you just justified rioting/looting
wow
I'll justify the rioting. One way for the citizenry to fight back against "government" injustices or injustices in general is to protest which may turn into rioting. What is happening in Minneapolis is not unique. Some could say rioting is a part of American culture... or a part of civil unrest throughout history. Allow me to put into writing, as others have before me, some of the most talked about rioting / looting in American history.
- 1773 - Boston Tea Party
- 1786 - Shay's Rebellion
- 1786 - Paper Money Riot
- 1791-1794 - Whiskey Rebellion
- 1831 - Nat Turner's Slave Rebellion
- 1835-1836 - Toledo War
- 1836 - Cincinnati Riots
- 1837 - Murder of Elijah Lovejoy
- 1859 - John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry
- 1861-1865 American Civil War
Do I need to continue? Do I need to link to the calls or tweets or articles from white people, recently, calling to arms about opening up the states, or threats of fighting the government for injustices in the white communities? Do I need to link up tweets or speeches about how the 2nd Amendment can take care of political opponents? The sad, unfortunate, aspect of what is happening in Minneapolis is it is not talk. People around the country watched an injustice on Monday, some live, and all Americans should be demanding the arrest of the four former police. This is a clear injustice and human nature has one way to bring injustices to light. People make fun of a NFL player kneeling yet are attempting to justify the kneeling on someone's neck. It's disgusting and while I do not like what I am seeing in Minneapolis, I understand whole heartedly why it's happening.
