This is the dirty tricks that the uneducated play sucker to:

On TV some religious pastor, was saying he believed in protest but not the violence the left wing does in these protests.(of course the RW would not put their followers in the protest to cause trouble.right?) .the violence is produced by paid individuals to start problems in a liberal oriented protest-you see what lack of critical thinking does ? No wonder Trump likes the uneducated..

As you note, most likely by right-wingers or apolitical sh*t-stirrers and self-interested looters. Organizers always instruct everyone to be peaceful and careful to avoid damaging anything.

Right-winger protests? J6 resulted in what, 1500+ people convicted of crimes, many including violence and destruction and theft. By far the most violent and lawless protests in ages, and of course it was right wing.

At left wing protests, most of the violence is by right-wing counter-protesters and police doing things like pepper-spraying people sitting on sidewalks not hurting anyone.
