The Governor's shutdown hasn't helped the inner city here, which has shed businesses for many years under Party rule. High fees make it difficult for small businesses, and systemic changes in manufacturing & imports got rid of a lot of jobs.
If you actually read Marx, not just been indoctrinated, and paid ANY attention to the results of Revolution, with the notable exception of the United States, it's all about changing the Master Class.
Everything else is lies to give power to those who want it, those who want to be the New Aristocracy.
Never, ever, except the American Revolution, have The People not been the victims of The New Rulers.
Basically it's all a scam to replace the old guys with New Guys, and the New Guys, whose power is unearned and stolen, have zero interest in paying back the society that gave them the chance to rise.
When the riots flare up these next 3 months, know there's nothing spontaneous or natural about them. It is on the orders of, and paid for by rich ( mostly white, mostly men ) and with support from the Communist Chinese Party and Czar Vladimir the first.
And if the other side doesn’t fold in 2020, Ellison warned in a recent radio interview: “Next time the uprising and social disruption may be even worse.”
The riots are Campaigning.
2020, the Year of the Democrat Campaign Lie.
And if they don't win, they'll riot & sue until they do.
"I had a gun waved in my face by them but trespassing is what matters?”
Yes, . You were being aggressive and confrontational on their property. You’re lucky they shrugged off the death threats and the promises to steal everything they owned and refrained from shooting you.

Like others here, I fear & predict that some mob will get shot up by a terrified intended victim, and that will be used as an excuse...
And I say that as a melee combat student that understands the only way to prevent being beaten ( or killed ) is to run, ( see 17 year old survivor & his narrow escape ) or brutally demolish enough attackers to scare a howling mob away when their blood is up. In the real world for all of history, that means piles of bleeding bodies and a slim chance of survival. It can be done, but it's rare enough that tales of such things are noteworthy. ( far outnumbered by easily forgettable bare accounts of folk found dead with no witnesses to their last horrific moments )
And mindset of the Mob makes a "successful" ( meaning going to trial for murder ) defense even less likely. They are riding a wave of adrenaline and invincibility. They are protected from harm or responsibility or consequences by rich sponsors ( like the Dem Veep candidate's fund raiser ) and Dem Mayors. ( a major RICO violation? ) So you'd have to be utterly "disproportionate" in violence to break their will & make them run. Not a happy thought.
I’m guessing the county is overwhelmingly democrat, and a bunch of them registered as republicans and voted for him to ensure that the incumbent wins the election. Dirty? Yeah. Unexpected from the left? No.

He-she is absolutely correct though. The system is broken. A system that allows you to continually change your voter registration to rig/game an election is broken, and that needs to be highlighted.
Imagine what will happen if those protesters will have access to nuclear weapon. Engineered virus.
Definitely hyperbole.
But who needs nukes? You've got a fire hazard/attractive nuisance just waiting to be used. It's not the method for New York or Michigan, but annual forest fire conditions ( well understood ) and eco-stupid forestry management makes the West coast an easy mass casualty opportunity.
The Japanese balloon bomb incendiary attacks were actually a success from a dollar spent per damage done perspective. The U.S. made them super-don't -publish-secret to discourage the continuation of the fire setting gizmos. But the TARGET was lumber.
The 21st century reality is terrorism strikes soft targets & goes for mass casualties for psych reasons. Bedroom communities seem to qualify.
