A former ESPN reporter is getting absolutely dragged on Twitter over this tweet he deleted:
Right, who cares about other people’s property and their businesses and their livelihoods. Except.. when it comes to YOUR neighborhood:
They just attacked our sister community down the street. It’s a gated community and they tried to climb the gates. They had to beat them back. Then destroyed a Starbucks and are now in front of my building. Get these animals TF out of my neighborhood. Go back to where you live.

Ahhh. NOW they’re animals. Imagine if Trump had said this about the protesters. They’d be screaming raaaaacist!!
Welp. They're gone. Security called the cops and they swarmed. Some scattered, others were arrested. (You hate to see it.) Tense moments. There's graffiti everywhere. We live in a beautiful, safe community and have pride. These people had no pride and weren't protesters.

Make no mistake about it those who were looting were not protestors. They were criminals who just blended in. Hell bent on stealing and property destruction. When the legit protestors left midday everything went off the rails.

Yeah. Embarrassing.
