CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JUNE 2, 2020
THE RIOTING AND LOOTING IN MANY AMERICAN CITIES OVER THE WEEKEND CAN NO LONGER BE TOLERATED. WHATEVER FORCE IS NECESSARY TO STOP IT SHOULD BE DEPLOYED.
LOOTING IS NOT ABOUT JUSTICE. IT IS ABOUT STEALING PROPERTY BELONGING TO OTHERS, INCLUDING BUSINESSES OWNED BY AFRICAN-AMERICANS AND OTHERS THAT EMPLOY BLACK PEOPLE WHO WILL LIKELY NOW BE OUT OF A JOB. SOME AFRICAN-AMERICAN BUSINESS PEOPLE INVESTED THEIR ENTIRE LIFE SAVINGS IN BUSINESSES THAT ARE NOW DESTROYED. IS THIS JUSTICE FOR THEM? IS IT PEACE FOR THEM? DO THEY DESERVE THIS?
JUSTICE IS BEING SERVED. THE POLICE OFFICER WHO KILLED GEORGE FLOYD HAS BEEN ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH THIRD DEGREE MURDER. THE OTHER OFFICERS AT THE SCENE HAVE BEEN FIRED FROM THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE FORCE AND ARE BEING INVESTIGATED FOR THEIR ROLE. THE SYSTEM IS WORKING.
THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR RACISM, BUT NEITHER IS THERE AN EXCUSE FOR LOOTING, VIOLENCE AND DESTROYING PROPERTY. THERE IS NO JUST CAUSE FOR THIS. AMERICA’S ENEMIES LOVE IT. I’M CAL THOMAS.
