Someone tried to justify all this rioting by comparing it to the rioting during the times of the civil rights movements. No. Do not. This is not the same thing at all. I am well aware that great change can occur by a unified stand against injustice and even that the process of that stand may involve violence to incite that great change you are hoping for but no, that is not the case here. This is not a just cause that benefits humanity as a whole and betters our future or is freeing slaves, no. This is millennials who are throwing a temper tantrum as would a child who did not get their way. Do not even attempt to compare this civil unrest to the kind that occurred when attempting to end oppression against blacks. No. Just do not. I can fully respect those marching for their rights or even what they're passionate about or believe in, that's your right but what I cannot respect is those destroying businesses and fighting and hurting each other. There is a huge difference between being passionate about something and being angry. Let us not confuse the two. Passion breeds progress, anger only breeds more anger and hate. Nothing positive has ever come from anger nor has great change been brought about by hate. No. Indeed, it has only ever been Love that inspired great change in the world. So can we get back to Love and just move forward? I pray so. - Bri
