"a riot is the language of the unheard" - MLK

Have you ever read that speech? That small snippet was preceded by this portion of him condemning rioting, and talking about it being counter productive compared to peaceful protest.

"Now I wanted to say something about the fact that we have lived over these last two or three summers with agony and we have seen our cities going up in flames. And I would be the first to say that I am still committed to militant, powerful, massive, non -violence as the most potent weapon in grappling with the problem from a direct action point of view. I'm absolutely convinced that a riot merely intensifies the fears of the white community while relieving the guilt. And I feel that we must always work with an effective, powerful weapon and method that brings about tangible results"
