I don't support riots, but I understand. Often times with riots after police brutality (King, Brown, Floyd, et. all); the riots happen not just because of the act, but socio-economic issues in general. King happened during the 1992 recession. Brown happened during the height of the minimum wage protests. Floyd happened during the COVID unemployment and rent strife. Often this event is the match that causes a ready stick of dynamite to blow. People overlook the socio-economic issues.

a/k/a Socio-economic excuse.

It is not overlooked, but called out for the excuse it truly is.

Thieves with low moral character steal. Honest people do not steal.

People riot because, for them, it's fun. Encourage them, tell them they're on the side of all that's right and good, and they'll be happy to riot every night from now until next winter.

The excuses are priceless. They’re simply low life opportunistic criminals. During protests they just do it out in the open.

I can picture this admin giving them a stipend to survive on, in between riots.

Their new UC question: "Were you unable to gain employment this week or did you participate in a riot this week?"
