"The limitation of riots, moral questions aside, is that they cannot win and their participants know it. Hence, rioting is not revolutionary but reactionary because it invites defeat. It involves an emotional catharsis, but it must be followed by a sense of futility."

Through violence you may murder a hater, but you can't murder hate through violence. Darkness cannot put out darkness; only light can do that."
