My opinion?

Everybody. I think this mess belongs to every one of us. What we didn't do, we allowed to happen.

@Mamapolo2016 No I don’t agree with that.
@cherokeepatti I didn't expect very many would.

@Mamapolo2016 It’s like you are saying the ones who got their own property damaged allowed it to happen and they should also have to clean up the messes.
@cherokeepatti No, that's not what I mean.

I mean that the entire atmosphere of anger against unbalanced justice and treatment was generated by the reality of unbalanced justice and unequal treatment. And we all contributed to letting that heat and pressure build up until it exploded.

More, this is not the first time and if things don't change, it will not be the last time.

I am included in 'we.'

@cherokeepatti Well... I guess They could (or should) have shot the fucktards and had the mess sorted out later...

@Mamapolo2016 the media is adding fuel to it. They should have to come & help.
@cherokeepatti I totally agree. A better way to punish the media would be to buy nothing they advertise. They are the termites and locusts of society, destroying the house they live in.

@Mamapolo2016 I agree with you. I think the majority of us bare responsibility because we did not as a society do enough to try and stop institutionalised racism or the police brutally and as such we are responsible to an extent for the events that are occurring.
@AntisocialTroll It is a shameful realization for me.

@Mamapolo2016 Me too.

@Mamapolo2016 I agree with you. In fact, I’d go further and say the people who cause these problems in the first place (by being selfish and/or racist) should have to do some of the cleanup.
@SmartKat That too. But if we don't realize that not acting right is effectively the same as acting wrong, the future will be grim.
