The Joy of Looting

Fill the car up, get us some burgers and coke.
Call my Antifa connection for the latest dope!


Bring a bottle of bricks, my hammer  and workman's gloves.
Goggles, helmet and wait for an officer to shove.


I'm really out to bring down this nation!
I am here to be the newest Communist sensation!


Law breaking today is de riegur!
I have no time for any American laws, you hear?


Now don't go saying that millions died for me.
I got that new American dream, called "Free,Free,Free."


Let's hop in the car, turn on Throwback Jamz.
Don't forget the malt liquor, ice cold..in tall cans.


I don't want a job, have you lost your mind?
Got my free phone, just want brand new rags~any kind!


Listen up, kids, you each got a big old sack.
That's right, grab anything throw it in your sack!


Such fun, eh, to ruin all that we see?
Now bring the loot to the car, ruining country and family!

Hello Panagiota, Looting is against the law. It should not be done during a protest. Taking people stuff is not right. Would they like it to happen to them? Enjoy your day my friend. Hugs Darlene xxx-ooo.

Hi Darlene. Of course it is. Looters use any excuse to loot. They play the victim of something to justify actions.Good people of sound mind with a moral upbringing do not STEAL. It's a kind of mental illness under the guise of political righteousness supported by TV shows that pumps them up, even more.a protest has no looting. A riot is to harm anyone and take anything, it's very sad. There is no civil right in the USA to steal or harm others. Like,,,never! Panagiota xxxooo

They're not protesters, they only care about themselves. Those cops done wrong and now they'll pay for their actions. Those poor people, black and white people losing their livelihoods to these scum. Tom

Exactly! The signs have obscenities on them these loons carry and newsmen are attacked. People of many races and colors own these businesses. Lives and incomes are demolished. Now neighborhoods can't shop for basics. Drug stores are destroyed. Police stations burnt to the ground.God is in the toilet. Churches closed. Violence against out fellow beings is applauded. Gang-rule, Tom. Kids taught Looting 101? I almost cried when zi saw that..Panagiota Panagiota

Well, you got you chance for looting this past weekend! Ha Ha, I told my husband that it seems crazy for all these black and white people to go on a looting spree. Why not lock up the policeman that did wrong and throw away the key? Some black women stood in front of their businesses and plead with looters not to destroy their places of business.

There are laws in this country. The policeman is in jail. We do not run this country by what the mob wants done with him. He will have a trial by Jury with a judge. People wanted the death penalty removed. Well, now they have it. He may get life in prison but that's all. The victim's brother knows this looting is wrong. He talks sense. Looters are respected? Police are not. Anyone calling for the constitution to be upheld is evil and should be shot? Read the Poetry here. OMG!Looters come in all colors. PR
