At this point in the "officially sanctioned" rioting in Baltimore, we have seven police officers injured, one who is described as "non responsive".
But hey, the folks on the left will throw out crap like this in order to explain these things.
"...strong reactions are not arising from a sense of "disappointment," but a deep and serious concern about justice and oppression..."
Does anyone seriously think that injuring seven innocent people is an appropriate way to deal with a percieved lack of "justice" and "oppression".

No, of course it isn't. No one is saying it is, that I have heard.
What some people have noted is that truths like, "When you sow the wind, you'll reap the whirlwind..." or as Martin Luther King, commenting upon the 1965 Watts riots, asserted, "It cannot be taken for granted that Negros will adhere to nonviolence under any conditions. When there is rocklike intransigence or sophisticated manipulation that mocks the empty-handed petitioner rage replaces reason." ... that these thoughts make some sense in these scenarios.
Just so you aren't misunderstanding my actual position. Going away again.
So now you're trying to use king to justify the rioting.
The problem is that there has been no lack of justice. The officers are going through the established process and we'll see what happens.
It's also interesting that these things happen in places where liberals have historically held power.
So now you're trying to use king to justify the rioting.
I repeat: No one is saying that injuring seven innocent people is an appropriate way to deal with a real lack of justice. NO ONE IS SAYING THAT.
In citing King and the Bible, I am not saying that it is justified.
DO you understand the words that I am writing? Will it help if I repeat it ten more times? NO ONE IS SAYING THAT.
We are noting the reality of human nature that justice denied/oppression incurred carries with it some consequences - UNDESIRED consequences, sometimes, but consequences that can be counted upon to happen.
Hopefully you understand my point now.
The question then is, was justice truly denied? Is oppression truly incurred? Or rather, as seems clear, are these charges falsely offered to justify that rioting?
