Topic: WATCH: Mom slaps son for rioting

According to mom333's logic, the mother merely stampeded in mother-style. So, instead of criticizing the mother for stampeding, one should criticize the reason for the stampede. The reason for her stampede is that she saw her teenage son trying to engage in criminal activity.

Is "her" rant over yet?

Your views make you sound like an irrational, angry black woman who is also bitter about your experiences and that of your family. I can understand your hatred and anger against the system and certain people. But breaking the law, hurting one's community and railing against authority is only going to make matters WORSE. This is called BEING PLAYED. You played right into the hands of the police state because they were hoping that is exactly how you would react. Now, they have a reason to further control you. That mother is a heroine! She not only saved her son from an arrest and/or criminal record and prevented him from being just another statistic, she outsmarted the police state and the system by not playing into their hands by choosing a peaceful resolution instead. You could learn a lot from her, Mommy. Don't let your bitterness and hatred blind you to the higher cause and only make matters worse. The violence and looting which you are bitterly and ignorantly encouraging or condoning never solved anything. USE YOUR HEAD. And teach others to do the same. I fear that you are teaching your children that protesting this way is good and you are only contributing to the problem with your angry attitude. Wake up and wise up and listen closely to the words in this thread. A learning experience for you. Choose wisely for your own sake. that's the thing im not angry and I wasn't angry writing down my views either. im stating that racism is wrong and not listening to people when there is obvious injustice is wrong obviously. unless you go and talk to the rioters you will not understand how angry they are. and if you read all of what I said you will see im actively not condoning violence. even though some of the people on here have been nasty with me. violence is wrong on every level, on both sides. I try to understand why people do things instead of following the crowd. what I have said tonight here is nothing but the truth. violence is wrong against anyone. racism is wrong against anyone. not listening or helping someone is wrong, and writing someone of because they made a bad choice or bad choices is not good at all. understanding is better than fighting and getting angry. when my son is angry at me, I listen to what he has to say. and we talk.

If you want someone to listen to you, you don't use desperation tactics and burn down homes and neighborhoods. Yes, I hear you. They are angry that their lives stink and the system seems to be against them. But their tactics were horrible and counter productive, I hope you will agree. There are better ways of demanding a captive audience than looting and burning.

I know its hard to face facts when you don't want to hear. but its ok they do say ignorance is bliss.

The harsh reality is that, when a person is in the act of engaging in criminal activity, that's not the time to have a sit-down talk with that person. Instead, that is time to stop the criminal activity from taking place.

The fact is that the mother of that wannabe criminal did right. I know its hard to face facts when you don't want to hear. but its ok they do say ignorance is bliss.

You can only talk to those who will listen, and I don't believe I need to start a riot to stress my point

Instead, that is time to stop the criminal activity from taking place. and that is why she should of talked to him before. in fact as he was growing up preferably

But you are assuming before the facts are in. Succumbing to the group mentality yourself. As long as this is the case there is no point in a further effort to help or understand you..... and that is another point others are trying to impress upon you

(preferably ) earlier on in his life.

You believe that the ends justify the means. Big mistake.
