They are not looting those stores. They are entitled to the merchandise because obama promised them they would not have to pay for anything in the future!

I’m just curious about this athletic store, are its employees and clientele mostly Afro-American? Why don’t race-relation enraged blacks quit trashing their own neighborhoods and go trash some remote white suburb? Nah, that would be closer to being logical.

These are being reported as being described as the anarchists types. The typical thugs that look for events such as this to stir up crap.

I’d love to see those who seek justice for Oscar Grant to pop a cap in these anarchists’ asses for using their cause for these means.
