Don't use legitimate problems to defend dumb asses who most likely are not even
affected by those problems.
It only makes people ignore the real problems because you are associating them with
just plain stupid acts like calling for a riot on Facebook.
It's totally illegal to do what they did.
They could have made the exact same post and substituted "protest" in place
of words like "looting" and there would not be a charge.
A protest is not a riot.(until the cops show up at least
)
