Make it a decaf for these folks...

Riot in Seattle

In Seattle, John T. Williams was shot by police. The shooting was ruled unjustified, but criminal charges will not be filed. To honor the memory of the shooting victim, and protest the use of force, the protestors acted like children throwing a tantrum---- throwing lit flares at police cars, damaging businesses and the cars of private citizens, trying to break bank windows, holding signs advocating violence.
What is their point? What are they trying to accomplish? Are they, in effect, daring the police to shoot them?
I tell ya what, I would love to see this happen in a more conservative city. Maybe these babies would go back home to their mommas and, let's face it, their unemployment checks if they were faced with a shotgun-toting businessman ready and willing to protect his livelihood with deadly force.
