Many feel they need to vandalize businesses, disrupt political rallies, taunt and shout vulgarities at police while holding their iPhone hoping they can push one or two past their breaking point and lately, ambushing and murdering the very police who are protecting what is supposed to be a peaceful assembly.
Why? I suppose some believe that by behaving this way they will earn the love and respect they deserve. In other words, "The floggings will continue..."
