Make no mistake. The protesting and rioting going on is because of the lockdown. It was like stockpiling a lot of lumber and gasoline. All it needed was someone to throw a match. This particular match was named George Floyd, but the leftists have a whole box of matches.
The lockdown created large groups of unemployed with free time and government pay. They don’t want to go back to work when they can get paid more to loot and destroy.
