YouTuber Jake Paul addressed backlash he received after some alleged he was looting and destroying property during protests in Scottsdale, Arizona. 'Neither I nor anyone in our group was engaged in any looting or vandalism...'
"Living in AZ I can tell you that the actual protest was in downtown Phoenix," another wrote."No matter what he says... this was an opportunity to green light destruction of property and vandalism in the name of something he wasn't representing. He should be ashamed and reprimanded.""To be absolutely clear, neither I nor anyone in our group was engaged in any looting or vandalism," Paul wrote.
He continued:"I do not condone violence, looting or breaking the law; however, I understand the anger and frustration that led to the destruction that we witnessed and while it's not the answer, it's important that people see it and collectively figure out how to move forward in a healthy way. We are all doing the best we can to be helpful and raise awareness; this is not the time to attack each other, it's time to join together and evolve.
While some fans have come to Paul's defense, others quickly stepped in and double-down on calling out his behavior.."He's a MILLIONAIRE. This movement...these riots...and protests aren't some STUNT for attention. Lives are at stake. White ppl like u are a part of the system that killed George Floyd."
