Things are simply not going to change fast enough or with any significance.  They aren't, no matter how many protest and loot and burn and whatever.  Maybe I'm a pessimist, but I left the idealism of youth with my youth, and unfortunately my pessimism has generally  been right.

If you want to try and change things, great, count me out.  I'm tired boss.
And I'm sure that's perfectly normal.  We all age and are influenced by our experiences.  
If you take all of the individual issues that tend to separate us, it all really comes down to being optimistic that bad things can change quickly vs seeing enough ongoing bad things and thus being pessimistic that they can change anytime soon (as you said).  When we look at it this way, both sides are understandable and the rift shrinks a lot.

The fact that I laughed my ass off at this- especially what the NBA player said about why he kicked the white guys ass- probably doesn’t prove I am not racist, as much as it proves I have a warped sense of humor.

Before all this, just last week, I saw a video of a kid keying the hell out of a guy's car, and the owner walked up and beat the shit out of him.  The funny part was what all the bystanders were saying - you key a car like that, you get what you get!

I think that's a universal thing.  If you catch someone doing that to your vehicle, all bets are off.

why wouldn't you loot a Target store, as opposed to the drug store?

Curfew in Phx for a week, due to the fancy mall in Scottsdale being looted.

Excrement hitting the air circulation device here in SoCal. 

Not so much in Mission Viejo, but a lot of people I know are in the thick of it. College friend in Santa Monica, many of my wife's friends in Long Beach.
