So the exact same mentality that lead to the riots? When a member of your community is killed by the police wouldn't your first thought be "that could be me?" Same with when you hear about your neighbor starving, another frequent historical cause of rioting.
The difference is the available optiobs. People that don't riot as a response have some expectation that the establishment will help them.
- vorpalhex 5y agoIt's not the thought, it's the action. "I feel a miscarriage of justice has happened" does not mean torching buildings. You may not feel that you have options. Burning your neighbors house down is still wrong.
