Quotes about Riot

But it is not enough for me to stand before you
tonight and condemn riots. It would be
morally irresponsible for me to do that
without, at the same time, condemning
the contingent,intolerable conditions that
exist in our society. These conditions are
the things that cause individuals to feel
that they have no other alternative than
to engage in violent rebellions to
get attention. And I must say
tonight that a riot is the
language of the unheard.

"Why am I surprised that these young people behave destructively,
"mindlessly", motivated only by self-interest? How should we describe the
actions of the city bankers who brought our economy to its knees in
2010? Altruistic? Mindful? Kind? But then again, they do wear suits, so
they deserve to be bailed out, perhaps that's why not one of them has
been imprisoned. And they got away with a lot more than a few fucking
pairs of trainers."
