests over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis turned into violent riots.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said one of the shootings happened around 2:30 a.m. near the intersection of Talbot and Market streets, in the heart of the downtown area.

Between 11:45 p.m. and 3 a.m., five people were reportedly shot throughout the city, three of whom died. Officials clarified at a news conference Sunday morning that two of the deaths took place downtown after the protests became dangerous for a second straight night in Indianapolis.

Taylor confirmed that two people died in the downtown shootings. In addition to those who died, one officer was injured and at least 29 arrests were reported.

Buildings in the city's downtown were damaged, officers deployed tear gas and at least one business was briefly on fire.

Much like Friday, Saturday’s demonstration began peacefully but turned violent as the sun began to set. Taylor said that on Friday, at least 30 businesses were damaged and 27 people were arrested during demonstrations that continued through at least 4 a.m.


Target Announces Temporary Store Closures in Minnesota, Other States
Quote:
Target said Saturday it's closing 70 of its stores in Minnesota because of the protests over the death of George Floyd.

It is also closing stores in other states, including California, Illinois, New York and Oregon among others.

"We anticipate most stores will be closed temporarily," the company said in a statement. "Our focus will remain on our team members’ safety and helping our community heal."

It said employees impacted by store closures will be paid for up to 14 days of scheduled hours during store closures, including COVID-19 premium pay. They will also be able to work at other nearby Target locations, the company added.

Ok, if you are wanting to stick to looting with no concession stand, then we only need a truck load of flammable materials. As a matter of fact, instead of loading an empty trailer, we can just jack a couple of gas tanker trucks then simply ignite the tankers after causing a small leak in the wall of the tanker.


As a matter of fact, we might have a more successful looting venture if we can figure out how to locate Terry Nichols or one of his associates. He might have some ideas about how to engineer a freight train.

Terry Nichols is in Florance Colorado keeping house for King Kong.But the good news is there is a railroad switchyard right across the street from my house,it would be a great way to get looted goods to other parts of the country.

I just thought that if you were looking a trains,there are more than I could count across the street and a better way to smuggle looted goods than a car or a truck because police usually don't do stops on trains.Getting pulled over by police could get you suffocated these days you know,that's why were looting cause committing criminal acts is the best way to win the respect of law enforcement you know.

My thinking about the train idea was that if we were going to burn some stuff while looting, we may as well use a really big "match." That's why I mentioned asking Terry Nichols for help with loading the cargo. Having a hundred or so cars on a train loaded with diesel fuel, cow turds, and other flammable materials then have a hydrogen blimp secured with cables to each car would mean a really big fire to help with the looting and destruction.

That would make quick work of a Target but then there would no working TV set's to loot.

Targets may be a bit fragile, but it may be an effective way to get into a vault at a jewelry store or something if the heat from the blast doesn't weild the jewelry to the walls of the vault.
