"Riots are simply uncontrolled energy masses. If you try to “push” it, it moves somewhere else with the same force."

 This is a really good way to describe riots.

 There's a reason in other countries the primary option is lethal force followed by individual containment/capture and "prosecution".

"WOW, Someone takes the money in your house/bank, takes your house/land, and takes your job,
Your not going to be angry ?"

 No.  The time spent being angry is useless to me, I would better spend that time gaining shelter for the night, food and water.


""...  Anger is not a universal reaction to loss, especially regarding tangible items. ..."
I believe it most certainly is.

OK, so you say it doesn't affect you,
then I am guessing you are about .0002% of the civilized nation populous."


 I know people besides myself that have had personal items stolen that did not get angry.  Some even laughed, so I would say anger is not universal in aspect to personal property, but very common.

 I imagine this is why so many people tell me I "should" get angry, not realizing it makes as much sense, and impact, as me saying they "shouldn't" get angry.  At the end of the day, who cares how we feel about things?  Nobody I hope.

OK, so then no caring about, Solar fields, the 2nd, MJ being legal in CO, CDC recording a car accident death as c-19, etc. etc. etc and so on.
Good to know where you are coming from.


 I'm concerned more about doing than feeling.  I may "feel" strongly about Solar fields but if I "do" nothing then why would anyone care?

 What value does my time have with someone being "angry" over Solar fields versus my time spent with people enacting transparency laws?  I' much rather spend my time preventing abuse than being angry about it.


"I believe that is the mantra of the people that want to tell someone what to do, every second, of every day.
AKA, socialists/communists"

 I am a socialist communist by your definition then since I do not care if people are angry.  I only care what they do about it.

"That's like saying:
You have to Drive down the road, in 'That Truck',
to put gas in the tank of, That Truck.
Yet, That Truck, has no gas in it,
to to drive down the road to put gas in it."


 This assumes "anger" is a requirement for action, as in gas is required to make a vehicle run.

 I don't think "anger" response patterns are a requirement for reacting to loss.  I think they are common, but not universal.

 If someone has their car stolen that they like and they start a process to make finding stolen cars easier because they were "angry" I am interested in what they did to make finding cars easier.  I am not interested in if they were "angry".

 If someone has that junk truck out front stolen, and also start a process to make finding stolen cars easier, but is "happy" someone saved them the time of towing that old truck, I am interested in the process they developed, not if they were "happy".



"OK, so they are Angry about it, that is not, "...what they do about it..." ?  "

 No.  Being angry is how they feel.  They can be angry and do nothing at all.  

 I was lucky enough to very briefly work with John Taffer's organization years ago.  This is the guy that does "Bar Rescue", I met him before that show was in development.

 His group discovered and developed a number of sociological/psychological  concepts in regards to human purchasing habits and social consumption of food and alcohol.  For instance experimenting with bar-stool and table heights to see how many inches of variance human eyes need to stay in a building the longest.

 One thing I remember him talking about was "Getting angry" and was basically saying to get pissed and use that to motivate change.  I imagine that's why he yells so much in his show, besides the ratings appeal.  He was the first person I knew that actually promoted and developed positive results by funneling an anger response into productive behaviors.

 So there's that.  Not my way of doing things, but I see the value in it, if one uses it appropriately but this seems rare.  

 With what is going on with the "protests" today would be an example of anger used inappropriately, and people just having fun destroying things.

How do we return from this?
I don’t think you can compare this to Civil Rights protests of the 60’s because those had a clear and legitimate foundation behind them.
These are based on some quasi-revolutionary idea that none of the $hitheads in this group could articulate if their life depended on it. I’ve been to Rochester, it’s decent sized, but not that big. Maybe a million if you add up 30 mile circle. The idea you can just go stupid on people and property with no risk of consequences has got to stop.

Or a goal of:
"Ill Get MORE when I say Gimme Gimme, Gimme". Louder !

A normal person raised with values and ethics, when confuted by Police.
Will Say; "Yes sir.", and do what they are told, because if the Police are in the wrong, it WILL get sorted out.

A entitled/coddled/raised with NO values or responsibility person,
will, when stopped by Police, Run, smart mouth, lie, hit/fight/call names,
Before, any thought of if the Police are wrong or right.

Kinna like the animals in the park,
A animal is used to finding their own food, by working for it.
They don't bother anybody.
A Animal, used to HAND OUTS, gets violent,
when their are less hand outs,
or they think someone will stop giving them hand outs.
Their is a reason their are;
(BIG signs saying, 'Do Not feed ...")

(Oh for the tt clones, that is NOT dependent on any color skin)
