BlackLivesMatter protests | Updates, News & Discussion

[El Sidd]

I live in Tampa, Florida. I know there's a lot a lot of chaos being shown on TV, but I just wanted to take a minute to show that these riots are affecting real people.

These places are 30 minutes from my house and I visited them on a regular basis. I put before and after pictures of every place. I also threw in a a couple pictures from Orlando since I drive there frequently as well.

AT&T Fowler Avenue, Tampa

Champs Fowler Avenue, Tampa

KFC Fowler Avenue, Tampa

University Mall Fowler Avenue, Tampa

Protestors blocking 408 (Busiest Expressway in Orlando)

Container Store Millenia, Orlando

Krispy Creme Millenia, Orlando

yeah but Pakistanis think you are fascist so we unless we hear from someone else from your neighbourhood, the matter is still under observation.

thank you for advocating peaceful resolution to the problems as a Pakistani.

We should send you as a peace ambassador to the US. You should negotiate with the white police force and everything will be okay.

 

[PakAlp]

Very sad situation indeed but USA police is full of racist people, so a reaction was expected. This has happened many times before.

One is either a Pakistani or an American. You are either loyal to Pakistan or to America.

salary-slaves who never have anything to do with politics, come from a foreign land, live like an apolitical mouse and then make a little slut drama - a photo of a broken shop having no clue what it takes to make political change.

Newsflash. Social and political change doesn't just come about by driving home from work, eating biryani and wasting time on social media. It comes from a different breed of men. Those that have values and fight for them. Bad things happen when you fight, but nothing a confused ABCD type will understand.

You cannot send me against my will to anywhere and wherever i go i would still preach peace as a Pakistani.

You can join the 5G mob in Holland as a Dutch anytime you like buddy. Jai Ho

you should get an East Pakistani flag first don't you think?

 

[PakAlp]

I don't get it... Why are they attacking private property?...

When emotional people get together to protest then anything could happen. Majority people are peaceful though

There used to be a store called Apna Bazar literally right next to AT&T. It was the most popular store in Tampa for Pakistanis/Indians to do grocery. Luckily it moved across the street a few months ago, otherwise it would almost certainly have been burned and looted like the rest of the plaza today.

You let your mouth loose and generalize by making sweeping statements regarding Pakistanis. The least you owe everyone is to put your money where your mouth is.

The 5G mob also exists in Hiterland where you live. You keep changing your flags like you change your profile pic. Any specific reason?

 

[Valar.]

Very sad and very bad

It still would have been an American loss.

No need to divide the losses between different migrant groups of America.

 

[Kabira]

Its not your city. You should sympathise with blacks as tomorrow your neck can be under racist American police.

There is no need to glorify violence from any side in this.

Now hop along and find some other thread Tall one.

TBH I am just chilling outside in the yard whilst reading about the riots I guarantee this will just blow over.Every 3 or 4 years just like in 1992, 2014,2015 and 2016 unfortunately there is altercation between Blacks and white policemen usually tho in recent years there have been altercations between blacks and non white police officers too anyways I think us as a Pakistani community should just be neutral like other Asians tbh,cause the white and black conflict is something that goes to the root of problems this country has been facing since its inception and as American power declines expect more stagnation and rioting every few years

They already come after them. Pakistanis, Muslims, black African Americans etc.
