In California, to all human disgust, this depressing fucking gangsta execution grinds on. (And will the hood riot?) While, in New York, actors shoot cops.

no the hood won't fucking riot. what, have you been reading the alarmist, racist british papers again? they don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

meanwhile, down in australia, the riots continue....

sorry. should not have popped off like that. it just seems like a lot of the speculation about possible "riots" has come from faraway sites with .uk at the end, and it really cheeses me off. it's never been clear or even much of an implied possibility that this would occur, and of course it didn't. the speculation strikes me as itself implying that people of color cannot ever react to a tragedy or an outrage w/o burning shit down. i do believe the execution of tookie williams was an outrage, and i don't believe in the death penalty. it's barbaric. but some of the idle rumination on whether the faceless dark masses would "riot" is fairly uncivilized itself. IMO
still, i was out of line. no more coffee for me.

Riots are surely a legitimate form of political discourse?
