The riots, etc, just make it look worse. I mean, does that really make them think they're "Cool"? (and by 'they're, I'm not talking about a specific race, just the people out on the streets) Well, they're getting the media attention, so they must think it's working.

I can't imagine rioting and causing a scene over anything, no matter how passionate I am about an issue. Just ridiculous.

Remember about 12 years ago the Lakers won a championship? And the fans started rioting in downtown LA bc they WON. Some of my school's windows were smashed in. So anytime after that whenever there was a big event at Staples, they made students leave early and boarded up the windows.
