1. Oh that's not rioting...

That's just young men letting off steam.

[noiretextatique]

7. it's, ur...for freedom or something

that doesn't sound as idiotic as what is was actually for...

2. I don't support any type of violent protest or celebration.

It accomplishes nothing, imo.

8. any advice for these white people?

maybe they should get involved with government or become doctors or lawyers

[bigwillq]

17. They should.

They need to be better people.

If you were a mayor, you would have to root for the other team.

14. The photos were picked with very little thought involved. Why did you fail to mention Baseball?

I thought the ones with fire were eye catching and the one with them breaking into stores was a nice counterbalance of the dozens of images I have seen trying to diminish the Ferguson riots. Especially the ones showing people looting stores even though the photos are old stock photos from other riots not from Ferguson. For example: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=346252762214496&set=p.346252762214496&type=1&theater

Because it's the title from the page I pulled the photos from.

12. Everyone knows there are also blacks involved in these sporting event riots

The point is that whites also riot just like blacks do but in the current world about the only thing they riot about is sporting events. Yet everyone gives them a pass. Currently the internet is filled with images like this that are not even from Ferguson. They also fail to mention there are white folks in this photo, you just have to look close:https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=346252762214496&set=p.346252762214496&type=1&theater


Both blacks and whites riot but there is a perception that only blacks do this. You see it all over the internet:

My OP and the link I got this stuff from are using nuance humor to fight back. But it looks like a couple of folks on DU didn't get the nuance.

11. Here's another one, from April:

Iowa State University Students Riot On A Tuesday For No Apparent Reason

18. Penn State had an idiocy riot in July of 1998.

A salient quote from an article at the time:

"It makes me sick,'' said Alvara Velez, an industrial-engineering student from Colombia. ``I come from what they call a Third World country. People there riot because they're hungry, because they want jobs. Up here, it's just a bunch of drunks.''

From philly.com

I lived in State College at the time and a number of idiots--overwhelmingly white idiots--complained that the town had become a police state because they weren't allowed to destroy cars and businesses and streetlights and property.

Way to wrestle with the big issues, PSU!

19. Yup, very true.

Years ago, they would riot for actual causes. Now, not so much.
