“When the looting starts the shooting starts” is a common turn of phrase used to describe the tendency for store owners to protect their livelihoods by taking up arms.

You have to pick and choose your battles, and this is one that Twitter is going to lose in the end. If they put the label on ALL posts, end of story. But they won't.

So it's begun. This is the start of the end.

How is Trump's comments glorifying violence? Looks like angry people you can't talk any sense into are glorifying violence to me.

ByBL- ALL MSM needs to tone down their rehtoric about President Trump !

Looting is illegal but you shouldn’t shoot people for it unless they’re stealing from homes. Homeowners have a right to defend themselves. Businesses have the right to file an insurance claim.

Maybe it's also about Hong Kong and Taiwan and what he may do there.

Speaking of political. Yes you are not a political expert, but you clearly are a leftist that can't pass up going off on a rant. Can you not talk about business. Not your liberal views.
