Let’s get Sharpton on recod as saying he approves and condones and is helping to organize riots OR ask him to show the public that he has any standing in the community to bring about a reasoned response - if SHarpton is truly helpless to address the riots in their planning stages then lets organize to exclude him from megaphone opportunities and tacit social acceptance he presently has (e.g., formal one week boycott of channels who film him commenting on how it’s gonna be UGLY if we don’t find Zim guilty) and any others who have too much on the balance sheet (lots of credit toward fanning race riots and professed inability to do anything about it) Yeah you can see I don’t have a solid strategy but I just needed to try to present the idea that the strategy must be different to be effective.

I like a lot of your ideas... A way out of this mess could come from testing our ideas for solutions against each other. I didn't read your original comments as a strategy for dealing with evil ( for lack of a better word) I saw them as avoidance of reality. I was wrong. You have thought this one through - you're on-line plan to extinguish inappropriate behavior by NOT reinforcing it in anyway is solid. That's good if you're dealing with thrill seeking sociopaths. But it doesn't cover all of this mess - and certainly not if the thrill seekers are able to motivate those who are weak violent and/or 'people of action'... Anyhow you've given me things to think about... Thanks ransomnote.
