There needs to be calm now.

[Mr.Bill]

let's show them they were wrong about riots, like they were wrong about everything else.

[NoOneMan]

1. Why?

Submit to a system that fucks you or have the system taunt you for reacting?

Who are we to decide what is the best, most rational reaction.

Im white. Its not my place. I won't judge

[Mr.Bill]

3. Random violence is not the answer.

It degrades those who participate in it.

The legal system is not played out yet. Zimmerman can still be brought up on federal charges.

Martin Luther King never participated in a riot. And black men were swinging from the trees during his lifetime.

[NoOneMan]

4. Ah, those are the cliches the system generates to protect itself from reaction

And who is to say this violence is "random". Seems pretty well provoked to me.

The legal system is not played out yet. Zimmerman can still be brought up on federal charges.

More bullshit to keep people passive

Martin Luther King never participated in a riot.

And? He is no saint. Saints don't exist. We are all just humans. Formally beasts. Im not particularly sure why we must conform to a machine that strips us of such humanity with total and utter disregard


But no...I'm not advocating anything. Im just questioning what is the truly most human and rational reaction, and stating it is not my place to judge. Carry on everyone.

[Mr.Bill]

5. You are entitled to your opinion.

And while valid, it differs from mine.

Silence and calm screams right now, IMHO.

[HiPointDem]

2. nobody's freaking rioting, go home

[rwheeler31]

6. Calmly sue everyone involved in this fiasco.

The riots will be in their paranoid minds.

[Mr.Bill]

7. Well stated

[NuclearDem]

8. Fuck that. Agitate, stand up, and scream down this bullshit.

"Calm" and "whispers" don't generate change. Lots of very angry people fighting for justice does. The damn SYG laws, the NRA/ALEC's role in engineering this atmosphere, and the de facto racism in our culture.

Riots only come when the cops mobilize.

[Mr.Bill]

10. I agree in principal with what you say.

I'm just saying burning down your neighborhood tonight will solve nothing.

[NuclearDem]

11. I'm not advocating for violence, but we absolutely can NOT be silent and calm now

[Mr.Bill]

12. I say calm, not silent.

So we can meet in the middle.

[wundermaus]

9. Calm is not the correct word...

The word is despair...
