    It's certainly a part of the "narrative", but the most important question is why these scumbag towns of criminals exist.

    Okay, so in your mind, why is it that certain cities have more of a criminal culture than others?

    So if it does end up being a situation where the kid ended up hurting himself by flailing around in anger in the back of the paddy wagon and there really wasn't any police wrongdoing.....what then?

    I mean, I'm not saying that's what happened, because I don't know, but that would make yet another group of rioters look even more ignorant and ridiculous than they otherwise would look simply due to their actions wouldn't it?

    As has been mentioned several times, the people rioting are angry about more than one incident. They are angry about a systematic pattern of racist police and judiciary practices and the economic destitution mentioned by the COO of the Orioles which was posted twice and ignored by the likes of you twice.

    Ah, so this incident is just an excuse to riot then? So it doesn't matter if any wrongdoing actually took place?

    Fair.

    No. It is an incident that ignites popular expression of long held frustration and anger.

    Yeah, exactly what I said, a possible incident that is used as an excuse to riot about a perceived injustice.....meaning it has nothing at all to do with justice for anyone.

    Hmm, not sure who to believe. Known blowhards Charles Barkley and Bill Maher or the POTUS.

    It has to do with justice for everyone.

    Then why has this thread, the media and every other corner of the social networking world treating it as a strictly innocent blacks vs. racist whites issue?

    I don't think this thread has done that. As for the rest, maybe you are just watching bad media and hanging out in unsavory social networking places.

    Or maybe you have a persecution complex and your perception is delusional.

    This coming from the person calling for more violent riots and looting because of a perception that "the man" is out to get people.....

    Please quote one instance of me saying "the man is out to get people". I want a revolution in this country, and people rioting and looting are parts and precursors to almost all revolutions (including the American Revolution). And my reasoning for wanting a revolution is never vague perceptions, but rather facts and fact supported analysis.

    LOL, fair enough, that's a great deal more ridiculous than merely claiming the man is out to get you. I sometimes get my whack job posters confused, it's Remii that thinks the man is out to get him, you're the one plotting to overthrow the government because......of whatever reason.

    This describes you, Remii and the rest of the fanatics perfectly.
