It is severely crazy here. I’m about 40 mins from the cities, however they’ve been also attacking the suburbs south as well... they started to burn homes last night too. Protestors were begging and pleading for them to not attack these homes. They then helped families flee their burning homes to safety. It’s absolutely mad. Please pray for us.

you don't need prayers. you need protection. if the govt wont provide it perhaps the citizens of this country should.

its times like these that our divisions allow this to happen. a lack of respect for each other leads to tragedy.

At that point you must protect your home by any means necessary. They're going to try and spill this into residential areas, I've heard the same thing, no one has the right to take your life, livelihood, or property because they "feel" like it, not a cop, not a rioter.

I'd suggest organizing with your neighbors, NOW. Tonight is going to be rough, protect your community.

Luckily, I’m not really that affected given I’m several cities away. The areas closer, most definitely. And they are banding together thankfully. Everyone is grouping together to protect their homes/businesses (or trying to) from the people coming from all over the states to destroy. We can’t really go out, most places have a lock down curfew. I can just wish safety to those danger in that area :/

You systematically f**k people for so long they are going to bite back the killing by police was the match for the fuel that has been getting dumped for years. You foster a system where your race determines the force used and the gap between rich and poor grows ever wider this is what you get, you make it known peaceful protest does f**k all but is received with overly aggressive bullshit this is what you get.

People are pissed the f**k off, escalating violence by police is going to f**k people off same as it always has been, middle class and upper class f**ks are getting so out of touch in their cushy little bubbles it is ridiculous

Even in their own country just look at how they have treated the natives in recent years and still do

All symptoms of a dying empire. As the power and influence falls around the world, things will start to crash internally, tensions will rise and chaos will ensue incrementally.
