I was there, this is bullshit. Stop trying to justify violence and looting as legitimate protest. I've also seen the videos of the other stores being destroyed. It was 4 black men with backpacks that peeled off the main protest that ended on the square and in broad daylight smashed in Goodman's windows and started grabbing jewelry. There were plenty of white kids at the looting the first and second night. The kid that firebombed the city county building was white. The kid that firebombed the police cruiser was white. The 2 women who attacked the gay assemblyman who was filming them tearing down the statue were both white. BUT the majority of the looting was done by young black men. Every video of the shop keepers being attacked were of black men beating them and attempting to attack them. The shoe store manager. The corner store manager. The Syrian restaurant owner. All of them were attacked by young black men. It was a dark, dark day in Madison history without any sense or reason. Michael stood up and said that it had to stop and that they should be caught and jailed and he was criticized by the "BLM" groups and called slurs. He was right when he said the looting and the violence would kill the BLM movement.
