Hello Aaron,

AT> The peaceful protesters are burning buildings down and killing people;

Ah, no. The peaceful protesters are not doing this although I know Donald Trump and other weak minded people put it so.

AT> I'm not gonna join that.

I wouldn't join any rioting or destruction of property either.

I'm not sure how these things become a riot. Anger perhaps.

AT> Holding an entire city hostage, because one color is suffering, that's
AT> not fair to the other colors.

People of color are, and have been for a long time, being killed by police when that is not needed. That is and has been happening on the streets of America.

George Floyd should not have been killed because he used a bad $20 bill (knowingly or not) to buy cigarettes.

That is the reason for the BLM movement.

AT> Citizens shouldn't pay for George Floyd's mistakes or for Derek
AT> Chauvin's mistakes.

That is not the case.

AT> They should voice their concerns to the appropriate law makers in
AT> their districts, but then again, there's no free stuff involved when
AT> you go that route.

Free stuff is not and never was the issue. This was an issue before BLM and is still an issue.

Let's work on the underlying issues that cause these problems and not paint these people as criminals.

Ttyl :-),
