> since peaceful protestors looted my local Apple Store
There is a difference between peaceful protestors and people who engaged in looting. Don't conflate the two for the sake of a snarky comment.
- haram_masala 6y agoThe parent commenter was making a facetious reference to the way the protests were reported in the news media. They surely know there’s an actual difference, which was the point.
- tomcam 6y agoGlad someone gets it
- elbigbad 6y agoMaybe, or maybe they're one of those that use protests as a scapegoat for everything from the Apple store being closed to new instances of coronavirus. You just can't tell, so it's not worth engaging.
- tomcam 6y agoEspecially when you don’t have a clue. I had to call mall security to find out that it was closed because 20% of the mall was looted. No local media coverage, and the police wouldn’t tell me why. Can you think of a better way to get the information? It took me quite a lot of work.
- tomcam 6y agoWhile we’re issuing commands , don’t tell me how to think when you completely lack a of sense of humor. By the way, the local news media never mentioned the store was looted. I had to find out the hard way. All they talked about was peaceful protesters.
