Alternet made a good point about how sports fans get a "free pass" to tear shit up. On the other hand, if a single window gets broken at a BLM protest/rally, it's all over the news with negativity and judgment that NEVER gets attached to this bullshit. In fact, one person right here even said outright that they're getting getting TIRED of hearing people "act like this is a new problem," which I can only interpret to mean complaining about it.
I think it's less a racial thing than a "political establishment" issue. Sports riots get a pass because they don't threaten the status quo. The BLM movement, the DAPL protest, and other such activism seeks to actually
change things and take power out of the hands of people who abuse it. The powerful don't like that, which is why people who protested Trump's inauguration were looking at 50 years in prison while a handful of misdemeanors get issued for millions of dollars in property damage over a fucking game.
Every once in a while, declare peace. It confuses the hell out of your enemies. (76th Rule of Acquisition)
