Will you join the FB group to try to help stop the riots?

1 Answer

Answer :

Probably not. It’s not that I’m in favor of the riots, it’s that there are a lot of Facebook groups for and against different issues, and I’m not sure they have done much good. It’s my belief that people join such things, mostly for the false belief that they’re making a difference, and the warm fuzzy feeling that they’ve done something about a problem and can go about their day.
