Cassper expressed his understanding of those who looted as a means of survival, however, he also made it clear that he does not condone it.

“Passing judgement from our comfortable homes about how people who are angry & less fortunate should behave, is utterly ridiculous, some families’ realities is far more difficult than ours so I can’t judge anyone. I am totally against looting, however I’m equally torn by our peoples lack & suffering.”

Cassper called on community leaders and politicians to get on the ground and connect with the people. Using the same tactics, they use to gain votes, needs to be done to stop this mayhem and come to some resolution.

“…our community leaders & executives pls connect with the people same way you do during elections!!!”

Cassper posted:

Even though Cass tried his best to tread lightly, his post still evoked some strong emotions. This is a sensitive topic and the people are tired.
