It's not a tu quoque argument and nor is empathy.
Oh Jesus, there has to be a fucking logical fallacy for that bullshit. Likewise, (cough tu quoque fallacy cough), I would contend that you probably aren't a victim of class inequality and that therefore you have no right to complain either. See? I can make fallacious arguments too.
Easy to say if you are not a victim.
Some rioters=/=all rioters. Violence isn't a good outcome, but I'm not going to rage when desperate/disillusioned people loot.
The right to be angry is not the right to target innocent victims.
Thanks. On the contrary you haven't made very good posts about the riots IMHO. =\ Smartphones=/=no right to be mad.
Very good post about "reactionaries"!
