Most (if not all) of these are in defense of property. It's sad to give up your life for property. Remember, property can be replaced, lives cannot. Personally

Personally, I think that protesting and destroying property is a true valid form of protest. For instance: the Civil Rights Act of 1968 wasn't passed until after the riots.
- Natsu 6y agoYou raise an excellent point. You should torch your own home in protest and give away anything valuable that you have to the peaceful protesters. It's only stuff, but destroying racism is forever. Just think of how awesome a person that would make you, helping to destroy racism by sacrificing your own home and all your easily replaceable stuff.
- vorpalhex 6y agoProperty can't always be replaced, especially when it's peoples livelihoods. Unfortunately while Target may have full insurance policies, locally owned businesses (especially those owned by minorities and people of color) probably are either very underinsured or not insured at all. When you try to burn down someones business or especially their home, they're going to respond with violence. They're also going to suddenly go from being sympathetic to your cause to extremely antagonistic. There are two ways to achieve peace, and everyone putting down their weapons and agreeing to talk it out is the more recent of the two. We must always seek civility.
