But who do we fight?
I ask because all I see in Baltimore is opportunists destroying and stealing property, not an organized group of peoples fighting a corrupt system. I absolutely agree that we must find ways to fight back against the growing corruption but you don't lure others to a cause by ruining their lives. And there is no cause if destroying your neighborhood and hurting your neighbors is the entirety of your focus.
This is not a revolution.

I read earlier that the people in the Ferguson, Missouri rioted areas are complaining that they have to go so far now to get basic staples, because the stores won't reopen in that neighborhood again.
Besides, how will rioting teach the police a lesson? I can't believe my people can be so dumb. It's freakin embarrassing!
You pay for what you do in life.

As long as the government doesn't declare these human stupidity zones as disaster areas. I don't want my taxpayer dollars going towards any re-building.

Is it cheaper to rebuild or destroy?

That is what my husband said, tomorrow, so for now the rioters can do whatever they one the entire night.
Now good leadership.

As always the truth is for the victor to write.
Until the philosophy which hold one race superior
And another
Inferior
Is finally
And permanently
Discredited
And abandoned -
Everywhere is war -
Me say war.
That until there no longer
First class and second class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes -
Me say war.
That until the basic human rights
Are equally guaranteed to all,
Without regard to race -
Dis a war.
That until that day
The dream of lasting peace,
World citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued,
But never attained -
Now everywhere is war - war.

In strictly financial terms, it's cheaper to destroy, and more costly to rebuild. Whatever happens, these riots will be yesterday's news everyplace on the planet, except Baltimore, by this time next week.
