    What the fuck are a population of weakened and hungry, some suffering drug addictions, and also many mentally ill people, going to do protesting against well funded well organized and militarized police armed to the teeth with lethal firearms, and willing to use them?

      How hard do you think it is to riot? It ain’t but like $5 and an underhand throw or two to burn down several buildings. You don’t need organization to do damage, you need numbers and anger.

        That’s a great question actually. But you don’t really have an answer, nor do i. Because neither of us have the balls to do it and prefer an obese soft peaceful life behind our computers.

          I’m not homeless so being involved an homeless riot is a bit far fetched for me at the moment, it isn’t that far fetched for people with literally nothing left to lose as the state pushes them from their spot and burns their shit as they watch (if you didn’t know how cleanouts work).
