More »Murray: "The irony is that most of the stores that were destroyed during the riots were owned by black people." Danny: "That's stupid though, why trash your own neighborhood." Murray: "Well that's my point, it's an irrational act. It's like an expression of rage by people who feel neglected and turned away by the system." Doris: "Exactly, I mean it's like we had in Watts or the riots in Chicago in 68'." Derek: "That's crap, I don't buy that for a minute. Calling a riot an irrational expression of rage, that's such a cop out. It's opportunism at it's worse, it's a bunch of people grabbing any excuse they can find to go and loot a store, nothing more. The fact that these people ripped off the stores in their own communities all that reflects is the degree in which these people have absolutely no respect for the law at all and certainly no concept of community or civic responsibility." Murray: "Now wait a minute white people commit crimes against white people too." Derek: "Yeah but their not offing each other in record numbers all over America. Look at the statistics for christ sake, it's 1 in every 3 black males is in some phase of the correctional system."
