That's a fair point. I'm probably thinking of everything I've seen people saying. Shouldn't put that on OP.

That said, to some extent, the protests were never just about Freddie Gray in the sense that every protest is about the whole historical and social and economic context, and also about whatever motives each individual person in the crowd has in mind. And I also have trouble tracing the boundaries between anger at society, and sheer maliciousness.

I don't know. I just feel like there's this weird narrative where the rightness of someone's cause is held to be determined by the peacefulness of the ends which they use to attempt to attain it. And I don't agree with that.

This. I agree with all of this.

While I agree that it is hard to define the boundary there are somethings that are definitely over it - like cutting the line of a fire house being used to put out a house fire.

I don't actually think that's the right narrative to use at the moment because holding up the above example, or the looting as part of a righteous cause is...well. Wrong. Those things aren't about a cause beyond maliciousness.

Yes, this. I don't think you need to know exactly where the boundary between anger at society and maliciousness is, to know that this is way over it. And getting all hair-splitty over where exactly the boundary is just sounds like trying to absolve the people who are doing the malicious acts.

Nah.

At least for me (as the one who was making the defensive posts), it's one part pre-emptive strike against politicization of the thing, and one part engrained skepticism about certain kinds of social judgment.

Of course it is over the line and of course the people who are doing the malicious shit are awful.

All true, but it sounds like the people OP is talking about are basically just assholes and aren't interested in justice or anything like that.

Some people just want to watch the world burn. Or a house.
