I do not think these are people who are given to self-reflection.
Late last night, on CNN there was a short segment of a black woman, obviously not a gang banger, but in the midst of the ongoing mayhem, screaming hysterically... This is Un-ack-septible! we were demonstrating peacefully and we have to deal with tanks, swat teams and tear gas!
...all the while surrounded by burned out hulks of stores, flying Molotov cocktails, buildings and bullets zippin by all over the place...
Hysterically and emotionably repeating, This is Un-ack-septible!
This is Un-ack-septible!
I stared dumbfounded at the TV screen, wondering if I had been transported to that other place "...moving into a land of both shadows and substance, of things and ideas,... I'd just crossed over, into...

"Reciprocity!"
"Disproportionate response!"
The deaths of a few cops, in addition to some deaths of the out of control thugs, would have made things, I suppose...
Ack-septible?
