Quote:Whats hyperbolic about it? 

 

Funny in one thread on the political forum you speak of personal responsibility regarding improving your place in the job world, as you speak out against higher (livable) wages, yet here, its almost as if you are allowing excuses against the personal responsibility of these savages. Yes savages. Personal responsibility is not something that you can pick and choose when to apply it, FBT. You either believe in the concept or you don't. 

 

Anyone who acts like that manner displayed in the OP article and commits destructive criminal behavior like that is a flat out savage. Opportunists?? As said, thats nothing but an excuse.,,,,and there is NO excuse for that kind of destructive and potentially deadly behavior. 

I'm not allowing for any excuses here.  That's why you've got issues with reading comprehension. 

 

My point is clear.  These people aren't "savages,"  That's just the typical hyperbole coming from the queen of such things. 

 

What they're doing is just an extension of the entitlement mindset that permeates a good portion of the population in this country.  They see an opportunity to take advantage of a situation using that as justification for destroying businesses, shooting at police, and burning buildings and cars.  These are the same idiots who behave similarly when their teams win titles, or an election doesn't go their way, or a jury doesn't rule they way they see fit, or maybe the jury does agree with their viewpoint.  They're still going to riot, loot, and cause mayhem.  Savages?  Hardly. 

 

There's no excuse in calling them opportunists.  For someone with such a self proclaimed high IQ, you are completely clueless in some areas.  They're looking at a situation that presents them with an opportunity to stoke the flames, and they take full advantage.  Hence, they're opportunists.
