What is really sad is that these people do not even seem to realize that when they do these violent activities (especially looting) that all they do is to reinforce the negative opinions that decent law abiding citizens (both white and black) have of them. Which in turn, only hurts their own cause in seeking true justice!!
Actually it seems that you and others are forgetting something.
In all of this there will always be two kind of people. The people that are really protesting what is going on, and the criminals that will take advantage of any situation that lets them steal.
They don’t have to be the same people even though there can be a little bit of overlap between the two.
Marx described the looters as the lumpen proletariat. They are the dregs of society to be used to further the agenda of those who want to “fundementally transform America…” to quote BHO.

This is a interesting comparison story about the 20 year old Dillon Taylor shot in Salt Lake City a few days ago.
Its worth the read if you are not following the story.

There are also those who are simply looking for a chance to cause chaos.
