thank you cristal and sugar for sharing this information with us. we need to speak up about this, regardless if this is a “kids community.” we are all going to grow up at some point and need to realize what is happening in our world. providing the resources to help really does make a difference, regardless of how small of a community this is. i’ve signed the petitions and i’ve done my own research on some of the things mentioned in this post, as well as in the comments.

the people who are using the riots as an advantage to loot places and destroy small businesses that have nothing to do with the situation are utter scum. let george floyd rest in peace. do not tarnish his name. destroying small businesses is not what he would’ve wanted, and we all know that damn well.

if you’re unaware of what i’m talking about, here’s a short video explaining and showing some of the things looters are doing.

DESTROYING PLACES AND BUSINESSES, ESPECIALLY SMALL ONES THAT HAVE WORKED SO HARD TO GET THERE, THAT IS NOT PROTESTING. THAT IS THEFT. THAT IS RUINING PEOPLES LIVES. do NOT participate in these events of RUINING lives. protest safely, peacefully, do not loot stores because other people are doing it. even if you think that is a form of ‘protesting,’ you are doing it as a criminal.

some undercover police are starting these kinds of things. do NOT participate in that under any circumstances. even if you think the crowd is your friend, they may betray you.

please stay safe everybody. do what you can to help spread awareness. sign the petitions. protest peacefully and safely. don’t be a scum by looting, even if you think it’s ‘cool’ or see other people doing it.

thank you for sharing this and speaking up. stay safe.

only did this for clout, no kap.

not sure where you even got that from and im not gonna question it. i didnt know talking about a topic that NEEDS to be talked about is looking for clout now.
if you think anyone speaking up is looking for clout, you are part of the problem. put your petty remarks elsewhere.

how is he apart of the problem when the movement is for him LOOOOOL

I may be from the other side of the world, but coming from a person who wants bring justice and equal rights to all, this is important to have all black people to be treated like everyone else, equally and fairly. This has been going on for more than 60 years, and enough is enough. I applaud everyone that has shared, donated, protested and even just discussed it with their families/friends.

If you are interested in donating to the #BLM movement, here are two trustworthy charities:

https://minnesotafreedomfund.org/donate

If you are attending to any protests, please equip:
- goggles
- masks
- milk
- water
- sneakers
- hoodie (to cover your identity)

If you are going to record, please try to blur out peoples faces to avoid targets on those people.
Please do not take advantage of the situation and use it as an excuse to loot or commit arson, especially on small businesses. America is still under a pandemic; people are already suffering.
If you see undercover cops doing illegal activities such as burning down buildings to make protesters look bad, PLEASE RECORD IT.

Please stay safe; it's not a peaceful protest anymore with tear gas everywhere and rubber bullets flying everywhere. If police are throwing tear gas and shooting rubber bullets and trying to chase protesters, then RUN.

Much love.
