It won't because these aren't protestors.  They are scumbags that are taking advantage of a horrible situation.

PEACEFUL protesting is absolutely fine.  By the way, blocking a road from people getting to work or doing their business is not a peaceful protest by my definition.

They brought the National Guard in so hopefully they get shit straight.  I agree 100000000000000%.  Come down with that iron fist, maybe that is why WE are not in charge of anything.

I was watching the governor's press conference this morning and they seem to be very concerned of what damage has been done and how this may lead to yet another spread of the virus.  He was very clear how the case against the police that were involved can't be the focus until the violence ends.  Hopefully that thought will help sway many protesters to calm down, so just can be restored.

I tried listening to him until I heard "As a white man I cannot..."  Turn it off or throw my phone were the only 2 options at that point.

Edit: I amend the word protesters. They aren’t the ones doing it. It’s the anarchists using the protests for cover.

Its all around here too.  Even the towns that aren't too big, like 20k population have looting and all businesses got shut down.  Even Walmart, the kung flu couldn't shut Walmart down but I guess these riots did.

Just heard from my sister that her neighbor called her saying people are breaking into house and driving by throwing rocks through people's windows in her area.

I honestly don't understand why more people aren't defending their homes and businesses.  I thought Americans had a shit ton of guns?
