A terribly flawed analogy if I've ever read one.

EJ, the fact of life is that we have to deal with how people
actually behave, not how we would have them behave. It does no
good to, for example, rage against the Rodney King rioters after
you allow the LAPD to, for decades, get away with beating on
people of color, then move the trial of a group of conspicuously
guilty ones out to a white suburb, and acquit them.

If, as the more powerful group, you do all the things that create
interracial rage, you don't get to go 'tut tut tut' when, as
surely as night follows day, that rage gets expressed in awful
and even unjust (by your rules) ways.

So whatever side you come down on regarding Mr. Bell's behavior
or his guilt or innocent, you've failed miserably if you don't
take a hard look at the conditions set up by those in power which
contribute to the creation of angry young men.
