That is when a man on the street noticed her message and started filming.

#looting #georgefloyd #nyc
Now this is a powerful woman. Love and respect.
Amen to her. All citizens will eventually start to do that once we have had enough
I wish I could give her a hug. Brilliant speech
Shes too mad fo hugs lol but RESPECT this woman is what ive been scrolling the news for days for
This needs to go viral, her words are truly powerful and I respect the hell out of this woman.
It will, she is a queen.
Its already trending!!
Anyone caught looting needs to be banned from social support programs
@Georgia Somenzari why would race be relevant? He said “anyone caught looting” white people would get it too and I hope everyone caught looting does.
@Aaron Storey what does y’all own??! The racist owners. Sucking blood 😂😡😡😡😡😡 with the community
needs to be banned from life
Facts i agree
tikletik and death
Protesting is perfectly fine. LOOTING AND RIOTING ARE DESPICABLE.
The problem is no one is protesting. All they are doing is rioting, burning and looting. Yet, the MSM keeps referring to them as protesters. Wake the hell up.
Jam Wes Lay you’re still believing this virus hoax? There is no virus. It’s just the flu, and they changed the name this year to scare people into hiding in their homes. WAKE UP. This is ALL ABOUT CONTROL. IT WAS PLANNED YEARS AGO, including the rioting. Next is food shortage.
Elizabeth Proverbs 28:9 you’re such an idiot lol
AGREED
Alex Tha Gr8 what an excellent argument you make!! You show all the research you’ve done 😉
Get this to #1 on trending people, this NEEDS to be heard by everyone!
Depends if the corporate overlords at YouTube deem it politically correct
She speaks the truth, I stand with her.
I know she’s trying to help out with the right situation but I don’t think you Americans get it you don’t own any of that that she speaks of.
yes
Where is she speaking?
👏👏👏👏
x TROLLING x Uuuh,if you listen to her…she kinda saying that lol
1 person looting destroys the work of a million people fighting for change
Queen Bish more like 1,000s, fixed it for you.
She has an awesome point and I agree 100% It’s OK to Protest but violence, breaking into buildings take what you want, setting cars on fire is Not Acceptable.
Good on her, she has my respect
This should be an eye opener for the looters 🙏🙏
You must first have eyes to see before they can be opened. Most of the looters have willingly gouged out their own eyes and cut off their own ears.
many looters are high and lowlife idiots with no parents.
It should be an eye opener to those thinking that everyone protesting is a looter.
“You don’t see corporations here.” She is right.
Jan Jansen none of these ‘protestors’ are decent. Zero.
@Jan Jansen whats wrong with capitalism?
@Thomas Hägg “She seems pretty racist. Anti-capitalist”. ?? How did you get that out of her speech?
Ashton Coventry I live in the Netherlands and we have capitalism but it’s called social democracy (not to be mistaken with communism). We have social welfare and healthcare for all. US capitalism is the worst. You let poor people die because they have no healthcare. Shame on you shame shame shame if you are capable of shame
@Luke Sutton That corporation has money to rebuild…. the private will dissolve away and be replaced by more corporate business. Do you suppose that is the goal? Then who will be in control of our lives?
The looting needs to stop especially in small businesses.
Facts i agree 😥😥😥 i swear they taking this way to far like tbh its has nothing to do with gorge Floyd
What a minute I thought liberals were for small businesses and complain they can’t compete with bigger businesses. Looks like they care about more about themselves than others, they just put the small businesses out of business.
@Q Bearded no more death
Yeah I agree.. I feel bad for the businesses that we’re starting to get picked up and then this happens 🤦🏻♀️
Idk why people are okay with big business getting looted. Essential workers who live paycheck to paycheck work at places like target and Walmart. My mother already lost one job to covid and now she’s missed at least 4 shifts at Walmart this week due to protests.
“Violence is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding: it seeks to annihilate rather than convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends up defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers.” ~ Martin Luther King
But we only got what levels of freedom we had because our ancestors used force and the threat of force to gain our liberty from the lords of the feudal lands who kept everyone in bondage to them, basically slavery, all throughout Europe before America was colonised.
You are right but too deep, they would not understand that.
She’s channeling the spirit of MLK
Nope more Like Harriet Tubman
The looters are only taking advantage of his death not protesting it.
@Rad Chad Stand up for your beliefs. Go out tonight and tell them that, man up
@AterykBS
Looters: People are racist. What should we do?
Also Looters: Let’s show ourselves stealing indescrimitately.
Go to the Gateway Pundit and read about a young white girl with autism being racially attacked.
@Rad Chad so what’s your disease?
Registered to vote and register to clean up all the neighborhoods
No they should get those who was looting and rioting to clean up the neighborhoods they destroyed!!!
13 year old white girl in Kentucky beaten in racial attack. See the story on Gateway Pundit.
When insanity takes over, truth and strength from one individual can make the difference. Thank you young lady warrior!
Now that is what leadership looks like and sounds like. God bless this lady.
@MetalHeart8787 It likely wasn’t safe for her to say these things when there were several looters there. Regardless, her message is still important, and she is correct that more people need to be politically active and vote leaders in that will help support communities.
Shes just another crazy person on the street thats all.
rda she found that good stank crack still.
I don’t think so
