In Reply to: The protest just turned into the idiotic destruction of their own neighborhoods.... posted by Rod M on May 27, 2020 at 19:26:46:
Unsurprisingly I don't see it the way you do. Obviously the looting and burning of those businesses is inexcusably wrong. But to state that the protestors are also participating in those behaviors isn't necessarily correct. "They", as you put it, have the right to protest. Some of those people are doing nothing more than that. There are others who take advantage of a situation like this as an opportunity for theft and worse. Those people are wrong and should be treated as criminals. But assuming that all the protestors are burning down "their" neighborhood is wrong. Seeing any group of people as a monolithic mass all behaving the same is wrong.
