No riots because apart from a handful of people and the constant flogging by the media, NO ONE CARES. Some photo ops, a few protesters, a couple of race batters and poverty pimps. BUT NO ONE CARES!!
I think that’s true. Many black people have someone like Martin in their families, and they probably thought (privately) that he got what he deserved or at least that he was going to end up that way sooner or later. I don’t think he’s quite the cause célèbre that’s Sharpton and Obama hoped.
They are nearly three weeks out from their last EBT refill and two more weeks until their next “payday”.
In other words, they’re too broke to riot.
Basically this. This whole story is ginned up faux outrage created entirely by the media. The real story is who decided to gin this up and why.
