@1983Bantam <<< The Japanese did not riot or loot after that huge tsunami because everyone is held to the same high moral standards. The Americans, however, DID riot and loot after Katrina because minorities are held to lower moral standards.  Compassionate "do-gooders" on the Left have spent generations convincing "hyphenated Americans" that they are hated citizens of a hateful country. They have conditioned them to feel like victims. A sense of victimhood is a tacit green light to do evil.

@WEH1123 Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it. First off, you're right: Stef did not say the disadvantaged have no moral responsibility. But by holding them to lower moral standards, he does them harm. He FEELS he is being noble and good by treating human beings like animals, but his feelings are wrong. And no, he did not explicitly condone the riot. But he did implicitly condone it. He's telling us we can't expect goodness from needy people. No. We must expect goodness from everyone.

I also looked at many post calming you are defining the riots but you are not and hoping that the people that are doing it watching you will stop and see what they are doing.

What you are saying is the people in power want everyone to be held accountable but they claim they are free from accountability. You are showing a flaw in the hypocritical system and it is a foolish system to ask everyone to be on different moral standards.

@stuntbaby63 He did not say they have no responsibility what he is saying is it is more short than those with a silver-spoon. He also did not condone the riot as it will only make matters worse. And also he is pointing out the morals are what we learn from society. If you have a society and is corrupt then you should expect the youth to come out that way, especially if you try to stop out critical thinking.

It like you hit the nail on the head so hard that is was in nice, clean and flat in hard wood route in only on one blow.

I always feel choice is a real thing but also an abused concept by those in charge. They say you had a choice so they can hold you responsible and punish you but when they do it. "We had no choice" "hindsight 20 20", "this is different". I am mad because of the one way street.

@stuntbaby63 But your Japs certainly behaved very well in Nanking and Manila in WW ll

@AshtonPhoto You know its not really acceptable just because there is worse elsewhere. e.g. I couldnt ask you to be grateful for a punch in the face just because I kicked another guy in the nuts? But... comparatively... in other countries there are police forces that are worse, and some are better, but it doesnt really have much relevance to this imo.

Do you agree that your perspective could be emotionally charged, or biased, due to your traumatic experiences that they were involved in?

[JTickett]

@AshtonPhoto The internet was originally considered revolutionary because it allowed perspectives to be shared, free from the unimportant influence of skin colour, gender, sexuality, religion etc. Privacy and disinformation make it hard for you to direct your argument towards my person instead of my argument.

I can not imagine any situation where I could be forced into needing them. Unless I needed one cop to protect me from another cop. Other than that... any ideas? When is a cop useful?

@JTickett

Police are normal humans, not super-humans. They are susceptible to exactly the same foibles that all other normals humans are.

I don't know how old you are (I can't find out because your channel burns my retinas) but sooner or later you may be forced to rely on them for help, as I have done on more than one occasion.

Police in Britain are no worse than anywhere else, trust me on this.
