Some of the destruction wasn't hoodlums. It was organized, partly by outsiders with inside connections. Such as the "auto zone umbrella man" with the gas mask - his identity hasn't been confirmed (though some OTHER organized outsiders are intentionally creating suspicion about one particular person), but he was not recognized by people in the area.

There are also accusations that it is the black community exclusively involved in the looting and destruction. It isn't. There are absolutely confirmed Antifa folks - who were asked BY the black community to stay out of it, and they refused to stay out of it.

There are also white supremacists involved doing it on purpose to ensure that the black community gets blamed for it.

And yes there are also folks in the black community doing this.

You attack a segment of the population, then encourage that segment to fight back and even HELP them be violent - and you're going to end up with violence. No matter who is the segment being attacked.

Kent State, the destruction of Black Wall Street, the rioting in Charlotte, NC, the lynchings in Alabama - all spurred by people who encouraged other people to lash out against their enemy, whether real or merely perceived. The ones who goaded the rioters and looters to riot and loot - the ones who KNEW that a group of people were angry and upset and on the edge - and then tipped them over the edge on purpose into violence.

THOSE are the people who have started all the looting and destruction in Minneapolis.

You don't p*s* people off, and then hand them a lit match. But that's exactly what is happening now.
