I see scores of thieves stealing brand name non-essential crap for themselves. I see crowds using the name of a dead man to vent their frustrations about being locked down under quarantine. I see crowds of foolish youth banding together out in the streets. Holding signs. Making noise. Leaving fire and trash behind them as they go. All the while the rich and powerful are laughing themselves silly at the frustrated masses sweating and getting pelted by rubber bullets.

You could fill your house will all the pointless junk to your heart's content. They could care less. They don't live among us. They don't shop in our neighborhoods. They don't work in our local little cities. Yet for some reason people are attacking the streets of the places they must return to for the years to come and share with their loved ones.

When Trump was elected many states took to the streets. Did it remove him from office? What a waste of man power. You could scream till you faint. Self immolate on live tv for the whole word to see. That won't change anything. The governors, mayors, councilmen and women, the president, the congressmen and women, the ceos of billion dollar monopoly corporations and oil companies, the generals and secretaries and officials of state/education/commerce.

You could smash the brains in of a hundred cops and leave them dead on the streets. Will the government controlling us bat an eye? No. They will squash you with one of the many branches of military they can mobilize at their will. Police can be replaced. Police are local. Police are everywhere and are small potatoes.

Why are they outside retail stores? Is that where your rebellious hearts seeking justice and retribution took you? Is that where you feel your voices will be carried farthest? The news lies with cheesy pandering hoping to make you complacent obedient citizens. The government lies to keep us working to death for the bare minimum while they fatten their own pockets and that of their elite comrades. If you want to carry out a movement. If you want to take a stand. Start a proper rebellion at the root. Knock down and burn away the rot that stands in the way. They led us into terror. Wars, recessions, hate fueled discrimination spawning administrations, leaving us struggling during a pandemic.

March to those places that they operate out of. Their beloved little palaces too. Go on and tear all that down. So they can't hide. So they know they are not untouchable. So they know all of us are not just bleeding heart liberal hipsters or opportunistic thieving vandals with a lot of misguided drama that can't harness their power as an angry people. I've been in the system. In various forms. I've been owned as a child, a teenager, a young adult. My father fought the government and was met with being silenced under an unjust gag order. He lost his life due to negligence and my voice as a transwoman of Hispanic background seeking help was vastly ignored. I understand feeling like the cards are against you from the start. Seeing how nobody who is supposed to have your best interest at heart and protect you, not only fail you but be held unaccountable for it.

Just because I’m Black, I’m not a criminal
