p>Businesses were also vandalized by the group of rioters
The mayor of Olympia, Washington, expressed support for the Black Lives Matter cause, but when her own home was vandalized, she called it similar to "domestic terrorism."
Mayor Cheryl Selby made the comments after her home was vandalized on Friday with Black Lives Matter graffiti though she already displayed support for the movement.
"I'm really trying to process this," the mayor said Saturday to the Olympian. "It's like domestic terrorism. It's unfair."
The vandalism was a part of a protest that turned to rioting in downtown Olympia. Businesses were vandalized with spray paint, flags were burned, and windows were smashed. Then they marched into Selby's neighborhood.
Surveillance video shows one black-clad rioter, who appears to be white, spray-painting "BLM," "racist," and "abolish" on her home.
"It hurts when you're giving so much to your community," she said.
Selby and her family were not home, but her neighbors began texting her when the protesters arrived at her house.
Selby, who is white, had previously issued a statement in support of peaceful protests that criticized police for the May 25 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
"Every day since his murder, our country has shaken. Convulsing between fear, rage, and nausea. We should feel sick. Those of us who hold the most microphones in our communities should feel nauseous," she said.
"Let me be clear," she concluded, "the city of Olympia supports the peaceful protests that highlight the racial injustices black people continue to endure at the hands of police in the United States."

Experience is a dear school, but a fool will learn no other way.
Welcome to the club.
What is that about conservatives are liberals who have been mugged?
It is absolutely fair.
When you support people who destroy other people’s property, you have no right to complain when they destroy your property.
We are blessed that our enemies are so crazy they attack their own allies.
It reminds me of the Hitler-Stalin pact. When they finally turned on each other it was a total bloodbath.

She had a rainbow flag and a BLM plackard stuck in the window, but to no avail. And she complains that “its unfair!!” This is gold Jerry, gold!!!
Trump lets black criminals out of prison, lowers black unemployment to lowest level in decades, and it is not good enough.
Suffer Biotch.
LOL... rioting, vandalism, looting is justified protest until it’s against you.
So, even if they burned down her home, do you think her socialist mind set will change? Nope.
Even in the face of such vandalism by the anarchist group she supports, she is "conflicted." The stupid is strong in this one.
It happens but not every time.
"I'm really trying to process this," the mayor said Saturday to the Olympian. "It's like domestic terrorism. It's unfair."
Who's the nihilist now, crybaby? /ripoff
One word...Schadenfreude.
