I feel like I'm arguing with my seven year old. She thinks she has seriously solid logic, but it's so flawed that it's pretty much impossible for her to see it. Let's put it this way, OB, if I'm stressed out, depressed, and angry because I just lost my job, I can't walk into a crowded movie theater and start screaming "FIRE". If I do, then at the very least, I'm going to get in trouble for disturbing the peace (or something like that). If someone is trampled to death, then I'm going to jail for involuntary manslaughter. If I stand up in front of a crowd, with national media in my face, and yell something about burning this bitch down, then anything that burns down should be on my shoulders.
You tell me. He tells people to burn it down, and wouldn't you know it, people burned it down. You can argue till you're blue that they would have done it anyway, or that they were doing it before hand, but that just doesn't work. If a parent gives their minor son a bottle of whiskey, and that kid gets wasted later and then gets into an accident that kills someone else, you better believe that that parent is in deep ****. It doesn't matter if the kid would have got another bottle from someone else if the parent hadn't given it to him, nor would it matter if he had been drinking earlier that day before the parent gave him the bottle.
Oh, I didn't know you were there, covering the story, and had such an amazing in-depth insight to what really happened. Thanks for answering the question for me. (Since it's essentially not answerable, nor does it matter even if it was)
No need. You've read the same articles I have.
Um, that's what I've been saying for a while now. Stop being emotional. Take off your "poor, oppressed me" glasses and start looking at reason and fact.
Yup.
I totally agree. Once the skepticism has been resolved, however, a more logical approach must be taken if you're attempting to fix the problem.
In short, don't loot/burn your city because of a perceived injustice, because you're only making things worse.
