No kidding, I couldn't get my head around the recentish riots at all - child killed; immigrant comes to others' aid; everyone starts rioting; supposedly anti-immigrant, but involves mainly attacking police and burning public infrastructure...

Not that I'd support that kind of political action anyway, but at least make some kind of sense, do correctly targeted rioting?

Great example, that was a really embarrassing moment for me to see.

The riots were just a reason for the scum to act out and do whatever they wanted, under the guise of something reasonable. Gaslighting on a physical scale.

Really good example of how the country overall has changed for the worse.
