And they were rioting in Denver last night. Destroying property, blocking traffic, shots fired....it's spreading like a virus.

Not to mention they aren't localized, it's happening all over the country.

Good thing it's "less intense than last time". Rule. Of. Law. Fuck the cop that killed that dude, but that DOES NOT justify the rest.

And you have famous black people on social media ADVOCATING for violence.

The biggest problem is the huge amount of self proclaimed content influencers on the web fanning the flames.

Then they'll go to jail for that too.

Nah. Just people being people.

Well if they know who does it. I think this is a measured, targeted response so far. But we'll see what happens in the rest of the country
