The Twitter user above is pretty upset about the looting going on in Ferguson, Mo. Not so much because looting black neighborhoods is wrong, but because it’s “counter-productive.” If looters have to do their thing, they should seek out white neighborhoods to pillage.

He’s not alone in these views:

If you gon @ least loot, go to the white people neighborhood—

Words from mentor. If you’re going to riot and loot, at least take it to the rich white folk neighborhood.
