People who wantonly steal and destroy the property of their neighbors deserve to get shot. The fact that their government sucks and the cops suck does not in the slightest absolve them for violating the rights of innocent people.
The huge and unsupported jump in UWDude's "argument" is that bad government justifies ignoring EVERYONE'S rights. It doesn't.
Furthermore, the idea that any significant percentage of these rioters are actually motivated politically is not evident from what I have seen. On the contrary, they appear to be taking advantage of a mob situation to have a looting party.
