[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 299004, member: 983"] Pretty poor response to the endless illegal activities that have gone on there over the last couple days. I'm all for the right to protest but once idiots turn to looting and destruction of property, the hammer needed to come down. At least a bunch of bean bag rounds out of a shotgun....but who knows if someone with a gun would have reacted and turned it into a real mess. I think that is biggest reason they didn't push back....an already out of control situation could have turned to mayhem with many more lives lost. I wonder if there will ever be any repercussions for those they can prove did illegal activity in the riots or if things will be home free? Looks like the police and guard presence is pretty big today. Big picture- One thing to consider in these issues is that perception is reality for all of us. We each view the world through our own set of glasses. We were each raised in our own paradigm where we saw things a certain way. The tension and anger here comes from realities most of us only "think" we understand. Not saying any one person is right, but empathy and an effort to understand the why of each perspective is very necessary in times like this. [/QUOTE]
