Officials in Charlotte Threaten Rioters And Looters With Loss of Welfare And Food Stamps

2016-09-25

[GP] As unrest continues in Charlotte, North Carolina, officials have issued a warning to people who loot businesses or destroy public property. Keep it up and you could lose any public benefits you receive.

The Baltimore Gazette reported: CHARLOTTE OFFICIALS TO RIOTERS ‐ ANYONE CAUGHT LOOTING WILL HAVE WELFARE AND FOOD STAMPS REVOKED FOR LIFE

According to multiple reports, city officials have announced new measures in an effort to curb the violence sweeping Charlotte since the shooting of Keith Lamont Scott. Any individuals caught rioting, looting, destroying property or otherwise reacting in a violent and unlawful manner will have their government benefits permanently revoked.

According to the local affiliate WBTC, the punishment also applies to minors who might be participating in the ongoing melee. Parents of underage individuals who are captured while engaging in criminal activities related to the rioting will be held fully accountable, and could risk losing state benefits, as well as the custody of their child.

"Parents are responsible for their children. If they are allowing them to engage in lawless behaviors there will be consequences for them as parents." Charlotte City Official, Wilson Stewart, told reporters during the 30 minute press conference.

Isn’t this exactly as it should be? The business owner who has his store wrecked and looted is paying taxes which provide public benefits. Shouldn’t he or she have some recourse?

#9 Food Stamps and cash aid to families with dependent children are Federal programs. This will not happen. Period.

Threatening otherwise is ignorant bullsh!t and of no help to anyone.

#7 Something about crossing state lines to instigate insurrection used to be a prosecuted crime.

Laws are for the ~~little people~~ taxpayers. Keep working, proles.

#6 70% of those detained in Charlotte are from out of state.

Something about crossing state lines to instigate insurrection used to be a prosecuted crime. However, it appears one group is above the law, but probably not a WH invitation.

#5 A slack hand, conflict, and poverty are tools of the oppressor. I suspect it has always been this way.

#4 70% of those detained in Charlotte are from out of state. Unless the Feds restrict it the rioters will just step across the line for their benefits.

#3 Laid bare for all to see.

Urban white leftists use tax money taken from suburban/rural people who live far away from the urban underclass to bribe said urban underclass (who live four blocks away from the urban leftists) to leave them alone.

They'll NEVER let the EBT cards fail. Because that would entail the urban underclass going forthwith to their tony, chic, perpetual adolescent urban playgrounds in a wave of rape, murder, and plunder.

#2 Any individuals caught rioting, looting, destroying property or otherwise reacting in a violent and unlawful manner will have their government benefits permanently revoked.

The theory being that, without government benefits, they'll have to work - and, if they work, they'll not have any time or energy to riot?

Now clearly highlighted; the connection between desired urban plantation behavior and government rations and perks.

Pacification is your friend. Do not burn down the hand that feeds you. This is one of your last warnings.
