Not a riot
-
The rioters destroy their own neighborhoods, rob their local businesses, create a lawless environment for everyone, and then will wonder why businesses close, leave the neighborhood, and never come back.
There will be future Economic Development initiatives in the neighborhood to bring back business and jobs, to repair or rebuild entire city blocks, using taxpayer funding to incent the programs. This destruction/rebuild sequence gets mighty expensive.

Racism is gone.
There is no more racism in this country.
There are, of course, people who make judgments based on race, but the number is so low it is not worth counting.
The media coverage of racism in this country is about exactly what it was 30 or 40 years ago and it will never, ever change.
The virtuous politician's talk about racism in this country is about exactly what it was 30 or 40 years ago and it will never, ever change.

The Mayor of Minneapolis gets it. It's the fault of white supremacists (and maybe THE RUSSIANS!):
Actually, my nephew the cop is friends with a cop in Minnesooota...He said his friend told him there were outside people helping to instigate the rioting and they were using cellphones to organise waves of mayhem.
Wonder who's paying them?...

Nope.
From the same article:
"Speaking Saturday, Minneapolis police spokesman John Elder, however, said that sometimes people arrested will provide false information. He says background checks are showing some people arrested have records from other areas."Interesting that there are any people from other states coming here to be in riots. I don't usually think of that as being a good guest.

Isn’t Antifa like... all white guys?
Go watch some of the videos. More and more of the violence is by whites.
