You and I know that people who did actual rioting and/or destruction in those cities were arrested, tried, and sent to prison. Again and again, people on the other side act as though they were allowed to get away with it. They were not.
Of course, we also know that many of those who did the actual destruction turned out to be right-wing extremists. Maybe we need to document and publicize these facts.
