L. Ron Hubbard on Riots

With riots going on in France I checked out what L. Ron Hubbard wrote about riots. I found a very interesting essay on the subject, written in 1969 at the hight of the American anti-war movement, when students and African-Americans were rioting in major cities around the US.

I think this is every bit as appropriate today as it was then:

Riots are not always caused by economic deprivation.

The bulk of American riots are caused by injustice.

Only the wealthy can afford justice. It may say there must be justice in the Constitution but it can only be obtained in upper courts.

The little fellow doesn’t have a hundred thousand dollars to fight the unjust actions of those in power.

Until there is justice for the little people, not just for the rich, there will be riots. And these riots can easily swell into complete raw red revolution.

The full article can be read online. It is part of the magazine "L. Ron Hubbard: the Freedom Fighter"

With everything that L. Ron Hubbard did in his extraordinary lifetime, I think that it was his love of freedom and insistance on it for all of us that made him so very exceptional.
