can we not turn this into a god debate? we should be debating if people have the right to burn down neighborhoods and terrorize the public if they disagree with legal procedings. or if purposely pissing off other people not involved in something will help garner their support for you

That's not the debate. Rioting is never "right", at least in the moral context of which it is against, and only justified if it actually accomplishes something. Not to mention equating rioting with terrorism is disingenous. Yes some people are taking advantage of the sitaution, but how did the situation arise in the first place? These are the questions people should be asking or debating.

hmm, well the family sure seemed ok with it last night when the step dad said, and i quote, "burn this bitch down" .. I have nothing against protesting, and if the officer was charged i could care less, but saying that, from his position, at the timing of it, is inciting a riot.
This has turned into nothing more then terrorism. Protesting is fine, and there is nothing wrong with protesting every day for the rest of forever. But when you start violence, when you interfear with other peoples lives, it becomes terrorism. People like to put fancy words aroudn it to try and make themselves feel better, but its terrorism. they are using fear and violence to try to get what they want over someone else. and to try and say its justified if it accomplishes something is a huge load of crap.

I don't think there are many people condoning the rioting, it doesn't seem a point worthy of discussion...
