What is NOT helpful in discussions about rioting in {name the city in question}

[Egnever]

13. Sorry that is nonsense

This has been brewing for decades this didn't happen this week. The sad fact is you can go look at the election results and see the piss poor turnout in a lot of the cities where many of these issues are occurring.

These communities need to take part in electing the people who govern them. If that doesn't happen no amount of looting in the world will change a damn thing.

Rage is understandable but pretending these things got out of control by themselves is a cop out. The people that live there cant be bothered until it gets so bad they can't stand it any more. By then it is too late and destroying their own community is worse than pointless it gives ammunition to the very powers they are presumably trying to change.

So what happens now? People wake up tomorrow and cant go get their prescriptions or get food to feed their kids and the same people who are not doing nearly enough to rectify the problems will continue to be there and people who have no resources to drive 20 miles for their necessities will be left with a god awful mess to deal with for weeks months or even years to come.

Register and VOTE all else is bullshit feelgood crap. Feels good to stick it to the man except what really happened is you stuck it to yourself the man will move on and you will be left in an even worse situation than you were before.

VOTE! Take that anger and fucking VOTE.
