I’m sorry if what I’m about to say will hurt people, from the bottom of my heart, I am sorry.
First of all, I love that people are protesting for BLM. Racism is, horrifyingly, a real thing that exists and has exists for so long. NOBODY should EVER be judged on the color of their skin, their beliefs, their race, etc...
Protests and freedom of speech are such a beautiful thing that (many people) have the right to. However, I am so horrified by the riots going on in the world. So many innocent people are losing their jobs and homes to the destruction and looting.
Many people, and although I 100% disagree I still respect their opinion, believe that “buildings can be rebuilt but people cannot” and that destroying homes will help with this movement. Many people don’t understand that these buildings ARE their life and the only way they can support their family.
For the past week I have been praying for these poor innocent people that are having their homes and sources of payment caught on fire and burned to ashes.
I’ve seen so many tweets saying that the riots are moving to Carlsbad and San Diego where I, my friends, and my family live. My family has always lived in affordable homing and I KNOW FOR A FACT that many of my neighbors could be homeless if our homes are destroyed.
PLEASE stay safe and think twice about your actions. LIVES ARE AT RISK.
