Limited PvP -> PvE Free Character Transfers
The Cataclysm Classic Pre-Expansion Patch Arrives April 30
An Update on This Year’s BlizzCon and Blizzard’s 2024 Live Events
Did Blizzard just hotfix an ilvl requirement onto Awakened LFR?
What's the state of PvP like today?

There are no racial issues here, so I don't think it's going to be a "race riot." I think that it's an entitlement riot, because the rioters and protesters feel entitled. I really think we should leave race baiting out of this, because we're all part of the human race.
Would you consider the upcoming riots to be race riots?

Would you consider the upcoming Ferguson riots to be "race riots?"

Entitlement riot? What the fuck? Is that what we call systemically oppressed and impoverished people when they finally lash out?

A riot is a riot. There's no need to add descriptives to it. And it hasn't happened and hopefully wont.

There has already been violence, there is little reason to think that it could not happen again.

If the riot would not have occurred without a racial trigger, it's a race riot.
'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

I'm reasonably sure that if the violence does not exist, the police will find it necessary to create some. Originally Posted by Wells

Is the OP really saying that the Ferguson incident and subsequent unrest has nothing to do with race? I mean...seriously?

After the Zimmerman trial there were no riots. We might be living in a new age.

We don't need race-baiting threads like this, and we already have a Ferguson thread. Locked.
