In all cases.

But is the preface to your excuse.

Those who do not support riots, do not require a 2nd part to their statements.
yep, well said.

The riots were the protests.

Turn off the news, then. Problem solved. Seriously.

People rush to violence on cars, stores, etc. They continue to burn the cities they need to live. They look for an excuse to commit violence. Why can't their protests be peaceful, maybe people would listen to them.

Well, CNN buried this violent looting far down in its coverage (which was itself buried on the web page):

"While one group stayed at the police department, a second group was seen at the Shingle Creek Mall, where around 20 businesses were broken into, Harrington said."

Note the passive voice.

And this was while the other half of the the violent mob attacked the police at the police department.

Nothing to see here...nothing at all...just move on.

But geez...msn knows that's a phony story. And they made it big headlines.
