Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I'm not American either, but can confirm you are out of place here.
This is not horrible - this is people fighting back: the most beautiful thing ever.
Fighting back by hurting inmocents? That's not right.
The owners of the cars that were burnt. AFAIK the cars burned were there for repairs.
No but pretty sure it will cost them time, money and opportunity.
I don't know how old you are and what experiences you've had but time, money and opportunity costs are serious.
Maybe it's just where I am right now but being a family provider and seeing those burning cars for the cause of a first-worlder's idea of rebellion is just painful to watch.
I drive a basic vehicle but I try to take care of it as much as I can because a I and my family use it everyday and rely on it heavily for our daily living.
It bothers me that I cannot get it serviced at the correct intervals, have the deep scratches repaired before they start to rust, replace the tires that are already 4 years old and attend to all the little details that would extend the life of the car and make it look a bit more presentable.
And here I see expensive cars, cars I could not even dream of buying, being purposely burnt just to "send a message" to the CEO of the car's manufacturer.
It is such a silly waste, such a decadent display.
