7. Yes there's a group effort trying to disrupt

Same thing happened in Harrisburg yesterday. I'm sure the troublemakers in Minneapolis are coming in from somewhere else too. It didn't take much to get things going in Minneapolis, and now they're spreading it out to other cities. Something is happening in Chicago too but I haven't seen the news this morning so I don't know how bad it got last night. The mayors of big cities are saying that outsiders are causing the violence & looting.

In Pittsburgh we've had lots of peaceful protests over the years, and many have been anti-Trump for one reason or another. But the police have never gotten violent with anyone, and nobody ever started trouble. Now with this one, somebody is setting police cars on fire and others are vandalizing public buildings and statues. It's troublemakers and I hope they get caught. I live in a city neighborhood that's 50% black and 50% white, everyone here is peaceful and neighborly. I walk my dog and cut my grass, and the neighbors wave and say hello.
