About 3/4 of the arrested riots weren't local, just visiting anarchists.   :mad:

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

I myself feel like rioting sometimes, but I'm not sure how to do it ...  =|

What would I do - chop down a pine tree ... cut a barbwire fence  ???

Oh I see -- you're one of those armchair rioters. Get up off your lazy butt and go squish some bird's nests or tip some cows or something.

Nearest town is 17 miles away, although a bit shorter if I cut fences and stampede the neighbors' cows into town.

The news story I read said the demonstrators were demonstrating by looting a shoe store and a jewelry store.

That ought to get their message across!


Oakland being in California, I'm surprised they didn't demonstrate their ire by looting the medical marijuana stores . . .

Anyone wonder how the the riot would've been had that cop accidentally killed  a white guy? 

Thought so   ;/

It's not a story, then.
