And that's what makes America, America, different perspectives.

However when one's perspective (not Angelos in particular)leads to looting, rioting and destroying property it should be condemned without excuse. These were not just a few thugs and in fact the majority of those who looted the mall were high school students, attending school and finishing the day's classes. Many also appeared to not be so economically disadvantaged as they drove their vehicles to and from the mall looted. Again just ignorant people/students acting ignorant and ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking the law.

BTW I bet most involved couldn't pick Gray out of a three man lineup and saw the situation as an opportunity to get some free stuff.
