Was it? All of this because of one post on an internet board? Do you want some outside group coming in to "clean up" your town? Maybe there's a lot more to this.
That depends - can I get some new Nikes out of the deal?
By the way - outside groups are influencing my and your towns every single minute of every day, with tax laws, hiring requirements, education requirements etc etc. Can I trade that influence for a couple of jokers having a parade down my street - please? Just because I don't like it does not give me the right to riot.
The rally was legal. The rioting was illegal - on numerous points. Excuse making won't fix it.
There certainly is more to this story. Let's hope all crimes and conspiracies are thoroughly investigated.
Hey - come to think of it - when I lived in LA a group from outside my neighborhood did come through to "clean it up" and rob every store they could get into. Thanks for reminding me. As I remember it - they did not have a permit, and I didn't like it. Is that the type of group you are thinking of?
There is a difference between protected speach and looting.
Hey Look - Let's All Riot!!!!!!

If only I lived in DC I could get some booze out of a local bar. (I'm not dumb enough to burn down my own local bar.) That would be OK - right?
Maybe its not too late - I could still drive to DC ...
