That book was written in 2014. How is that going to give insight into how misinformation regarding Jacob Blake contributed to the Kenosha riots?

Because riots don't spring from nowhere and you need to actually know some American history to understand where they come from. Reading is good for you and I encourage it.

The question at hand isn't a general one about the history of riots. It's specifically about how misinformation regarding Jacob Blake contributed to the Kenosha riots. Getting snarky isn't helping your case here.

Read the book. It clarifies that riots are not caused by misinformation but other factors.

Well, that's incredibly vague. You've totally convinced me.

Again, if you want to understand things like riots -- which are not uncommon in American history -- reading the history is very helpful. I'm sorry if I can't supply the soundbites you want, but knowledge takes a little effort. But it's worth it.

You haven't supplied anything other to say the answers are in the book you're pushing. But you haven't mentioned what those answers are, other than to say it's "other factors", not misinformation.

Because those other factors are complex & deeply rooted in history. So you need to make an effort. Sorry not everything is a simple Jesse Signal soundbite like "The Nation articles caused the riot."

Consider an alternate world, with all factors the same except that Jacob Blake incident was reported accurately from the very beginning. Namely that he was armed with a knife, had already been tased, and was attempting to drive off with his kids. Do Kenosha riots still happen?

History is more valid than counterfactuals.
