Exactly, it's not just peaceful protest or violent riots, there are other options. If we could truthfully say we've tried all other option than by all means riot, but when only 12% of the population of your community voted in people that don't look like or care about you then I can't buy that argument. We gotta organize.

They (racists) want us to riot so they can justify their racism.
