I've heard that some correspondents are using the term "riots" as regards recent events in
Ferguson, MO.
We've had riots in Detroit. My mom had a close call in the riot of '43 here.
We had big city riots in Detroit, Watts, and many other places in this country.
Ferguson citizens have not begun riots.
Ferguson citizens wonder if anyone else in our country realizes while compiling crime statistics; killing trumps looting.
When some people loot stores during a protest, they are not 'rioting'.
Even if some fires are set; when a preponderance of the people have something else on their
minds and in their behaviors, there is not 'riot'.
