Hypocrisy at its finest.  ::)
I'm not really involved in this whole debate, but I can understand why Ted Cruz would approve of Jews breaking open the lock in an act of defiance against Bill DeBlasio's hypocritical, emphatic support of the rioters while absurdly cracking down on children in a park.

Nice spin "emphatic support of the rioters".
No need to look at Ted Cruz to see the hypocrisy!

As I have said previously, my reason for condemning the looters and rioters is not because it is "illegal", but rather because it is demonstrates a complete lack of control over animalistic tendencies. This is not the case when breaking the lock put on by a tyrannical mayor despite it being "illegal."  It is a decision borne of a deep sense of responsibility toward their community and was only implemented after all diplomatic options failed.
All human beings have animalistic tendencies. Part of our human-ness is the ability to control these drives. This includes the drive to fulfill physical pleasures without regard to the effect on others, and the destructive drive when angry. These are things that would be expected of a bull. But humans should be above that. When they grossly fail in that, they can justifiably be referred to as "animals."

The reason looting is wrong is because it is illegal. Now there is different degrees of illegality but cutting the chain/lock was also illegal and should be called out.

Perhaps it is because of a difference in upbringing, but I believe that the reason looting is wrong is because it is immoral, regardless of the law. (meaning even if some wack-job govt made it "legal")

He is also a politician with an agenda. I guess most here have their own agenda and unfortunately hypocrisy is part of it.

Don't take that as meaning it is the one and only reason.

I would tweak it a drop and say it’s wrong because the Torah says so. No other reason

The problem is in this country we are governed by laws not a religion. So for this discussion any religion is completely meaningless.

He didn't say that he feels that the parks should be open. He said "if they can protest then..."

If rioting is legal then how about cutting a simple lock/chain?
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

nobody advocated governing by anything other than the law of the land. when my local cop starts enforcing halacha, meet me in supreme court.
that's the law by which the police govern, not what defines moral right and wrong.
