NBA Writer Getting Blasted for His Contradictory Opinions on Riots and Looting

Twitter is as sensitive as ever amid the countrywide protests that have resulted from George Floyd's wrongful death. As we've seen via video either on social media or news channels, the rallies in several cities have morphed into uncontrollable riots. Numerous businesses and corporations are being looted and, in some cases, destroyed.

Well, NBA writer Chris Palmer recently offered an alarmingly contradictory take on these concerning circumstances, and he was promptly slammed by the masses.

The former ESPN reporter initially endorsed the violence, but had a glaring change of heart once protestors showed up closer to his residence. His vocabulary is disturbing, to say the least.

So, rioting is great, until it happens to you, we guess?

This sort of hypocrisy just isn't going to flow under the radar on Twitter these days, and Palmer was justifiably ripped apart in the reply section.

That's certainly an accurate interpretation of Palmer's contradicting posts.

As awful as it sounds, that's precisely what Palmer's tweets suggest.

Just because you "can" do something doesn't make it right.

After realizing the uproar he spawned, the former Bleacher Report columnist apologized by inferring he let his "stress" and "panic" impede his analysis of the situation.

Credit to Palmer for acknowledging that he was in the wrong, but he, a former NBA writer that is undoubtedly familiar with having a larger-than-normal platform, should have known better here.
