I don't disagree, but you're trying to rationalize the group think of seriously pissed off people. There are posters here that are trivializing their plight and even suggesting that racism doesn't exist, and few have even called them out.

I've already stated that I don't condone their behaviour, but I understand it. Whether you agree with it or not, the dialogue is being had and folks are definitely paying attention.

I really doubt any dialogues of any lasting meaning are being had, celebrities will make their seemingly good natured platitudes, people will rage and virtue signal on social media, and the thugs will co-opt this situation to burn and pillage. In a sense a dialogue seems unnecessary, I've not a single person defend the actions of the cop. He's being charged and it seems pretty apparent that he's going to suffer for the evil that he's done. You can't legislate evil. Now if he gets off the hook for what he's done I'll change my opinion completely.

You said that before and I told you before, it won't move the needle - not even a little.

Whether it moves the needle on the balance sheet or not, the policy holders will pay higher premiums after receiving renewal forms. The insurance companies will not take a loss without finding a way to recover some of it. Their first target is always the policy holder.

So was Antifa real when CNN and others hailed them the same as the men who stormed the beach at Normandy or where they a faceless boogey-man then? Because of their hatred and violent destruction I can see why the left idolizes them.

And I guess they wrote repeated pieces for his removal? Got it.

Next time, dont make stupid claims and you wont look so stupid.

What the hell are you talking about? That was strictly your goal post... not mine. I said that there were calls for the removal of Trump by MSNBC, and that this wouldn't happen under a communist regime. That is a fact.

It's likely that the insured building and business owners will pay their deductible and receive recovery for any physical damage to real or personal property in addition to the loss of income (including rental income) from the time of the loss through the period of restoration.

People can be all butthurt about the busted up buildings, but te insurance company's will stroke the check and move on.

Lmao.

First off they just dont stroke the check and move on.

Insurance companies are moving out of any area with high crime at the speed of light and using crime score as the reason. In Nashville alone 6 carriers just backed out of 37211 this quarter. 2 more are about 2.

This then sticks these business owners into surplus lines which is 3 times more on average and is taxed and many times changes BPP to Acv and not rcv which royally screws them.

This increase in cost will be added to the cost of goods which will hurt lower income areas even more.

Many have an abatement in their lease also so the rent will be thrown back on the landlords lessor risk policy IF he opted for that coverage and that means he will raise rent at renewal.

This isn't just a small thing. It destroys neighborhoods in multiple ways.

That police officer should be charged with First Degree Murder
Click to expand...
This has been covered quite a bit on here, especially with @37L1 's good post. But if you charge with him 1st degree murder he will walk and wouldn't have to spend money for an expensive defense lawyer as even a green public defender could get an acquittal.

If you want the cop to go to jail, then 3rd degree Murder/Manslaughter are the right charges.

If you are going to argue that peaceful protest is ineffective I will also argue that violent protest is ineffective. There were decades of violence before the civil rights movement got peaceful. Even with King and his on again off again relation with violence there were contemporaries practicing violence for a long time.

Even now we had fergusson, baltimore round 2/4/10? Even the LA riots.

Not arguing the validity, but the effectiveness. I dont think any of them shift the real conversation. Because most of the violence isnt directed appropriately.

This is just pissed off people blowing off steam. And typically this type of action is highly condemned, but now it comes with the caveat "buttttt"

Do you understand anything about this?

Why do you think insurance premiums are higher in high crime areas? So black churches that get torched should just move on because the insurance company will stroke a check?

Doesn't sound like she learned anything while taking law classes there. Must have smoked dope all day.

Editorial commentary calling for the removal of a president is something that you would never see in a communist nation - but you see it on MSNBC all the time.

Here you go. Bold to help you.

And no you dont. You see it for 1 POTUS and that is exactly what you'd see from aspiring communists. Control the message.

I will know in a couple months, but I am willing to bet this is going to hurt development in these areas for a while.

Not much of a nostradamus, because you can look at similar areas across the country.

But I dont think this is as simple as clean up the mess and then pretend like it never happened for businesses.

I know our building in Midtown has armed its security team. They didnt specify to what extent. And we are a couple miles from the actual hot zones.

If the Military some how were called out and put down Antifa if it were me I would sent the leaders of Antifa to Guantanamo Bay as being dangerous domestic terrorists.

Puzzled...🤔

I still see the left saying the riots are being caused by white supremacists and not their own folks like Antifa.

I’m seeing leftist supporters and Biden’s staff funding bail out money for arrested rioters.

Are they requiring those arrested to show a voter ID to prove Democratic Party affiliations before getting bailed out because if not wouldn’t they be supporting white supremacist rioters with bail money?
