What I don’t understand is, why advocate violence? What is the point of predicting riots, or threatening riots?

What is the goal of rioting? To scare us? To show displeasure?

It took some big areas of major cities decades to recover from the riots of the ‘60s. Some parts of Detroit never recovered at all.

What was the lasting political statement made by the Rodney King riots?

I just don’t understand why rioting is a good thing, if they get a verdict they don’t like.

You're assuming cognitive ability on the part of the rioters.

The shape of The Bell Curve isn't an aesthetic expression.

Yo, fool, I gets to steal me free stuff without getting caught, duh.

rioting is not the menas, it is the end itself. It is (1) an opportunity to get free swag and (2) a chance to beat on whitey & get away with it.

What was the lasting political statement made by the Rodney King riots?

As in the aftermath of the 60's riots, social welfare spending in the 'hood increased as a result of both.

The way to stop rioting is to stop rewarding it.

Why?

Same reason the muslims do it.

A small percentage of the population can hold the rest of the population hostage.

It's all about power, nothing more.

Cuz rioting is code word for looting and they iz a lot of bling and technology to catch up on. Oh and Nike shooze.

Stretches on Madison Street, Roosevelt Rd. and 16th Street on the west side of Chicago are still littered with vacant lots. Buildings once stood there, until rioters burned them down. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were rebuilt quicker.

Yes this is part of the ‘mau-mau Whitey’ strategy the ‘civil rights establishment’ and the whole black racist movement keep agitating. part of it is the anticipated rewards to the Sharpton-Jackson crowd if there is significant rioting as they will get to take part in another round of ‘dialog’ to blame Whitey and more federal grant money for their ‘outreach’ efforts. Part of it is the pure pleasure black racists enjoy in frightening Whitey. This part is due to white complicity. I know middle class professional white people who utter such remarks as ‘thank heavens O J was acquitted. Otherwise there would have been violence.’ My response which was ‘who cares? The Amish only wreck their own already crappy parts of town. And why is everybody so afraid of people who are such arrant cowards and incompetents. Black thug types are pretty skittish outside the hood. The unspoken truth is that the ghettoized plantation blacks are still pretty scared of ‘the Man’ and only feel powerful in heavily armed (admittedly they can't use the weapons worth a crap) posses moving around their own areas. The response to this by white professional middle class types has been incomprehension and further terror. The problem is white people have been to a large degree emasculated by constant guilt mongering and the pacifist mentality of much of middle class America.

They burn down their current neighborhood, then demand replacement housing, via Section 8, in YOUR neighborhood.

The Demonic-rat party can not survive without the block votes of minorities. The only way for the Demonic rats to achieve this is by instigating and inflaming racial hatred, class hatred, envy, protests, entitlement mentality and the violence and crime that all the above cause.

If you read the history of the Third Reich you can see many of the same techniques used by Hitler and his brown shirts as they stole democracy in Germany and plunged the world into World War II.

Unless something changes in the next election we should give heed to Bob Dylan's song, “THERE IS A HARD RAIN GONNA FALL.”

Civil unrest is a vital component of dialectical Marxism. It is a means of creating dissatisfaction with an existing system and creating a demand for revolution and a new order.

If you're one of those who don't believe in conspiracies best you do some more thinking and a lot of research. There is a conspiracy afoot, and it's aimed at the heart and soul of America.

The real shame is that there is nothing new about it, it is a very old conspiracy. I heard about it long ago, when schools still taught American civics.

They riot when they get what they dDO like!!!

The Lakers win the NBA championship and the center of downtown Los Angeles goes up in flames.

“I just don’t understand why rioting is a good thing, if they get a verdict they don’t like.”

Being POOR is a state of mind and POOR people do not think long term. They only ACT with immediate gratification as the goal. These POOR minded folks will only re-act out of anger and the rioting will give them immediate gratification.
