I am an old person and I have seen this story before.. and those who loot, and resort to violence have nothing and I mean nothing to do with the issues involved in protest.

So with that said.. same is true for the jackasses throwing rocks and destroying everything around them for entertainment.. they are not protesters , but their actions will be used to attack lawful protests.. Of that you are correct. Between you and me, I am convinced that some are agents of the other side trying to gin up confrontation..
