Tuesday night LIVE thread covering the democrat sanctioned nationwide rioting, looting, burning, ransacking of their own democrat run cities

Most of the burning appeared to be done by a single individual throwing burning wood, paper or cloth into a building. These fires either appeared to go out on their own (AFL-CIO) and it was Sunday, and individual trash containers, or rather quickly with effort (church). I hate to think what would have happened if they were really trying to burn the buildings using arson tools like seems to have happened in Minneapolis. I am hoping to see what evidence develops regarding the suggestion that criminal elements had preplanned to use the peaceful protests for their own criminal ends. Today stores were shown that had valuable merchandise completely removed. A large grocery store showed its meat shelves looking like the toilet paper isles of 2 and 3 months ago. This was often in Georgetown which is a mile away from where the demonstrations near the White House have mostly been happening.

The action in front of the church started about 25 minutes before the 7pm curfew. One minute people were chatting, the next they were running and stumbling and white “smoke” was billowing around them. The next day a young reporter who said he was gassed there that day showed an OC, oleoresin capsicum canister he had picked up the day before for journalistic evidence. Here is info on OC vs tear gas: https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/grants/181655.pdf

I saw no overt violent acts before the people at the church were sent running. At other times, mostly quite late I saw one man dressed in black with a thick metal pipe smash in a large plate glass window, probably on 16th st. Another man I saw picked up a large piece of broken plywood that had been leaning against a burning trash container. He then went to a broken door and threw the burning board into the building. In both cases I did not see someone next to them helping or encouraging them. The “smoke” I saw was definitely being discharged around 6:35 by the church area.
Your item #2 does not say where on H St this occurred.
