The dollar tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and wypipo

Where else am I supposed to get $1 hair products for free?

I think Snopes has verified that that was Jefferson's original quote - being as prophetic as he was people at the time didn't understand and omitted "dollar" from future printings.

I really want to come up with some funny analogy about looting a dollar tree but frankly looting a dollar tree is already more cringe than anything I could compare it to.

You would have to take every item in the store undamaged to be worth the fine you would get for robbing it.

You know, for once, the target isn't 100% self-destructive. Dollar Tree, thankfully, isn't franchised. I doubt they knew that going into it, and I doubt they were concerned if it were or not, but thankfully, it isn't. So at the very least they were only ruining the lives of several local workers, not several local workers and an owner.

What comedian was it, who, years ago, joked about there being signs warning about how shoplifters would be prosecuted --- in a Sally Anne store.

I didn't laugh then, because I already knew damn well why.

Can't remember who it was, whether it was Richord Pryor, or just some rando on Just For Laughs.

"The voice of the unheard!"

-> Looting their own neighbourhoods.

Or maaaaby it's violent thieves who saw an opportunity for gibz. And the media canonizing violent criminals who die or get killed resisting arrest is fueling riots that give cover to looters, and incentivize ambivalent people to join the looting and burning.

Another observation: You know what I've never seen looted? A marijuana dispensary

They get robbed pretty frequently.

Not looted, but extorted. Uncle Ike's on Capitol Hill in Seattle has been threatened by gangster protection rackets repeatedly lest their popular neighborhood business burn down without a 30% protection fee. Legal retail weed is completely a cash business in WA because of federal law/payment processor restrictions. It's actually a pretty risky business financially.

Well that's what you get when you combine cash business with numbnuts gun control laws. If it happened in Arizona, I never heard of it. There were also constantly visibly armed guards outside, and I would assume the employees were packing heat, too, if I were a criminal. Of course, you could say the same about a lot of businesses.

Though of course the mob doesn't advertise their protection racket. Assuming they aren't running the MJ game in the first place.

If my wildest fantasy was going into a Dollar store and taking anything I wanted, I'd probably kill myself.

White people do some shit, but I have never seen white people loot a foot locker.

That’s because when “white” people actually do something, the world quakes.

Thieving material possessions is as much a sign of purposelessness as it is avarice.

White people WALKED through the US Capitol and then obeyed orders to disperse and then OBEYED the curfew and that was considered sedition!

Sure did provoke a reaction. Locking the whole godforsaken city down with Nat'l Guard. I'd say they were afraid, but I'm constantly assured by ITGs that civilians pose no threat to the DC-based government.

The media dug up a word: insurrection. I've never heard that word used in the context of a political protest. Even the ones that actually overthrow governments, though I've heard synonyms. It's just weird that they found a 5 dollar word and decided to use it all of the sudden but only to apply to one specific incident.

Because Dollar Tree stores are all that are left there after last Summer's vibrant and colorful and peaceful protests.

I saw 1 black person, maybe 2. The rest are whites. Oh, cops, these ones the media won't care about!

Fuck you, it's called peaceful protesting. And they hit up a Five Below too, to promote diversity.

Not incredibly different, but I think relevant because it means that they’re trying to create a specific type of imagery that maybe wasn’t happening to the degree they wanted it to.
