Maybe it's just where I am right now but being a family provider and seeing those burning cars for the cause of a first-worlder's idea of rebellion is just painful to watch.

I drive a basic vehicle but I try to take care of it as much as I can because a I and my family use it everyday and rely on it heavily for our daily living.

It bothers me that I cannot get it serviced at the correct intervals, have the deep scratches repaired before they start to rust, replace the tires that are already 4 years old and attend to all the little details that would extend the life of the car and make it look a bit more presentable.

And here I see expensive cars, cars I could not even dream of buying, being purposely burnt just to "send a message" to the CEO of the car's manufacturer.

It is such a silly waste, such a decadent display.
