There are failures all over the place to point to:
- Police & Feds for not maintaining order & safety
- American gun culture
- Media for stoking the division & hyping up the jusitified shooting that started the protests
- People on both sides creating that situation that evening (ie rioters burning everything for no reason, vigilantes for playing police)
- etc etc
But a failure of the justice system this was not. Agree or not with the situation that arose, sure that is a fair debate, but with these 'crimes' the correct verdict reached.
The fact the media is now using this to sow more anger and division is just as treasonous and destructives to the states as the rioters burning the businesses.
Good take on the media's role in all the division being pushed:
