Pulitzer Prize-Winning New York Times Writer: ‘Destroying Property Isn’t Violence’
Breitbart ^ | June 3, 2020 | Tristan Justice

Posted on 06/03/2020 10:18:23 AM PDT by C19fan

New York Times Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Nikole Hannah-Jones attempted to justify the ruthless rioting terrorizing American cities Tuesday by claiming simply, “property can be replaced.” “Violence is when an agent of the state kneels on a man’s neck until all of the life is leached out of his body,” Hannah-Jones said on CBS News. “Destroying property, which can be replaced, is not violence.”

So if a nation tells the residents to flee first, then nuking a city is not violence? Got it.

exactly- ALL Liberals practically say the same idiotic thing- it’s ok for anarchists to do what they do- because these liberals know their own homes are well protected- they don’t have any skin in the game- so no worries for them-

Many Liberals i believe are either mentally ill, or Devil Driven- perhaps even both- I
ll bet many liberals all over the country are cheering the violence- our own liberal relative said “They are only acting this way because they are scared’- in her mind, she felt they are doing nothing wrong, that it’s republican’s faults for causing fear in liberals- Unreal!

That Pulitzer Prize title is sooo overrated. Now it’s just a badge to tell people that you are a leftist who has lost their mind and are rewarded for stupid remarks that others would blush and be ashamed to mention in public.

Violence is also when a retired police captain in St. Louis was killed when he was attempting to protect a friend’s pawn shop from the looters. Violence is also when a young woman in Iowa, who was just leaving a “peaceful protest” and sitting in her car, was shot through by a stay bullet and killed instantly. Leaving the killing of innocents out of the equation, violence is also when businesses in black neighborhoods are looted and destroyed. Violence is when those people no longer have a places to buy necessities of life. Violence is when people who owned and worked for those destroyed businesses can no longer earn a living.

The Pulitzer prize is currently handed out to the writer that most effectively advances the cause of proletarian internationalism worldwide during the year. Similar to the Lenin prize.

How about this property:

Uncle Hugo’s Bookstore Burned Down in Riots

Those books cannot be replaced.

Fahrenheit 451?

We did 1984.

What is next?

If this babe fails to see the truth now, just wait til much of N.Y. is gone.
Small bodega’s, Ma and Pa joints, gone. Large stores too will use this excuse to get the hell out not to mention how many rich folks who live there will go.
You all liberal cities can go fish if you think the rest of the country will pay to rebuild your crap holes.

When someone steals the fruits of your labor they are stealing a part of your life.

Theft is theft. Thugs are thugs. Criminals are criminals.

All the rest is b*&^s(*t!

So this cretin is the authority on the definition of violence. Got it.

...and the New York Times fish wrap approves and publishes such nonsense. Got it.

One can then conclude that the New York Times is full of cretins.

"Hannah-Jones said on CBS News. “Destroying property, which can be replaced, is not violence.”

What is your personal residence address, Ms. Jones?

Asking for a rioter friend.

Their demented world of delusion includes double standards all over the place. Destroying white and black businesses? Not really violence. Next: Watch for killing us isn’t actually murder due to delayed 1619 slavery payback.

Remember Bill Clinton’s withdrawn nominee Lani Guinier who said blacks should all be given more than one vote each to make up for disproportionate harm done by slavery and past racism in past votes. Even Bill C. couldn’t defend it.

Examples summarized... Replacing equal one person one vote with “cumulative voting”, a system in which each voter has “the same number of votes as there are seats or options to vote for, and they can then distribute their votes in any combination....”
multi-member “superdistricts”, a strategy which “modifies winner-take-all majority rule....She coined the term “confirmative action” to reconceptualize issues of diversity, fairness, and affirmative action. The process of confirmative action, she says, “ties diversity to the admissions criteria for all students....
