More looting, while using the tactics expressed in the linked article: overwhelm the police by taking small, distributed actions where they can't effectively counter them. In other words, more looting and more defending each other against the state, both directly and by being strategic.
violence, robbing and looting doesn’t solve much
Completely wrong.
What I am trying to say is I think it’s better to build, create, progress, rather then destroy someone’s neighborhood or place of work.
It's better to do both. Always. "Someone's neighborhood or place of work," is a liberal, garbage way of framing this. These were attacks on capital and state. Period. The workers don't own those places of work, or have any real say at all about what happens there; they aren't theirs. They don't own the neighborhoods, or have any real say at all about what happens there; they aren't theirs. The idea that attacking state and capital hurts the people they are oppressing is an extremely privileged idea. It needs to be checked wherever it appears. Hard.
I think on a bigger scale, vandalism can be very damaging to vulnerable communities, it also creates a counterproductive distraction from real message and effort at political / social change.
There's civil disobedience, protesting and then there's violence, burglary, theft, vandalism; being a fucking idiot another words.
Are you saying breaking into a store and looting it doesn't hurt anyone? because I think It hurts the employees, it hurts the perpetrators themselves and causes chaos and terror within a community.
I'm just not going to engage with outright fucking liberals here. Nothing good will come of it. But you don't belong on this instance, TBH, and especially in this community. And that's the last I'm going to say about it here.
