If you... don't really understand WHY or WHAT rioters gain from looting and burning.
There is an estonian song that is quite aptly named the song of the rebels and it... describes the motivations behind it quite well!
I'll do my best to translate the relevant parts.
Ükskord prahvatab vimm,
mis kogunend salaja.
At one point the resentment will explode
that has gathered secretly
Mõisad põlevad, saksad surevad,
mets ja maa saavad meitele
Mansions are burning, the overlords are dying
the forest and the land becomes ours
Metsad põlevad, maad surevad,
meie saame meitele
Forests are burning, lands are dying
We become ours
Meie põleme, meie sureme,
siis ei jää enam ühtegi orja,
ühtegi orja, ühtegi orja,
ei ühtegi, ühtegi peremeest!
We are burning, we are dying
then there will be not one slave left
Not one slave, not one slave
Not one, not one owner
The point of a riot is not to... debate or to give off a sensible well argumented message.
A riot is the explosion of anger that has been gathering for a LONG time. The anger is to the point, you don't care any more. It is do or die. You cannot just sit still and let things be.
A riot is grief, anger, pain all mixed together. Those people would rather die than live any longer the way things are.
I dunno... I'm nowhere near fully educated on the way things are in america.
I've also never been an SJW fighting for racism to be eradicated.
but I will always respect people fighting for what they deserve. At one point peaceful words just aren't enough and stop working and I think that point has come a LONG time ago in America.
