A black store owner is on video decrying the looting that was done to her store, suggesting that if black lives really mattered her store wouldn’t have been looted and destroyed:
So weird that this video that contradicts the leftist BLM narrative was removed from Twitter. Good thing I downloaded it first! pic.twitter.com/Eojv8rpyFf

You really should watch the video but if you can’t, here’s what she said:
The problem that bothers me is you say black lives matter. I’ve worked here part time, plus I’m a part owner of this store. You said black lives matter. Why don’t you choke me, I’m black. Look what you did to my store. Look! Look what you did to my store!
Look at the things you’ve done. Look! We’ve been here all night cleaning up, all night cleaning. Now tell me black lives matter. You lie. You wanted to loot a store. You needed money. Get a job! Like I do. Stop stealing. This is the neighborhood. We’re trying to build it up and you’re tearing it down.
That was an amazing rebuke of the looting and rioting, and this is what we should be hearing out of our political leaders and the news media. But many of them would rather foment more violence by justifying the rioting and looting in the aftermath of Floyd’s death.
