Really urge people to follow the guidelines and comment on the actual thing posted, or not at all. We do not need to rehash every one's armchair moral theory whenever things like this come up. Your fear, or disgust, does not contribute to a possible fruitful discussion of these matters, and it is not the point of analyses like this. Riots are embedded into the history of social order, whether you like it or not. They are symptoms, they do not care about your principles or your personal moral fortitude. You can see them happen and be shocked or whatever, but it doesn't stop the fact that they happen, and at the end of the day it's just simply irrational to believe that this a moral issue first and foremost! I think many of you need to take more literally MLK's point that they are "the language of the unheard."
