Instead you continued to epitomize what I described - someone choosing to continue to focus on luxury stores as what makes the difference to you. If you had written that, you'd be a lot more honest, and accurate, and it gets to the heart of the matter.Īlso note that you didn't actually respond to anything I wrote. "The destruction of businesses only distracts me from the real issues."

Let's rephrase this to avoid the wishy washy language you're using about who exactly is distracted: You're responsible for your own reaction and feelings on the matter. Only because you choose to be distracted and push back. The destruction of businesses only serves to distract from the real issues. And how much press the average police shooting gets before a critical mass finally says it's enough. Compare that to how much press graffiti or vandalism would get in a less fortunate neighborhood this weekend, or worse, on any other night in NYC. No one deserves ANY of this, but part of the problem is all the attention is going to Leica, Chanel, because it gets the most clicks and views. It's just tiring seeing the most sympathies go out to those suffering insured losses of property selling Hermes or Rolex and not the losses of health or life. In the photography forums I follow I haven't seen interviews with photographers and journalists who got hit with beanbags or tasers or tear gas. No interviews with the woman who took a rubber bullet to the head on video. I've seen no shortage of articles with quotes from Kurland and I don't even live in NYC, I just halfheartedly follow photography news online.

LEICA SOHO WINDOWS
In my city there's no shortage of interviews with a jewelry store owner whose windows got smashed.

But it's just a tiring cycle of press and peoples' sympathies going out to the fanciest store owners instead of the victims of violence. From an economic perspective, it is literally a corporate store he owns. He's certainly in a much more corporate and wealthy position than your average bodega owner.
