    Rioting is regularly the result of the social contract being broken through injustices continually being applied to a group. When it is made clear over and over that the state or society isn’t going to uphold their end of that contract, we cannot be surprised when the oppressed decide to throw away their end.

    Riots aren’t about what is effective, they are a natural consequence of inequity and they’ll continue to happen as this continues.

      No one is confused about the cause of riots.

      No one is surprised that riots happen.

      This conversation is about the justification of senseless destruction. I don’t argue with strawmen.
