We lost lots of property in the war, didn't make the war wrong though

But yes, you are right it is easy for me to say, I havn't lost a thing, no argument there
People have died during these riots. Some of them black people. Yeah its easy to think its all worth smashing up a few windows it if it changes things, but there are victims and lives destroyed in this type of reaction too, but no one is talking about that.
