Stop! Look outside your window, or, if you happen to live outside of the Downtown DC area, the front page of Google News. What do you see? Rioting. The answer is rioting. Other acceptable answers include: spoiled children unable to cope with the first major loss in their lives, perhaps the first instance in U.S.… Continue reading Hey Kids: This is Rioting.
