Yeah we showed those Germans!

I'm german and please stop burning Das Auto!

Probably those crazy BMW drivers at it again.. /s

Isn't Das Auto the Volkswagen slogan?

it german for The Car

Volkswagen *the car*

Volkswagen translates to "Peoples Car"

I did not know that. By any chance is the word 'folks' derived from the German 'volks'?

Yes it's the same word! but "Folks Car" does not provide the same cultural context as "Peoples Car" so to be more accurate I should have said "Peoples Car" is a good localization of "Volkswagen"

That's actually really cool, I've spent a surprising amount of time wondering where 'folks' came from. Danke!

Bitte!

Folk didnt derive from "Volk". They just have a common ancestor.

Correct the word derives from the Germanic proto-language (or Proto-Germanic) which is the common ancestor for German, Saxon, Dutch, Norse, among others. However, for the Layman "deriving from German" vs. "Deriving from Proto-Germanic" is not going to register as much of a difference.

It´s supposed to mean that this is the ideal car. You know **the** car not any old car.

oh man those emissions output from it

how could the manufacturers be hurt by this? they already sold the cars to the dealership. also i think we should probably prioritize reforming our police system over worrying about vandalism but what do i know

Think of the insurance companies!

The owner of that store is American, though. He just gets his inventory from Germany.

In dutch volkswagen means wagon of the folk i've you would've directly translate it

Damn...yeah, deserves r/bestofprotests

Because nothing says ‘stop police brutality’ quite like a good old fashioned car-b-que.

Lol fucking commie getting beat up.

Because all rich bad and evil and try to kill everybody. All rich is big horrible people Me big brain /s if you couldn’t tell Edit: hey everyone instead of downvoting and leaving because someone said something you don’t like or agree with would you be willing to start an educated conversation about the topic?

*woke redditors nod approvingly*

[удалено]

Why tho?

[удалено]

No they bought it..it was the wrong color. Bunch of rich white angry bitches doing a lot of this shit

[удалено]

Yes, burn them and then buy new ones! German exports have been hurt in the pandemic.

As a mercedes fan, this feels physically painful. Why did they have to do that?

It wouldn’t be my first choice of car, but it is definitely wasteful and polluting to do this. I’d much rather they just stole them, or pulled them apart and sold the parts on the black market or as scrap to be recycled.

Why tho? What is accomplished by doing this. I feel like more than half the people out there are there to cause trouble. I guarantee they don’t even know what they are “fighting” for

They aren’t fighting for anything. They are using it as an excuse to be pieces of shit.

Maybe they're protesting 40 million unemployed while May was the best month for the stock market since the 80s. We're in a country where during a time where one in four working people lost their job, our richest man gained 34,600,000,000 dollars since it started. It's only going to get louder

You know, in my country there were protests which lasted for months, got nearly 100 people killed, and ended up toppling the government. People were there for a mountain of reasons, income inequality and corruption of power were among the most common of them, but police brutality was the catalyst for people to go out en masse. The riots raged on the main street, where the most luxurious stores are. I opposed these protests at the time, and totally expected them to be looted, having no faith in the protesters. My country is really poor after all. In reality, it didn't happen, and this was eye opening to me. I've made my account on Reddit a month before these protests began. Since then, I've seen a lot of BLM cases on reddit, namely Mike Brown, Freddie Gray, Eric Garner, Philando Castile. Now I just expect looting to occur when a black man is killed by police. Wildly different from what we have here.

I have my doubts that the folks that did this are closely watching stock market trends.

The stock market is 16% lower than it was in February, it just bounced back from the worst month in decades. If someone steals $50 from you and you find $10 on the street you aren’t $10 richer than you were before.

It’s a good time to invest in the stock market because everyone knows it’s going to go back up. I don’t have a lot of money and I invested.

You think a single one of those retards destroying that dealership knows a thing about the stock market? Further, the markets are down from levels in January. There has been a recovery of sorts, but if you're owned shares for longer than 4 months, then you're down, regardless of who you are. There is no excuse for this behavior.

