    I hope I'm reading this wrong, as I didn't hear much here about the other incidents mentioned. Did you post about them?

    Should I not be pissed off about this, or does it need to be justified to some - setting shit on fire and stealing from your neighbors?

    Jesus. People can speak their mind about shit like this without being taken to task with "oh yeah, what about when THIS happened?" types of posts.

    Again, really hope I misconstrued, otherwise, come the fuck on.

  • Funny, the term "thug" wasn't used once in this thread:

    http://community.pearljam.com/discussion/123302/riot-happening-in-vancouver-right-now

    Why was that?

    I'm not even going to read that thread. I was referring to the newspapers and editorials at the time of the riots in my province.

    Just pointing out the bias. No need to get emotional about it. I thought I asked a legitimate question.

    Man, I love the labels tossed around here lately. Of course your question was fine and note I asked if I got it correctly.

    Almost expected a little "there there" pat on the head with that emotional comment nonsense.

    God forbid heart meets mind.

    Has yours not?

    Gonna let this silly shit go. It's not about squabbling pettiness.

    Again, all I asked was what I thought was a legitimate question. One I guess I shouldn't have asked unless I posted about previous incidences referenced in my question. And then I'm asked if my heart has met my mind. What did you mean by that?

    And this is happening the week the L.A. riots turn 23 years old. These two wrongs make no right. Going to the radical left of Noam Chomsky is just as bad as going to the right of Dick Cheney. Residents need to use their heads and common sense ffs.

    The term thug was what the black/female mayor of Baltimore referred to then as. I'm sure it's ok to use this term to describe these criminals.

    Does it need to be reminded why the riots happened? The death of a man dragged by police and then thrown around in their vehicle under questionable circumstances? And then the refusal of police to explain how he died in police custody? The consistent bad reputation of the Baltimore PD and their history of brutality? It's ALL related.

    We have seen where getting emotional in these forums lead to nothing but trouble, steering away from the topic altogether and getting way too personal. But we're all too familiar with that...

    I started this thread, as I said last night, because rioting in an American city is a valid topic of discussion here on AMT. I make no apologies for that as I am not at all sorry some people have a problem with it.

    Well I understand why and it's happening. And it's not a race thing, many whites have rioted after being put in bad situations. Revolutions baby.

    I beg to differ with you.
    I agree. White males generally tend to riot when their favourite sports team loses.
    Sweet. HA!

    This thread a perfect example of whites living their lucky ass lives and looking down at the poor and weak and getting the superiority bug.

    Again you aren't special. You aren't smarter. Your definitely not more aware or enlightened. Your just lucky.

    Rather than looking at things and saying hmmm what the FK and why and how to change things you sit behind your keyboards in your safe little white neighborhoods and stroke yourselves

    Think of the human condition along with some history of human behavior, and whites as well, and you will not only understand "Baltimore" but maybe think what we can do as humans to prevent situations such as this.

    But alas stroking ones insecurities is easier and I expect from observing human behavior that the stroking and stroking each other will continue. Just get your hanky and windex before hand.

    the rioting and looting has little to do with the death of Gray. it's just a bunch of thug gang bangers taking advantage of the situation for their own agenda.

    Has everything to do with it.

    It's not that you shouldn't be pissed, or that this thread shouldn't exist. The point is that people should be asking themselves why the reaction to a murder is condemned more heavily than the murder. People here should recognize that their selective outrage is being expressed in the exact same manner as it is by the openly racist rubes of Facebook, Twitter, and the whole spectrum of social media.
    It isn't on Halifax to have started threads about white sports riots, because he didn't jump into this thread to rant about how terrible it is. It is up to those of you who did to ask yourselves why it is never a big story in the media, on social media, or on these boards when riots happen by young white men due to sports, but riots in reaponse to police murdering citizens bring out denouncers by the truckload.
