Yup -- no doubt there are antagonists from all along the political spectrum happy to create chaos.
And what they count on is folks blindly and naively thinking it is just one side.
Keep in mind that a lot of it has nothing to do with "sides". Setting aside the legitimate protesters, the remaining group is going to be a hodge-podge of folks with many that don't really care that much other than it's fun and they can grab some free stuff.
The walmart that got ransacked lost about 100k in merch to 200 people, or about $500 each. That's not left or right, that's just Christmas in July.
If the guy is a white supremacist, who is engaging in destruction of property and looting, he won't get any sympathy form me, or I would assume, from 99.9% of anyone who supports Trump either.
I have seen video of rioting, to include looting and property damage, in Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Grand Rapids (really!), Minneapolis, New York, Oakland, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, Providence, Sacramento, Saint Louis, Santa Monica, Seattle, and Washington. And those are just off the top of my head; I imagine there were plenty more. You are either uninformed, or you are purposely downplaying the significant violent social unrest that has been going on across the country.
“Vandalizing our downtown gives Donald Trump the images he wants and the justification he seeks to send federal troops into American cities,” said Schaaf per the Daily Wire.
“We can’t be fooled and play into his twisted campaign strategy. We celebrate passionate protests but Oaklanders need to know that when they attend protests after dark they may be providing cover for agitators who are more intent on stoking than advancing racial justice,” she continued.
Yup, the antifa and BLM thugs were all peaceful and stuff, and then Trump's minions put weapons in their hands, and convinced them to riot and break things.
YHup, it's all Trump's fault.
What a ditz.
