No but money is a sure incentive to do so for the weak in character.

Stupid social media is behind the riots. Welcome to the age where people can collect like insects via digital faramones,

I haven't seen any burning and looting. Some people were burning their own private property on a cement sidewalk. I haven't seen anyone looting. Where is there looting? Are you just making this up?

There are protests. Chanting and shouting. Signs. Someone burned the flag or something on a cement sidewalk. There was absolutely no looting or destruction of property.

And most of the protesters were laughing and smiling, and mugging for the camera, they're not angry about Trump. This is to just cause chaos.

There may be some who wanted to seriously protest, but stuff like explodes on social media and the clueless show up to take selfies, post on FB where they are, and just stir the pot. The ones I saw looked under 21.

South of here in Santa Ana it got really bad. Tear gas was used to disperse the crowd.

Maybe you were in bed already, I think you're in the Midwest.
Not what I saw on the news. Do you have a cite for that? I think you guys are making some of this stuff up.

Hillary is related by marriage (Chelsea's) to Soros so she is not far removed even besides that connection.

Do you just not read or listen to the news?

Moveon.Org raising funds from Trump protests, warns more disruptions to come - Washington Times

Soros funded the burning down of Ferguson, Baltimore, and now this.

Brutal attacks on whites are occurring by packs, even one old man was dragged through the streets. Is beating assumed Trump supporters nearly to death what you consider a "grand old American tradition?"

Some of them might have been semi serious.

Rioting and looting is a grand old American tradition that crossed all ethnicities. A picture is worth a thousand words.

Rioting: An American Tradition : We're History

Why assume there is one grand master organizer?

Some of the worst looting in modern times occurred throughout occupied Europe as the fine Christian towns people looted the homes and graveyards of the Jewish population. Go figure, eh.

Making it up? Go sell crazy someplace else.

Yes, having lived through the 1992 riots here I want to go through that again.

We were under Martial Law for 5 days, you were in your house at dusk.

Actually the Clinton's aren't related to Soros, but he did attend their wedding and Soros daughter did put them up up at their Estate over the weekend of the Ceremony.

Where and how would your people be living if it wasn't for our "redneck" tax payers?

I am hoping that President Trump puts welfare reform at the top of his plans.
.
The majority of people on the snap program are not black so you can save your misinformation for someone else. Actually California (we did the right thing) pays more into the federal government than we receive in return. If Trump puts welfare reform at the top of his list he'll be hurting his own supports in middle America...

Yes, I went there...
