Whoever is paying looters to subvert peaceful protests in American cities, they are doing a very effective job.
People who go to the protests consistently report that the protests are quite peaceful and respectful, but that doesn’t make for interesting news. What does make for interesting news is violence and disruption.
Some clever people have apparently figured out that if you pay a few people to go in, smash windows and burn down stores, you quickly get the attention of news reporters. That is so much more interesting as TV entertainment than all those boring citizens dutifully wearing their COVID masks and peaceably holding up signs calling for social justice.
It makes me sad to see evil people winning out over good people. It’s like watching the burning of the Reichstag all over again.
And we all know how that turned out.