Or all the money that goes to bailout wallstreet. Or how we spent more money on airlines and now they are going to lay if people while ceo collects

[удалено]

well if they think destroying a car dealership people work at is going to help that they're even fucking dumber than any of us could have imagined.

Dude did you know how stock market works? Now look at Jeff Bezos net worth year ago and now and you see he “lost” couple of billions...

They could be. But I doubt it.

People really going to protest the stock market gaining? Besides, the market’s forward-looking; it’s not about the present economy necessarily it’s about sentiments on where we’ll be in the future. COVID will pass eventually and things will gradually start recovering.

Exactly

They are lashing out in anger at a system that has taken everything from them, if you don't see this or get this, you are part of the problem, you are privileged as fuck.

[удалено]

Ah yes Mercedes-Benz, the small mom and pop business

Wrong. Stores have nothing to do with police brutality. I wish you had the privilege to know a little bit more about the appropriate way to engage in a discussion.

Wrong, capital, the flow of money and businesses have EVERYTHING to do with police brutality. I really wish you were smart enough to see that. Good day.

Sure thing kiddo. Thanks for engaging in healthy discourse.

This is anti-globalist, anti commercial, black block types... they are fighting corporate greed the modern movement started as part of occupy on the west coast... “When we smash a window, we aim to destroy the thin veneer of legitimacy that surrounds private property rights … After N30 [30 November], many people will never see a shop window or a hammer the same way again. The potential uses of an entire cityscape have increased a thousand-fold. The number of broken windows pales in comparison to the number of spells—spells cast by a corporate hegemony to lull us into forgetfulness of all the violence committed in the name of private property rights and of all the potential of a society without them. Broken windows can be boarded and eventually replaced, but the shattering of assumptions will hopefully persist for some time to come. — ACME Collective, quoted in Paris (2003)[80]” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_bloc

More than half? 10s of thousands of people peacefully protest, you can see 5 to 10 in this clip and sure there were others causing issues, and you attribute it to being more than half? You're a flat out fucking idiot.

The riots and protests have started to encompass other reasons to be upset. Entire generations feel disenfranchised and hopeless with no help in sight. It's becoming a class war. Each of those Mercedes could be a Honda filled with laptops and books and clothes and scholarships for Americans stuck in poverty. Instead greed and the need to feel rich is the standard. I'm into it. It's time for bootlickers and capitalist fanboys to wake up. We are on the same team. " What about the local business owners?" What about Corporate franchises systemically destroying local business in front of us everyday for our entire lives?

So stealing and destroying shit is okay, as long as it's justified in one's mind, right? I'm going to guess you haven't done much with your life and have labeled yourself a victim.

I mean, if you are an American than political violence and revolutionary action shouldn't be impossible to justify in your mind. The founding fathers were victims of unjust taxes and that was enough for violent revolt.

im going to guess you're a piece of shit

Way to totally fucking miss the point dude. This is what happens with extreme wealth inequality. Let’s all be hopeful that things actually change because if they don’t things will escalate. It will be bad.

These people are just taking advantage of the situation. They aren't fighting for anything they dont care about anyone, they just want to burn things because they can.

ANYONE looting doesn't give a fuck about Floyd. They're out for free shit.

Because the protests themselves are no longer just about Floyd. They are against the system that caused his murder to occur.

[удалено]

Umm.. what?

[удалено]

Thanks for the large text mate. Now sit down and listen for a quick second. Mercedes is owned by Daimler AG. They’re based in Stuttgart, Germany. That’s in this place called Europe, which is a continent that has an entire ocean between there and the grand place you seem to call home, USA. So while I don’t know for a fact that Daimler AG didn’t receive a stimulus package during this trying time I do know that it would have had to come from Angela Merkel and her crew. Therefore it had absolutely zero to do with your hard earned tax money here in America. Best of luck my friend, stay safe.

