Nah, Im not saying that at all. Im saying it seems like an inevitable result of our collective inaction.

Said inevitable result being when the angry and desperate start raging against the machine this nation is gonna be the battleground. The Govt is gonna protect its own shit so the battleground is obviously gonna be our own streets. Again, an inevitable result of us allowing the govt to prioritize itself over its citizenry.

If you consider that to be a statement of us deserving it I guess thats fair, but like whats the alternative, to pretend nothing could have been done to avoid this?

I don't think "you made me burn down your store" is going to hold much water. Acting as though businesses getting burned down is simply a forgone conclusion doesn't add up either. Yes, the shit should have been addressed a long time ago, but targeting citizens, who also get shit on by police, sure as fuck isn't the answer.

And then when the people fight back, they're labeled villains, when the same "what did you think would happen" logic is applicable.

And it doesn't really strengthen your position to point out that they're going after targets that won't fight back.

Somehow the actions of the rioters are the fault of the owners of businesses they're destroying, and the rioters simply have no other choice.
