It's a mess. I completely understand what's driven people to this method of expression. Unfortunately, the real message will be lost in the destruction, violence and hostility, and actions of those who are taking advantage of the chaos to commit crimes, and we'll be no better for it in the end.

@TheMiddleWay He was such an inspiring man, and, of course, he was right. It is self defeating and destructive, and the necessary change won't come from it.
@TheMiddleWay so very true. It's easy to sit here and say we understand where it's coming from, that we see it won't bring the changes we so desperately need, but when called upon to validate the same things that drive them to it on the front end, we too often sit silent. Yet, that's the only place true change will come from.
