    Yet he was called a communist and his own government allowed him to be assassinated under their surveillance

    Who pretends their cause is just?

    You missed the relevance the quote has to this situation, you missed it ENTIRELY it flew right over your head. The riot isn't ABOUT that, you think it is because you think far too simply.

    No, you were completely ignorant to use this incident to trot out MLK's quotes. Just dumb

    Anyone who responds to this with talk about some vague notion of historical police mistreatment of black people or MLK quotes for starters.

    All they are is violent morons and that's all we should say about them.

    It's not that historical, that's part of the problem.

    You realize this is what MLK says about riots right?

    It seems neither of you understand the quote, so here's a hint. Riots are not to just be dismissed as "Violent morons." there is a reason why people are angry enough to want to destroy things and set things on fire. It doesn't happen out of nowhere.

    .....so now you are trying to say their cause is just? Honestly, people like you are a HUGE part of the problem. You encourage this kind of stupid behavior by suggesting that they have a just cause when they clearly don't.

    ;) well of course he would never use a fossil fuel to make a fire bigger. He has to think of climate change. Perhaps he throws bio fuel on the fires or maybe some of the Solyndra solar panels??? :confused:

    In all seriousness, it is a crying shame how he reacts to these type of things and I can't think of even a single time he has been right with his comments. He just tosses out lie after lie to fuel the race war he has helped to create.

    What exactly are you trying to say is a strawman? That you aren't trying to justify their actions? You are with nearly every post. In fact, in this very post you've tried to justify their actions and blame everything on some abstract "problems" in the community that made it a "powder keg".

    Sorry, but you're clueless. You're trying to give legitimacy to these riots which were caused by a violent thug who took police on a chase and then wouldn't put down his gun.

    So yes, the rioters are violent morons.

    I was responding to his comment about politicizing the riot, dumbass. According to you, a black guy who goes to college isn't really black. Your ****ed up, self-serving views have no place in any meaningful discussion about race, bigot.

    These problems aren't abstract or vague to these people. I know you feel that you've said it so that it is now the absolute truth, but that's not how it works.

    Your strawman is this. "You are trying to justify their actions." no, I'm EXPLAINING their actions.

    Lol, keep thinking that's the cause.

    For the most part, no, or rather, I haven't seen any evidence of it. So far of all the cases that have led to riots and protests there is only potentially one of them that are legitimate examples of police wrongdoing.

    Of course, given that at every turn the president gives credibility to these kinds of things, I could see how some people would get that idea.

    For the most part though, people are worked up over lies and propaganda.

    Do you scour twitter looking for every random quote from every random Trump supporter?

    Oh I know, they are true believers of the propaganda. What I'm saying is that they aren't legitimate. If the propaganda were true then their actions would be justified. It seems you want to support them but you don't have the courage to fully do so. Be brave if you believe the propaganda.
