I don't know if the thread title, in and of itself, is inflammatory. Seems to me it's come to be a fairly accurate common term to describe an increasingly common self-destructive behavior. And the police are the ones traumatized by it.

Not dissimilar from the traumatic experience that railroad locomotive engineers experience every time somebody walks out and stands between the rails in front of an oncoming train.

I worked for a time on a critical incident debriefing team where one of the populations we worked with were engineers from "suicide trains". Some of these guys never got over it...particularly the ones who were unfortunate enough to make eye contact with the victim just before impact. Jezuz...I can't imagine...

Oh c'mon man. Entitlement riots? Looters/arsonists and public assistance recipients are pretty much mutually exclusive groups.

Sorry for outing you so quickly Was but don't you find the term "entitlement riots" to be a bit inflammatory?

Speculating on the corpse of a mentally deranged man who's unable to answer your spurious question is a new low pally.

And the purpose of this thread is?

Could it be to cast dispersion on black dudes in general with the idea that some of it will rub off on Michael Brown?

Nah!

Wasilladude would never do anything like that.

And to stoke racist paranoia. The idea that there could be black guys willing to sacrifice themselves 'to throw gasoline on the entitlement riots' really warps you away from reality, if you accept it into your head.

That someone thought that up and fed it to the OP is really creepy, actually.

Actually when I first heard about it, this is what came to my mind.

Well, they're getting bigger than just Ferguson, so I wasn't sure what to call them. St. Louis riots? The way the flames are being stoked, it's gonna be nation-wide here in a couple more days, so we'll be renaming it again.

I didn't realize the meme was already spoken for, referring to when our debt finally collapses all entitlements (that's gonna be fun).
I just thought it was a good descriptive name as it all seems to be about what people feel they're entitled to- cigarillos, walking down the middle of the street disrupting traffic, liquor, beef, cigarettes, attention, exemption from scrutiny, a boost in their media career, a boost in their political career, protection at the police command center while simultaneously bad-mouthing them to the world, etc.

I really need to get into the bunker building business for folks just like you Was. All I need is a D10 dozer and a steady supply of steel shipping containers and some steel culvert material. I could get rich.
