I can completely understand why they are rioting, and I agree that the police in many parts of the country need to be cleaned up. But it's still incredibly stupid and self-defeating to burn down your own neighborhood. Who's going to rebuild it for them? Nobody.

That video of the mom smacking her son for throwing rocks at police is both horrifying and awesome at the same time. It's great that she's trying to get control of her kid, but it's also clear who he learned his violence from. But she's doing the best she can, and she's trying to be part of the solution.

This is a complex issue, but one thing that is crystal clear is that the riots are only going to make it worse.

That's complete bullshit, you're projecting your personal feelings on corporal punishment onto this mother and son. Where's your proof she has EVER hit that kid, in his entire fucking life, until she caught him throwing rocks at the cops? You live a white privilege life in the richest county in the entire fucking country, and don't have a clue what their life is about. So stick your self righteous red herring in your ear.

xoB seems to be on a kick of having people stick things into themselves.

At least for Glatt, it was only his ear.
