I bought quite a bit of gear at Central in the ‘70s. I too am angry — horrified in fact — over the killing of the black man at the hands of a lunatic cop. I hope he’s eventually charged with murder 1 and spends the rest of his life in prison. But I don’t share Don’s lack of anger at the looters

The looters have stolen from the protesters - obliterated their message - as much as they have stolen from the merchants. You won't see that image of Derek Chauvin kneeling on George Floyd's neck after a couple of weeks, but videos of looters carrying big screen TVs out of Walmart are going to
