take personal responsibility

[desimo]

I am so tired of hearing the news saying how a stupid video is responsible for the riots. It is like when people say the shootings are because of guns or drunk drivers are because of alcohol. People do not loot because they are poor. People do not riot because they are 'offended'. It is time we helld people accountable for their choices. If you riot you deserve to get shot or hurt by poeple defending themselves. If you hurt someone while driving drunk then you deserve to do jail time. If people know they act inappropriatley if they do not take proper medications then the problem for their actions is their choices NOT to take medications. If someone knows they have been burning the candles at both ends and are tired and cranky, then it is their fault for being tired and cranky and needs ot take a nap. Stop making excuses for people's actions.

Our mainline news media needs to take responsibility . There`s a difference between protest and rioting . This is rioting.
