That's brushing it off, the "boys being boys" brushoff that I spoke about. "There's always folks who use these to riot"...
Yet there wasn't riots when folks protested on the preceding event.
It isn't okay to riot and there isn't "always folks out there rioting when these protests come along"... stop brushing it off those brushoffs are what engage the imagination of the jackwipes who want this to be about race. Stop the riots. Act against them, protest... protest is good, riots need to end right now.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
