What has freedom of speech to do with burning the cars of people who just happened to park in the area where you want to exercise your "freedom"? What was the fault of the business owners who had their stores trashed, windows smashed or even set on fire?
Hear, hear. It's always occurred to me that rioters (and even terrorists) always pick the wrong targets. *Disclaimer: I don't support terrorism.* But that guy who flew his plane into an IRS building? He knew what he was doing. The 9/11 terrorists? They at least hit the Pentagon. What I'm saying is that the gripes are almost completely with government institutions and the judicial system (like the Rodney King riots, etc.), but the rioters don't end up storming a courthouse; they break into shops and loot stuff. It makes total sense if you're a cynic like me who thinks that greed drives most people's behavior, but rioting doesn't accomplish much for whatever the cause is except for media attention. Terrorism accomplishes a lot, but not in a good way for
anyone.
It's astounding how much unrest there is in the world today. 2019 is nothing like how I remember the early days of my life or even when I got out of college. I'm just hoping something good comes from all of this and doesn't lead to armageddon.
Another says there is a plan for a large group of rich parisians to withdraw all their money from institutional banks all at the same time just to prove these banks do not have enough money to produce the funds when called upon to do so.
Now
that's what I'm talking about as far as targeting the right institutions.
