I'd like to see sources on this. The only thing I've seen is some truckers/protestors walking into a restaraunt unmasked and demanding to be served.

That’s it? That many people are there and this is the rampant violence? Lol. This is tame as hell. We’re you clutching your pearls this much during the violent BLM protests where people actually died and buildings burned to the ground with bodies later found inside?
The arson seems to be a hoax: https://twitter.com/jonkay/status/1490741074066825225

There's also another supposed hate hoax: https://twitter.com/jonkay/status/1490439304224686082

The fact that such a "violent" protest requires so many hoaxes to justify the characterization should help you triangulate the truth.
