I believe this “event” deserves a deep examination to better understand the power social media and these influencers now have on a large part of the worlds peoples both young and old.

This current mob action was motivated in part by the promise of free stuff, what if that same influence was used for far more nefarious purposes, without an immediate, near tyrannical response, such a mob could do untold harm and damage, and such a mob could be raised in several places, several fronts at once.

I believe that there are some that will examine this riot and glean lessons from it that will be used for greater evil in the near future.

Beware and stay alert. IMHO this sort of thing was just a dry run for larger operations.

I’m curious what you say when white kids act this way? You probably don’t say anything.
