So the decision to bring charges has been made. I am glad it will go before a jury and people will get their day in court. This is how it should be resolved. The looters and rioters have only hurt their cause, their neighborhoods and reinforced unfortunate perceptions of the inner city minorities. A little patience for the system to take its course would have been in order. Even though it looks as though the authorities have decided there is sufficient evidence to charge, there was no excuse for the mayhem and destruction. All that came of it was the recognition that there is a greater number of potential criminals for the cameras to expose.
