We haven't seen riots....yet.

During my chats with our right wing crazy fellow citizens, that is what I have been trying to explain to them.

These are protests for the most part. with a side of looting thrown in but not sanctioned by most people protesting

No, i tell them, just wait.

The riots start when an all white jury finds all these cops not guilty.

You think this is bad now? people just exercising their 1st? lol, no.

Ask los angeles about that after the rodney king trial.

Lets hope to god we dont go down that road this time 8-(

I have not heard reports, yet, of anything that qualifies as a RIOT. What we have now is widespread civil unrest fueled by the fact that 40 million Americans are newly unemployed.

This situation can get much worse, and I fear that it will, but we haven’t seen riots yet.

I think the situation will deteriorate until we get a true leader.

I think that Trump is incapable of being the leader that we need.

Police are not your judge, jury, and executioner of unarmed civilians. This was a lynching without rope.
