Not too keen on the politics of all this; I'm just gonna break in to say, please spare a thought for those of us who are living through this right now. I'm close enough to the fighting in my city to literally hear it, and we're subject to a curfew. Fortunately there has been no fighting on my city block. Two people were beaten to near death along the route I used to walk to work - including a man in a wheelchair. I hope those scum are proud of themselves [sarc].
Looters have destroyed stores about a mile from my home AND in my old neighborhood from when I lived on the East coast. I made a run for groceries a couple days ago and felt a true sense of fear (and I'm a pretty big guy). I got home safely, unlike some other people.
At this point I'm sick of both the police brutality+racism and the rioters who are using the situation to prey on innocent businesses/residents. If your politics make beating up a guy in a wheelchair seem like a righteous, rational act then I'm afraid I can't agree with you. Whether you're pro-Anti Trump/Republican/Democrat/Socialist/Libertarian/whatever.
