Hello everyone and welcome to my blog! My name is Oscar Bermejo and I'm currently a student who is currently enrolled at LaGuardia Community College. This semester one of the class I currently enrolled in is Violence in American Art and Culture or better known at the college as ENN195, who is currently being taught by the professor Dr. Justin Rogers-Cooper this semester. In this class the themes we will be looking into are violence that happen through American History and the changes that took place when these sorts of act of violence occurred. 

      The other day in class we had a discussion about when is Violence ever justified or is the answer? I think that the only time that violence is the answer or is justified is when their is millions of people that are in the same conditions as you are and the government are just not doing anything about it to solve the problem or trying to ease it.Some of these conditions could be not having work, watching your family starving to point were they unable to move or slowly moving toward their deaths, or even when the elites are taking advantage of the lower class. Also if the government are turning their backs away toward the people that need the help the most and are summoning police,militia, private police or even the army to push these people away, to hurt them or even killing them in order to keep "control" of the situation , there differently need to be a change of government and this the time I think that violence is the answer if everything has failed and the people that are suffering have tried peacefully to solve the problem but haven't got anything from the government except neglected, the people have the right to riot.When do you think that riot suddenly becomes the last resort in your mind that you have to participate in order to see change for a better life in society? When people form a riot , do you think everyone is on the same page or are there mis-communication in what they are rioting for?
