Although pretty generalized he may have been correct regarding what happened in the Detroit Riots. We can also however see this similar type of disconnect between any disinfranchised population and the world around them. Poverty and Ignorance in the way of a lack of education or unknowning of the world around us is just the tinder. When the spark comes from some gross (or percieved) injustice by an overarching authority, human group dynamics fan the fire and what you get is exactly what we've seen in poor, inner city situations - like Detroit, DC, LA. I think we are going to see rioters of a different breed in the near future. They very well may be the layed-off, outsourced, marginalized people you see today next door or at the grocery store, PTA meeting or shopping mall. I fear tomorrow will be nothing like what we see today or what we know from days gone by.mdean5417https://www.blogger.com/profile/00485230023277042682noreply@blogger.com
