    it takes a particular type of person though to be a capitalist. A 2010 study found that 4 percent of a sample of corporate managers met a clinical threshold for being labeled psychopaths, compared with 1 percent for the population at large.

    That's true. The best capitalists are moral and ethical degenerates who would be executed in a world with laws.

    Amazing generalization.

    Would you make the same based off statistics that state blacks are more violent? Mexicans are less educated? Because such statistics do exist....

    Why is it ok to be bigoted towards one group but not another?

    If you trash talk a minority you're racist, if you trash wall street, capitalists you're a hero.

    Which is why Wall Street goes unchecked even though there are claims that it doesn't

    Don't try to change the goal posts now.

    I asked you a question....

    Why is it ok to discriminate against one group and not the other? I know skin color matters to you, to me it does not. A group of people is a group of people.

    So I ask again, why is it ok for you to be such an obvious bigot with this group?

    Looters are profiting from police inertia in Ferguson.

    Vigilantes are making their presence felt.

    Let's just read the FACTS about domestic use of tear gas

    The latest exception: “Riot Control Agents”

    Riot control agents including tear gas and pepper spray are banned in international warfare under both the 1925 Geneva Protocol and the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). The CWC defines chemical weapons as “munitions and devices that are designed to cause death or other harm through toxic chemicals” that lead to “death, temporary incapacitation or permanent harm to humans or animals.” While tear gas and pepper spray, under international law, are banned as a “method of warfare”, there are no restrictions to their domestic use as a “riot control agent.” According to the CWC, “riot control agents” are any chemicals which are not specifically listed in their list of prohibited chemicals and that can cause in humans rapid “sensory irritation or disabling physical effects which disappear within a short time following termination of exposure.” Under Article II Section 9 of the CWC, the use of such chemicals for “law enforcement including domestic riot control purposes” is not prohibited under the Convention.
