She said that the economy and the virus has caused people to loot. They just want bread. Again, I don't see food in a shoe store.

Nike stores have break room bruh. Refrigerators and everything.

Because your standards are low enough to like him, so it's easy to draw hypocracy. Don't you know what you guys got yourself into electing a moron?

Honestly AOC exhibits nuance that was dead in this country. She's not party-line politician, that alone should make her interesting. Where she agrees with republicans is actually pretty well founded.

Different looters, different problems bro. You think there aren't people starving during the pandemic? Trump's talking about reducing food stamps now, what a savior. He ruins the response and then kills the relief.

People were starving BEFORE the pandemic. Criminals were being criminals before the pandemic, before Trump. It's all a blame game and everyone wants to blame everyone except the damn criminals.

The pandemic put a squeeze on it just like it has everyone. Maybe that final squeezed caused them to finally rise up, I mean do you just expect poor folks to die silently in the night so you don't have to hear about their problems?

AGAIN!!! Show me some video or pictures of looters with shopping carts full of FOOD and I will shut up... Hell, I will vote for Biden.

Did you think that allows you to escape the comparisons? You obviously like him, why do you apply one rule to her and not to him? He is like the abomination of the 10 commandments and yet all these christian extremists are lining up to **** him off. Why? It's pretty clearly hypocritical, I don't think you should be mad when people point it out, just work to reduce it.

This Pandemic Is Already Hitting the Homeless Hard. It’s About to Get Worse.

With as many as 23 million American renters facing eviction, homelessness will likely grow worse.

No rent freeze from Trump, this is the bare minimum of expectations. Other countries are better off both in relief and in impact. Ever heard of pawning bro? You can't carry 70 dollars of groceries but you can certainly carry 70 dollars worth of shoes. It's hard to classify looters though because nobody knows who they are. Certainly not you or I, and Trump is fine making assertions at what he thinks is the issue? Why is AOC not? Nobody's gonna stop for an interview when they've got merchandise in their hands.

LOLOLOLOLOL Yes, these half wit criminals are saying to themselves "Let us loot these stores so that later we can take these stolen goods to a pawn shop so we can have cash to buy food to give to our starving babies."

First and foremost, survival comes first. this means FOOD, WATER, SHELTER.... not TV's, Clothing, Shoes, Watches, Cell Phones, Liquor, Prescription Drugs and so on. Stop justifying this shit.

I think the majority of looters who aren't displaying desperation for hunger and aren't trying to damage the movement are trying to make a point. Look at MLK for example. Most history classes would cite him as the bringer of the civil rights act. I had assumed going through junior high/high school at least that they were making headway with their protests and that when their leader was murdered everyone else was suddenly aware of the problem. What actually happened was completely different, they stopped protesting for change and started rioting for change, and it worked. Unfortunately in the US nobody will take you seriously until it affects them. Affecting their route to work isn't enough, you need to affect them in the wallet. I guess they're understanding the illogic of saying, "lets boycott this company or that company" when their income bracket controls single digit percentages of the wealth in the country.

Essentially what it comes down to is what's helpful? You can say they're all criminals who should go to jail, but the alternative is the status quo that's decimate their community. If you look to the civil rights era what they did was perfectly in line with achieving change, and looking back now I don't think MLK ever would have made a damn bit of difference in Washington if there were no riots. This is the sad reality of the US.

Back to AOC, what's helpful? I think her response is more helpful than silence. When you allow people to be demonized for being desperate you inherently discredit their desperation. Desperation comes from many directions though and I think that's your fundamental misunderstanding. You can be desperate for food, obviously. You can also be desperate from oppression. Look to the experiences of the west side of Berlin during the cold war or africans during apartheid, you'll quickly understand that food and water isn't everything.
