There were two explicit assertions in my post.

Second, I asserted that people's attitudes toward 'punks' leads us not to care about 'street justice' being applied to them. The grand jury finding hardly makes my assessment of how people feel true or false....
So I don't see that the grand jury finding is a good basis for you to be certain I am wrong. Care to try again?

Shooting a felon who subsequently (and feloniously) assaults a police officer is indeed justice. Burning and looting the properties of innocent merchants to protest a grand jury finding is where the injustice lies.
