Me either, but then again I don't see the point of a riot either.

Yeah, because that's the solution. More violence.

Let's see, hoffa jr puts out a call to 'take out their political enemies!"

The NBP incite a riot and call for vigilante justice and Eric Holder is suing states over immigration laws and sending guns to MX while imprisoning border guards.

Obama warns not to bring a knife to a gun fight and tells Hispanics to punish their political enemies.

The news media spins racial tension at every opportuinty to compliment the Dems class warfare strategy.

Some asked why gun sales and permits were up from already unprecedented numbers? No clue.

No riots as there would be no opposition to riot against, just an overwhelming defeat for obama in November.

Let's hope that when it happens some of the MSM are in the middle of it. It would be justice since it is they who fan the flames of this kind of thing.

There is a disconnect today amongst people.

Add in the bad economy and an incident like this with the media stirring the pot, the chances are very good for civil unrest.

There are a lot of people of all races who are angry for many reasons, and this incident could bring it all to a head.

If you think otherwise, then please post your reasons.

Otherwise your post is quite flippant.
My post wasn't merely flippant, but ULTRA-flippant because there isn't gonna be any riots. Sorry to disappoint you.

As for "struggling" being a reason for anger, no worries. Just give the average American an SUV and a big screen TV, and they'll forget all about their struggles. We're a nation of people that are bought off quite easily and cheaply.

Really?

Hmmm....where have black folks had a history of retaliating against whites that have killed blacks unjustifiably? Huh?

The men that killed Emmit Till and Medgar Evers walked around til they were old men. Why weren't they killed?

That's probably because 90% of the businesses in that area of LA were 't Korean or white owned. You should actually read up on the incident of why Koreans were a main target in that riot.

No,not true.
I believe they charge more because unfortunately,the goverment pays anyway.

For example,something is $2 in the suburbs(let's say a bag og apples). Its fresh and clean.
In the ghetto,those apples would be $3,and wouldn't be too fresh. Why? Because a lot pay with food stamps. The working poor who don't get food stamps suffer the most from it.
