Yeah it's def possible it came from a lab but the burden of proof is on them to prove that it did come from the lab. Obviously it's important to figure out how it started but I'm more concerned with focusing on keeping people safe/developing a vaccine than I am with figuring out whether or not it came from batwing soup. What's done is done, trying to pin this on China or North Korea isn't going to help anything at this point unless there's credible evidence that points to it being a biological attack (which I sincerely, sincerely doubt).

It's been a hectic thread so you might have missed some of my posts but I'm not knocking you for being against stealing. I'm against stealing as a general rule...but at the same time, even during a non-riot situation I'm not concerned with someone stealing items from places like wal mart.

Do I personally steal from wal mart? No.

But am I concerned with other people stealing from wal mart? Also no.

Wal Mart is a huge corporation run by insanely rich people who treat their employees like s--- so why would I spend time and energy caring about a $500 loss from a stolen TV that's a drop in the bucket to them? They're gonna make it up instantly with the money they save from working people a half hour under full time so they don't have to give them health insurance or give them any paid days off. Wal-Mart doesn't need any more advocates. They have billions to advocate for them.

And that's part of what it comes down to: I think society agrees with the general concept of "stealing is bad" (basically every religious text has rules against theft, so this goes back centuries and millenniums). So I don't think anyone is truly "pro-theft" as a general rule.

Most of these vandalized chain stores don't need any advocates because we all already agree that stealing is wrong and they're heavily insured anyway. But the black community does need more advocates. I'm not worried about our society turning into one that thinks stealing is OK, but I am worried about what our society is gonna look like if we keep allowing cops to abuse their power and murder people.

I just think there are bigger things at hand right now and finger-wagging at people for stealing online will, like you said, just work to further divide the cause. People on the other side were going to find a way to try to divide us no matter what. If we as a society (myself included) had paid more attention to peaceful protest and taken it more serious (not only that—people in this country straight-up condemned their peaceful protest at football games) then it didn't have to come to this.

I know you can say "well they shouldn't have rioted to divide us in the first place" but at this point what else was there to do? I'm posing that as a genuine question because I do not know. People condemned the peaceful protest and nothing has changed. For black Americans this is literally a life or death situation.
