Re: The Middle East and Western Asia riots- Your thoughts?

[(Anonymous)]

I keep thinking of the Los Angeles riots in 1992 and how yeah, I can buy the acquittal of officers charged with beating Rodney King being the spark, but there's a point where that just stops being an excuse: the response is no longer proportionate, the response does nothing constructive*, some actions taken by rioters have no logical connection to the issue at hand, and it becomes increasingly likely that at least some people involved either don't have the all of the information or don't really care and are just looking for an excuse to riot (really, lady? A trial didn't go the way you would have preferred and because of that you just had to go loot toilet paper?!?)

It's reasonable to be offended by offensive things, but I agree that there's probably a level where the film is just an excuse for releasing per-existing tensions or furthering unrelated agendas. I also agree with the comment about hiding in bed and wishing everyone else would go away, because as with the 1992 riots, I have neither responsibility for the cause nor power to mitigate the response so... shit?


*Like when a SJW insists on flipping out at people rater than approaching offenders diplomatically, thereby eliminating any possibility of actually being listened to.
