Do any of you think it may have something to do with the riots?

I'm not trying to agitate the fecal matter, I'm really interested in your ideas. Or comments, however blunt

Oh, and we do have riots, usually assosciated with hockey
I think it's more to do with class than race.

Not in the traditional working, middle, upper groupings

We now have a percentage of people, across those traditional groups, who see things very differently.

There are those 'that have'.

There are those 'that want', and expect they should have, regardless as to how they get what they want....because they deserve it.