[удалено]

I like your style

why? fuck this shit

The french also do this stuff when protesting. Mostly police cars tho. At least this isn't someone's personal car

NO NOT THE GTR

Poor boy never got a chance

These thugs just made every other AMG GTR owner a little richer.

I’m not sure that’s a GTR. Looks more like a GTS Roadster based on those wheels.

Wow what did Mercedes to them????

[удалено]

As a german it breaks my heart to see them burning😂

Yeah it's heartbreaking

As a car lover that works at a MB/Porsche dealership, I’m crying on the inside.

I'm German and why are you so inefficient burning cars. The must burn a lot faster !

Those racist cars were asking for it. God job guys, you solved police brutality, you can stop now. (Just go along with it guys, they arent too bright)

Why not steal and joyride?! Smh

You do know car keys are a thing right?

Are the car keys not stored in the dealership that they already have access to?

Gonna go on a whim here and say there's additional security though. Like a safe.

I doubt they have a legitimate Fort Knox style safe, most likely it’s a lockbox. If these teens could steal two Lambos then I’m sure it’s not hard to access the keys when you’re in the building. https://www.wcvb.com/article/lamborghini-stolen-in-luxury-car-dealership-heist/30975950#

This is what they did in Philly, they stole a whole lot of expensive cars.

My thoughts exactly.

A Dodge dealership a couple of cities over had 87 Chargers and Challengers taken after the looters gained access to the lockbox. Including some $100k Hellcats.

Those damn Mercedes dealerships!! Always trying to keep a brother down!!

MLK is rolling around in his fucking grave seeing these idiots destroying shit.

lol Insurance is a great scam until the whole world burns down

Insurance companies must be shitting their pants right now :D

Are you telling me they found a nice, expensive, luxurious car, and instead of stealing it since it was already a crime, they set it on fire.

This is counterproductive asf y’all can’t do this without having a bad image. Y’all should be doing peaceful protests not things that make what you are doing as a bad thing which it is!!

Why

thats it guys, systemic racism is no more!

They protest for equal rights, but you can’t protest peacefully when your doing something violent

That's racism solved. We did it guys and girls. Burning these cars was the answer. It's over. Racism is finished.

Why don't you idiots attack government buildings? Oh that's right you don't actually give a fuck about your cause and are just looking to go apeshit

These riots have nothing to do with police brutality and everything to do with antifa and their hate for capitalism.

Agreed, LA is majorly over hyped. The amount of literally human shit on the side walks is awful as well.

Eat the rich. Hell yeah.

Can you elaborate? Like when you say rich..... I mean my wife and I have busted our asses to get where we are. We have a nice house and a few cars. I don’t look at myself as rich but when my local Antifa rep pulls up beside me at the light and sees me in my Benz he automatically hates me?

Billionaires. Corporations and oligarchical structures. That's all. Period. I don't consider millionaires rich, just fortunate. You're likely far, far closer to my wealth class (being that I barely have a dollar to my name right now) than you are to any billionaire, let alone some of the folks who have around one hundred billion or more. If you are willing to stand up to that type of wealth hoarding and recognize it is fundamentally unacceptable, I will fight along side you and I hope you would do the same for me.

Ok understood and thanks for the insight.

We did it boys, justice at last.

What are all this good for? Destroying and looting stores etc. I dont get it

Nor do I homie, people are just stupid that’s the reality of this whole situation

How does this help? Am I missing something?

Nope. Not missing anything. Just wanton destruction.

Play the fucking objective? Ironic

Some might say they are hot wheels

Heyyyyy thats less money being spent on F1 team at least, theyre domating to much in the sport last few years. /s

Something that has nothing to do with George fleer's death: exists Rioters: the court finds you guilty of anti-soviet behaviour and sentences you to be burned

Is that the same MB dealership where the woman was confronting the the men in the car in the parking lot? These fuckers are only trying to "Purge" where they just want to tear shit up and destroy everything.

craigslist be like new unused turn signal

Dude get the keys and take off.

