“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” John F. Kennedy. You can condemn violent protests -which I do - and at the same time recognize that the corruption of a heartless economic & justice system is largely responsible for them.

We all have a responsibility to point out problems of a corrupt system as everyone else would argue “it doesn’t have to be perfect”. Corruption becomes acceptable with those words alone which is asking for failure.
