Baltimore’s violent protesters are right: Smashing police cars is a legitimate political strategy
Salon ^ | April 28, 2015 | Benji Hart

Posted on 04/28/2015 2:36:14 PM PDT by MeshugeMikey

As a nation, we fail to comprehend Black political strategy in much the same way we fail to recognize the value of Black life.

We see ghettos and crime and absent parents where we should see communities actively struggling against mental health crises and premeditated economic exploitation. And when we see police cars being smashed and corporate property being destroyed, we should see reasonable responses to generations of extreme state violence, and logical decisions about what kind of actions yield the desired political results.

I’m overwhelmed by the pervasive slandering of protesters in Baltimore this weekend for not remaining peaceful. T

Classic Benji...

I hope someone legitimately strategizificates they politics on Benji's face. And I was going to say what they could do to Benji with that traffic cone I keep seeing, but I actually think Benji would enjoy that.

Go smash Benji’s property.

It’s a legitimate strategy.

Only a sociopath would see reason in the destructive actions of a mob of rioters.

Nuff said.

Since 2001.

I’m looking at this from a purely analytical point of view.
Targeting the group that you perceive is your enemy is more legitimate than burning down your neighborhood.

Need any more proof that the left WANTS the street savages to burn and steal?
The left loves it. it’s the ‘oppressed ‘ underclass rising up against the ‘oppressors’.

This guy is kidding,right? This has got to be satire, or irony.

If not, he needs to be put away as a danger to himself and others.

OK so blocking an abortuary is over the top but looting and burning and completely trashing a city is fine?

premeditated economic exploitation.

Economic exploitation consists of unfairly taking part of the value produced by a person or group.

What value they produce is being taken from them, unfairly or otherwise?

It is fairly obvious that if you calculated this "community's" balance of payments, they take in a great deal more than they produce.

IOW, by economic definition they are the exploiters.

a short excerpt form that great teologican Frank Zappa:

Well, I seen the fires burnin’
And the local people turnin’
On the merchants and the shops
Who used to sell their brooms and mops
And every other household item
Watched the mob just turn and bite ‘em
And they say it served ‘em right
Because a few of them are white,
And it’s the same across the nation
Black and white discrimination
Yellin’ “You can’t understand me!”
‘N all that other jazz they hand me
In the papers and TV and
All that mass stupidity
That seems to grow more every day
Each time you hear some nitwit say
He wants to go and do you in
Because the color of your skin
Just don’t appeal to him
(No matter if it’s black or white)
Because he’s out for blood tonight

Smashing police cars is a legitimate political strategy

Then so are rooftop snipers. If this goes on, everybody will be hearing about .338 Lapua.

People can only take so much.
