Buffalo716 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) Has turned violent in the last few hours So sad for my city and prayers for everyone to stay safe Mayor Brown was very respectful of the protesters earlier in the day and only asked for peace. To show the world what the city of good neighbors is about Prayers for our New York Brothers in Rochester as well Edited May 31, 2020 by Buffalo716 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 All the way west in Salt Lake City as well. Honestly it's fairly tame here, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiotAct Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Several of my fb friends are trying to normalize this behavior... makes me sick, quite frankly. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it should be normalized. That's pretty much the opposite of the point, I think. People are venting their anger at perceived injustice. When people lose credibility is when looting starts happening. Nothing undermines a cause like trying to get a free pass at shoplifting. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo716 Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 This is not what my city is about. These are not buffalonians looting and vandalizing These are paid agitators from out of state, inciting violence and causing mayhem in my community Violence never solves problems, if you live by the sword you die by the sword 5 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) What city isn’t I’m wondering. I know Columbus and Chicago are both in chaos. Ohio national guard are here. It’s pretty terrifying. Edited May 31, 2020 by YoloinOhio 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mead107 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) If any of the protesters get arrested (in NY state) for causing damage won’t they get a appearance ticket? thanks Cuomo. Edited May 31, 2020 by mead107 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) It’s a friggin’ mess in Atlanta. The murderer has been charged with murder. The other three cops need to be charged with something as well, IMO. That does not entitle anyone to loot Kroger for food or steal a big new TV. ALL the criminals need to face the music! Sorry if that’s too “real”, I’ll gladly delete. . Edited May 31, 2020 by Augie 10 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched many dozens of looters running several blocks to destroy a small business right across the street from my building., These were not "out off towners". As we speak, people are lighting fires in neighborhoods and looting firetrucks as the crews are fighting fires. They are jumping on trucks and smashing the windows with firehoses as they try too hijack the trucks. These aren't out of town folks...

These aren't out of town folks... people have been getting bussed from all over the country to Buffalo for this protest and riot I respectfully disagree, the majority of locals are peaceful.. the agitators for the most part are not local are paid rioters 1 minute ago, Bangarang said: Seems like a lot of Mayors are saying the violence is coming from out of town/state people.

I do because I've been in the city and there's tons of people from out-of-state here right now for the protest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t believe it for a second. I'm sure there are some that roam town to town. It always seems to happen after peaceful local protests have wrapped up. But this is still going on here in. Rochester--all over town, not at the Public Safety Building as earlier, but in neighborhoods ] This is local for sure. 9 hours ago, mead107 said: Yes they are. The paid rioters have moved on to the next town. This stuff is happening right now., Edited May 31, 2020 by Mr. WEO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
