Yeah, I get it. "They" are "stupid", "violent" etc. I don't believe that most protesters are either of those. Some of the violence is coming from agitators, criminals and thugs. A few protesters get caught up in the heat of protesting. A few protesters get an adrenaline rush joining in on looting. I've seem protesters chasing off these bad people and protecting people and property.

I'm not defending anyone and I do see the violence as deplorable behavior. I also see the pain.

I don't have any statistics to support my opinions and I could be wrong. Just my observation.
