Looting leads to shooting, and thats why a man was shot and killed in Minneapolis on Wednesday night - or look at what just happened in Louisville with 7 people shot. I dont want this to happen, and thats what the expression put out last night means....

....It was spoken as a fact, not as a statement. Its very simple, nobody should have any problem with this other than the haters, and those looking to cause trouble on social media. Honor the memory of George Floyd!

THERE WAS NO LOOTING IN LOUISVILLE. There were people shot at a rally, but he's trying to walk back his comment by using false equivalences, that I'm sure a lot of MORONS will buy into.