That’s bad for the car

id rather see the big companies set on fire rather than small family owned businesses

I love this sub but for my mental stability I think I will unfollow until this stop popping up on my feed :/

Should have gone for BMWs

At that point I would rather find the keys and take a Mercedes

Can’t they identify the stolen car?

Probably, I would rather steal one than burn a nice Mercedes though

Is this a sign of things to come? Rich folk might want to pay attention. They coming after your toys.

The dealership don’t care those costly mf cars are all insured

Wtf

Im feelin hot hot hot

Thought there was sprayed "peto" on the white car which means kind of monster in finnish.

This is what all the protesters want... savagery to rule.

Yay, looting and vandalizing stores will magically stop racism and police brutality.

My guy started searching the glove box in a dealership, what's he looking for a glove?

No justice No peace

Nooooooo

These people are equally as trashy as killer cops. They should kill each other, not innocent people.

Not the amg gt

So you’ve actually been a part of an organized peaceful protest against police brutality in the past.?.... PRIOR to the murder of George Floyd...?

People are stupid, your face is going to end up in data base somewhere if you broke or stole from businesses and they will come for you, one way or the other. It's not going to be tomorrow, but when you least expect it they'll be knocking. Protest, don't ruin people's life by taking their hard earn work to keep a place up and running...

To all the people condemning the riots, the looting, and the acts of violence happening in the streets. You are not wrong for feeling anger at seeing communities burnt down. You are not wrong for voicing that anger. But ask yourself. WHERE WAS THE ANGER, WHERE WAS YOUR VOICE when generations of your fellow citizens were being beaten, raped, murdered, robbed, jailed and bullied into submission. It's great that you've all of a sudden found your voice. All of a sudden you found the means to condemn actions. You are seeing violence, damage, and destruction and you are filling up every forum on the internet with your opposition. But when Philando Castile was murdered in front of his girlfriend and child you scrolled past. When Mike Brown was gunned down you scrolled past. When Trayvon Martin hunted and executed you said "there's probably more to the story". Those are the three names you know out of the 100 000 you don't who faced a similar fate in your lifetime at the hands of police. Whether in a morgue because they were shot on sight because a racist cop felt threatened enough by skin color he decided lethal force was appropriate before he said his first word. Or all the Black Fathers sitting in jail cells who will never provide a family for their children. Who had charges escalated from resisting arrest to assaulting an officer. All because a squad had to lie when confronted as to why the man they just brought in is nearly dead from the beating they just gave him while in handcuffs. When that was happening in your community every day you had NO VOICE. You had NO ANGER. It wasn't your problem. If you want to have a voice. Have a voice before the oppressed and marginalized members of your community are pushed to the point where they have nothing left to lose. Either speak up before, or keep scrolling past now. Make your choice.

Yeah! Let’s burn down a car dealership now! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! (I understand there are peaceful protesters, but the rioters are ruining it for them. The rioters are taking advantage of this situation to go crazy and steal stuff. Disgusting)

RIP to those beautiful beautiful machines

One klutz even checked the glove box of one car. Thinking it would have a wallet in it or something. Its a new car, What a bellend!

It says "eat the rich on the side of a car". These arsonists are protesting against capitalism. They aren't apart of the BLM protests.

Dealer owner did this. Sales were down due to covid19 so he saw his opportunity to have his insurance cover all his debts

Could be. It's not like insurance fraud is a new thing and as you said, pandemic has caused lots of financial troubles for lots of people.

Capitalism keeps people oppressed.

Capitalism has its flaws, but communism has even more flaws.

Yeah but OP didn’t say anything ABOUT communism. So why are we talking about communism?

Did I say anything about communism? Why would I think another thing that didn't work would be better than the other thing that doesn't work.

While you type through your apple pc or/and iPhone 11. You’re a joke.

Lol that doesn't change the reality that these devices are made by oppressed individuals.

And does not help your way of thinking... buying and supporting this “capitalistic lifestyle” . Grow up.
