I don't think anyone thinks it's cool or ok to have riots. Also, people are pissed because of the inaccurate and well, incorrect publication from a medai that should know better than that. The issue has NOTHING to do with freedom of the press, but rather, accuracy and truth in reporting. Just like people were pissed when CBS and Dan Rather made the erroneous report about Bush. It's like c'mon people, are our standards slipping? The "product" is becoming more and more shoddy and unreliable. I think that's what the problem is.
Oh, and people are nuts EVERYWHERE, not just "the other side of the world". They're violent and nuts here too. Ever been to LA? We had two riots today. Race riots at that. Two. In one day. In the same city, at two different high schools. Both schools went into lockdown.
We seem to have riots after every big court case here. No hangings though, you're right about that. We haven't had any hangings or lynchin' in about oh...3 years or so. But it's all in the south anyways where the extremeist are.
I also agree with the article. The problem is with the extremists. And we've got a lot of them.
