    It was mostly high school kids who did the worst of the vandalism that one day when all hell broke loose. All the adult leaders of the community were opposed to it.

    Yes, because intelligence is not something you are capable of: Irrational fear of or hate towards a group of people? Dude, you contradict yourself big time. Blacks have more to fear than whites. End of story. Wake up and smell the coffee.

    P.S. WTH are you so afraid of? Seriously...

    No, black men hanging from a tree is much worse, especially when they were castrated. Damn, does anybody read books anymore?

    Kurt despised people that thought they were superior because of their race or social status. Listen to his lyrics. He hated racism big time.

    Yeah, not as much, but it still happens. Sometimes it's even worse. Ever heard of what happened to James Byrd Jr.?

    behavior like this by anyone is unacceptable.

    I also deplore the violence,but I don't negatively judge all black people with it.I have and have had black friends.Ever seen how well African kids behave in school compared to American and European kids.We all need better schools.

    Let me ask you something....does a vandalized car compare to the shot down dead?
    I am not one for any violence....but don;t you think what keeps happening is a pressure cooker situation for some of these already down trodden?...and if the vandelization of the car and property was the worst that happened with the explosive pressurization that occurred, isn't that good news?...compared to how things could have gone?

    I just heard on the radio that there is a curfew in effect still, but the police have been walking through the crowds trying to connect to these people with handshakes and things, recognizing them as human beings.

    its better than the worst case, of course. but it also could have been handled in a far more prefessional and intelligent manner than vandalism, rioting, and "showing off" about how hard of a thug they are.

    Studies have shown a direct correlation between increasing poverty and more severe civil unrest on a global scale.I think this could have something to do with what we are seeing acted out.

    what i know about this world is that it seems that some people always seem to find reasons to hate some other people, and thats very unfortunate. i myself try to love everyone; however, the actions of some i do hate.
