I've believed in the validity of riots since college. I though the people of Ferguson were well within their rights to riot.
This shows how clueless you are. It's already been proven that paid outside agitators were brought in to riot.Some actual Ferguson residents might have joined in, but it was mostly outside people.
Think!
Ferguson is mostly black yet there were hundreds of white faces(some may have covered their faces but they were white). There was even footage a fat white guy starting a fire in a small grocery store, he runs out, a black woman who was a Ferguson resident is seen using anything she can including some milk to put out the fire, and she did.
Sometimes, it's the ONLY effective form of protest. A riot was the catalyst needed to spark the American Revolution. The Haymarket Riot is partially responsible for bringing us the 8 hpur work day. The Stonewall Rito ws the cornerstone of the gay rights movement. More recently, the 1992 LA Riots were instrumental in reforming the corrupt and abusive LAPD. I prefer that protests be peaceful, but sometimes destructive protest is necessary to affect change.
The scars of the 60s riots lie at the core of why the participating cities are still mainly, poverty stricken, barren, w/o investment cities, who reaped long-term what they sewed.
I'm still waiting for someone to explain why it's OK to shut down someone else's freedom of speech!
The Berkeley Republican students invited Milo Yiannopoulos and wanted to hear him speak, they were shut down.
Many times during Trump rallies, protesters attempted to physically BLOCK people from hearing Trump speak. They attempted this at the inauguration as well.
I'd LOVE to hear the justification for actively preventing others from exercising their first amendment rights just because you don't agree with the message or their politics!
Rioting happens because low-class and/or drunken people are looking for an excuse to act like wild animals, destroy other people's property, and harm passers-by.
Rioting is NEVER done with the intent of causing change in society; that is merely the Liberal spin that tries to excuse behavior that any reasonable society would find reprehensible.
Gladhand please answer this question. It's OK to destroy property so it must be Ok to attack people also?
I have already explicitly stated that I don't condone attacking innocent civilians. Are there innocent casualties of riots? Sometimes. The same can be said of war. I don't condone either.

I'm also sure the college kids that do it just think it's a big party and a free for all! you see them in these videos "WOOT, WOOT!!" Running around like their team just won the superbowl.
"Look at me!! I can smash some windows of jump on someone's car and destroy it!"

Innocent Civilians? Are there people at Protests that are not Innocent Civilians?
If someone is speaking and you disagree with their speech, you would attack them and beat them?

or why would you block ambulances! That has to be the ultimate example of innocent people getting caught up in the rioter's temper tantrum. They don't even have the decency to CARE either, their riot is more important! They have to be physically removed.
