I was prompted to write that by a thread condemning the looting and burning. It was clear to me that the poster who wrote that thread had no understanding of the reasons those things happened.

When powerless people have no recourse for justice, they act out in ways that may be unrelated to what their real issue is. When a group of cops can kill a person of color with impunity, a reaction is required. If there is no reaction that will lead to justice for the dead person, that reaction will result in actions taken that don't directly relate to the harm that was done.

As a society, we are very stupid, I think.
