What's sad is that the human race just can't seem to learn lessons easily. The Watts riots, etc., are within the living memory of millions of Americans, yet the lesson was not learned. And the lesson doesn't have to be taught with riots -- psychologists will tell you that if you snub and marginalize whole classes of people, they will endure it only up to a certain point, and we have reached that point. Look for more well-deserved riots all around the country.
Of course, the sociopaths who run this country are perfectly happy to shoot at anybody they deem uppity, so this sad show may go on for a while. Plenty of countries have shot up mothers for asking where their kids were disappeared to. Sadly, it will be up to corporate businesses who don't want shoppers scared away from their stores to stop riots. Such an inconsequential reason, but for this superficial country, it may be the only reason that works.
