Why are People Upset at Rioters?

[Dadwen]

None of you sees the bigger picture. Such massive income inequality and poor and middle class being squeezed economically is creating chaos in society. Chaos has no particular aim other than breaking the established order. Stuff is going to get worse. Innocent bystanders and undeserving small businesses will fall prey riots. I am focused on the larger goal of breaking the current, corrupt system, and the chaos of riots and social upheaval can do that. The innocent will suffer in the crossfire, but the larger goal is more important.

sure seems like making those victims that may be indifferent now into outright enemy's sounds like a solid plan. (unless the larger goal is to get your asses kicked, in which case it sounds like a great plan)

That is partially true. I am the bottom rung of society. All opportunity has been stripped from me by this current system. I have very little left to lose, so the prospect breaking the established order through violence is okay to me.

Or a Trump fan who wants the rioters to become violent?

Its almost as if Cointelpro is real..

Because im trying to get to work. Im tired of them blocking the trains. Also i dont feel like getting robbed because they're a bunch of cry babies.

Im hoping the ones in London have stopped by tomorrow, i need to travel into central and its a pain in the ass on a normal day, dont need a bunch of sweaty protesters making my journey even more miserable

Is this thread happening

[Wolfheart9]

im not sure i understand the premise here
an election doesnt go the way you want so you should block traffc, throw rocks, hurt people and destroy property?

Nope, and the people doing it are mostly the black bloc groups. The violent part of it anyway. Or simply idiots using it as an excuse. You SHOULD protest things you don't agree with, but do so in a means that isn't going to hurt others. The point is to get the point across that X percent of your people are unhappy with what you're doing. Not just 'I lost' but 'There's no federal restriction on a man's balls, why are there federal restrictions on my uterus' kind of thing.

That's pretty true. The Milo protests here in the Seattle area (UW) had self labeled anarchists beating even liberal protesters. Though facts lacking given investigation, the guy shot during the protest is believed to be one of them--the shooter said he shot a racist in self-defense and was released.

Yea, friend of mine was witness to a portion of them and he's seen some of the same people in riots before completely unrelated to any of this. They just want an excuse to cause trouble and hurt others, which makes the other protesters look bad.

i didnt ask who was doing it
it was just trying to figure out if he thinks its justified...over a lost election

[Hammerfest]

I am actually rooting for the rioters.

Then you are rooting for selfish, petulant people who are destroying the private property of others purely because their side did not win an election. I wouldn't root for these childish people if I were you.

Hey, there is a huge gap between the rich and everyone else in this country. Pushed to the limit people are going to take from others what they need to survive. I could care less of some poverty stricken teen robs you at knife point for a couple bucks to get some food. Maybe you should have been more considerate in making sure the poor didn't reach such levels of desperateness, but focused on yourself instead. Maybe you should blame the system for forcing the poor to be this way instead of blaming the poor themselves.

That sucks but I don't see how the new system you would like to create is going to be better. Socialism and communism don't address productivity and resource scarcity.

Then the answer is still no, as I said.

You mean that is will cause even more division in society that may lead to a civil war which is surely a way to break the corruption of our system? It is almost as if that is exactly what I want to happen...

[Crissi]

yeah, advocating rioting is not going to lead to good threads. stop with that nonsense.
