The loss of loss of a single life can truly affect many, but how a life is lost will affect many in different ways. American citizens were capable of watching in dismay as the riots over one man’s unjust and tragic death could instigate so much mayhem and destruction. Death in itself can be unjust, for many tragic reasons............
The apparent unjust murder of George Floyd has now become the latest ignition point of the rise of anger, hatred, and rioting in several U.S. cities and in cities across the world. It is video evidence indicating undue force by police action that led to one citizen being killed that can rightfully justify anger and indignation. Americans do not like such unjust action because we still live in a civil society. Our civil society is based on the Judeo-Christian heritage at the heart of the nation. The Ten Commandments express the prohibition of murder, and thus the justice system of our nation has been established to protect U.S. citizens from murder............
Such violent rioting spread over a widespread area, however, is not limited to what could be considered spontaneous demonstrations of anger over police brutality. The government is instituted to protect citizens - not permit harm to its citizens. A person of common sense needs to realize that such violent and prolonged rioting is not really a backlash against the ineptitude of a local Minneapolis police force, the ineptitude of government, but a general melee against common citizens. Such rioting represents a zeal with which to do harm to anything or anyone in harm’s way. Much like rabid dogs snapping at anything in their path, there is no respect for civility or order.
Sustained ferocity, increased violence is indicative of planned and sustained activism A general melee against common citizens who are just trying to survive in a time of the coronavirus is also unjust. Businesses all across the U.S. had already been hard hit due to the lockdown or shutdown orders from the governors of various states. Millions of the citizens are hurting financially. So, when the businesses are torched and looted, what does that say about those who are supposedly protesting against injustice? It sends the specific message to people with common sense that the rioting no longer has moral linkage to George Floyd’s murder..........To Read More....
