I did exactly what the news said not to do, I walked over there and took a brick. I don't have much of an opinion on the riots, it's all seems pretty silly to me. The one thing that seems really silly is the more police they have, the more violent the riots get. The more violent the riots, the more police they send for the next night. It seems so pointless, just stupid people looking to cause trouble.
Natural disasters have a way of pulling people together.
Neighbors make sure each other are ok, homeless people offering to lend a hand, and a general fealing of good will. Sure different then 12 hours before.
