The wonder bread riots of 2020

The book “The Great Riots of New York” by John Headley “Chapter VII: Flour Riots of 1837” documents the occurrence of new yorkers who had little to no food. to make matters worse merchants are now pulling illegal moves on flour taxing it up over 10 dollars so they can make a profit of the already suffering.The people then came together and decided that the only way to fight this to riot and steal the flour.this was only caused because they are being ripped off by merchants who only cared for they own greedy interest. Also the fact that the police were no help in the situation because they seemed to favored the ones with power that being the merchants.not one of them questioned or seemed to take interest in the needs of the working class.So its understandable why the rioters did what they did.they knew that no one would be giving them justice so they took it upon themselves to do it.yes they werent right to destroy building but yes they have the right to adjust there anger at those who are committing wrong doing
