If the unrest of the last couple of years leads to black men not being shot out of hand by the police then they will be good riots, a few burnt 7/11's and a Wendy's is a small price to pay for that, I grant you it probably wont but it might.

Well, we obviously agree on the use of violence against innocents to attain political goals.
What I find strange is that people think that they will be the only ones to use such tools.
