Yet again, a bunch of multi-colored yahoos take offense at some "race-related" incident - the local red commies elbow their way into the fray. The result - a riot of color flares up in Oakland, where nobody wins. (Apart from a bunch of Oakland locksmiths and glazing firms!)

The SFGate say that the victim shot by a BART policeman was a typical poor kid with no qualifications, doing not very well for himself, his skin color - not white. He got killed for brawling. That is wrong on so many obvious levels.

Something is also wrong on a less obvious level. The communist element, probably wearing designer riot shirts used the death of someone failed by the system, to educate American citizens in the ways of another failed system!

Basically, in the eyes of communism, all property is theft, and the red rioters would have you believe that it is philosophically liberating, not terrifying, to witness complete strangers smashing up the cars and shop windows you stupidly worked so hard to own.

Boots on the other foot

It would be interesting to see the reaction of the commie rioters if their victims (the car owners and shopkeepers) went round to their aggressors' abodes and set their homes and cars on fire. They may see their untrendy lefty philosophy differently by firelight.

Final analysis

Most of the rioters didn't even consider the consequence of their actions on the democratic process they hate. It will now be easier than ever for the authorities to focus the public's full attention on lawless hooligans, and skirt around the nub of the matter - a man was shot dead by a policeman for fighting at a BART station.

Perhaps the BART officer could win over the public's support, by publicly asking his superiors to train him in the art of breaking up fights without a gun. And if they don't know how, then go ask any street policeman in the UK.
