If an individual is found unconscious and bleeding on the living room rug after a knife attack, he is not castigated for ruining the rug, he is not blamed for, nor is he punished in order to "learn a lesson." If a society (be it a racial minority group, or students, or a laboring group, or whatever) bleeds in the form of a riot or destructive action, there is a tendency to blame the social body for bleeding or to call the bleeding "unprovoked."
