I don't understand why every looter I see photos of, is stealing toilet paper.

Because after they burn all the stores it might be hard to find?

The one the media mis-characterized?

Yep, that very same statement!

 

[SophieRose]

Yup. In one day-over 100 crimes.

Baltimore - 26th largest city in US with the 8th largest police force.

HUGE fire somewhere

I hear ya. Too bad old ladies don't rule the world. Some serious people smarts, there.

ETA: wrong quote. Was supposed to be the old lady comment.....sorry

 

[BayouBelle_LA]

Then how about "rioters" "miscreants" or "criminals"? The reason that other word is not allowed is because it is typically used to define criminals of a certain skin tone.

We have plenty of words to describe the actions here. We needn't use race-specific ones. Yes, I know the word was not originally used as such but contemporary usage is, indeed racist and I applaud WS for disallowing it.

Call it what you want but a t*** by any other name would still stink. jmo

When Sandy struck NG checked ID and would not let anyone in if you did not live there.

There is a large fire burning at Federal Street and Gay Street. Motorists should avoid this area. Expect delays.

Lol, I am not the boss of WS. But those that are made that decision. Take it up with them. It is censored for a reason.

 

[ATasteOfHoney]

.....and the taxpayers pick up the costs of the destruction---sure, no problem.

As long as the rioters have enough "room"; you know, to um, express themselves & "purge" as they will.

Disgraceful

I see your point, but apparently, WS sees the trend of using that word in a racist or inflammatory way and has decided it is censored and I quite agree with that assessment.

It was the other day in a different thread someone said that word was the new "n" word and bam ** I understand why....

I never even knew that word has been censored here.

I don't really understand it being censored... although I respect the rules here...but to me it means ANYONE of any COLOR who is acting like a criminal.

I never knew it was meant for only one race because where I live we use that word to describe all criminals no matter the color of their skin.

Its interesting how some see a word only one way and others see it totally different.
