@DMAC IMO, I think most of the looters, rioters, and violence comes from two main sources, antifa and BLM. BLM could have been a very good thing for this movement. They are not. Antifa, a bunch of young, white anarchists, have basically attempted to hijack what began as a very legitimate movement.
Protesting the death of George Floyd is an upstanding position to take in response to what happened. Destroying the lives of innocent people, destroying business (i.e. the local economy) – is affecting the WRONG people.
The original protestors and many of those who have continued to protest are in it for the right reasons, behaving as respectable adults, and getting their message out.
A former football player here, Caleb Bluitt, is on my FB friends list. I saw a post he made the other day showing him marching in a protest. I applauded him in a comment but warned him about the Antifa folks taking over their moment. lol He said he would "pick them up and throw them over the fence" if he saw one lol
You gotta love that guy.
