I'm not so sure it's because it's ‘easier’ as much as they haven't a clue how to without guidance and instruction... and this flies in the face of them “believing” they can handle their own....but they can't see that their hyper-emotional manner of addressing things always gets in the way of any resolution....then things get out of hand once again.
Over and over again in these uprising all we see and hear is their ‘anger’ over that which they themselves need to change,... but when the tools are given to them for that it's rejected.
Something which stayed with me was the cry of one who was protecting one of the stores...who tweeted...”We are not animals..we civilized”..... That young man get’s it!
agree with every word
