You are probably right about some drug connection.

One thing for sure, the suspect is not described as a ‘white guy driving a pickup truck flying Confederate flags’.

If he had been, this would be a worldwide news story by now.

“I could drive downtown and find 20 of him in 5 minutes!”

Or, more likely, they’d find you...

This is what happens when the police do not do their jobs and keep streets and roads open.
The police’s duty is to the law abiding citizens, not riffraff blocking a citizens lawful right of passage.

I’m a bit torn here, between calling the rotestors “vandals” for breaking windows or “public servants” for burning the Starbucks.

Where I live they mostly prey on each other. Generally, it’s very possible outside victims may have superior fire power.
