[AUDIO] Can a Riot be Justifiable?
Spencer Giel
19 April 2017
Political riots: are they a legitimate method for the people to express their discontent, or too chaotic and uncontrollable to be deemed effective? On one hand, they can draw attention to the important political issues that might otherwise not receive appropriate media coverage or public attention. On the other hand, they often result in the destruction of property and serious injuries to the police and public alike. When a demonstration turns violent, can the violence ever be justified?
David Edmonds ofPhilosophy 24/7speaks with Avia Pasternak about whether "The Just Riot" is possible in this podcast.

Riot is justifiable if the如果暴动者的目的是为了争取自由、正义和平等，那么暴动就是正当的。为了获得正义，暴力有时是必要的。当涉及到被压迫者的诉求时，暴君大多数时候是充耳不闻的。因此，虽然不理想，但有时为了表达自己的声音，暴动是不可避免的。历史上也有像法国大革命那样的暴动，最终导致了全面的革命。
