You can't just lecture the poor that they shouldn't riot or go to extremes. You have to make the means of legal redress available.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of addressing the underlying grievances of the poor instead of simply admonishing them for their actions. It suggests that trying to suppress or discourage their frustrations is inadequate. Instead, the focus should be on providing the poor with accessible and fair avenues for seeking justice. By ensuring that legal redress is within reach for all, individuals are more likely to find peaceful and lawful ways to voice their concerns and express their discontent, reducing the likelihood of resorting to extreme measures like rioting.
