Yes and all those American tories migrated to Canada clearly did it because they wanted more snow and not because of political violence.

That is not random.
Of course not. I don't think excessive force by police is ever justified. I don't think many of you fully understand exactly what's happened in Baltimore.
How many times do you think you can ask the same question again and again before you just give up and accept that everyone doesn't agree with you?
How do you imagine rebellions really begin? What do you imagine that they're like?
"Excessive force" is such a...measured bit of terminology to use in labeling the repetitive, extensive police violence directed against minorities in every region of America. Totally not random.
Oh, do enlighten us.
I was just seeking clarification of your comment. You are more than welcome to disagree.
I'm interested as well...
If you truly feel that way, I would love to send this shit up to your area of Jersey.

Seriously?! (trying unsuccessfully not to roll my eyes) I'd love to hear you "fully" explain what's happening. I'm also curious whether you happen to live in Baltimore.
Hmm...where do you live?
This is far from the worst mob violence in this area during my time. That would have been the riots downtown after Dr. King's assassination.
Ben's Chili Bowl was the only restaurant that stayed open. That riot wasn't justified either. It accomplished nothing.
And you STILL don't get it. Burning the CVS isn't hurting the police. Robbing a reporter ISN'T hurting the police. Setting a senior center on fire ISN'T hurting the police. They are doing nothing but hurting the people in their own community. And guess what? After injuring 15 officers the police are not going to run in and stop them. They're just going to stand back and watch.
That's what is truly baffling about people saying they can empathize with the rioters. How can you empathize with someone who burns down a recreational center for senior citizens or loots a liquor store? Once again, that is doing NOTHING to the police. What it is doing is destroying businesses.
Yes, it was justified.
No, it accomplished nothing.
Do you understand that those are two different things?
The Baltimore protests are justified as well.
Ambushing and severely injuring Firefighters simply because they are trying to put out a fire started by rioters is not justified. I find it shocking that you believe violent protests are justified.
Yes. Do you understand that they were two different sentences?
That is not accurate. It is just the only talking point you seem to be coming up with.
I am welcome to have an opinion of what is acceptable or not acceptable.

Simple.
The ends justify the means. Morality isw not in any real question here, only the results.
That is how this American society works, in all facets of it.
Otherwise, if real morality was a real part of the American culture, then a lot of the crap we see would actually go away.
The only thing America cares about is sex, money, power, and authority.
Always follow the money and you will see what is really behind things like this.

Sounds like you've admitted that there are circumstances under which you believe such rioting would be justified. Either that, or you freely admit that you'd engage in behavior that you believe isn't justified. Either way, I'm left wondering what the point of the thread is.
