Having watched quite a bit of the live streams and other sources, I’d submit that arrest records might be a poor guide to where troublemakers are from. Professional troublemakers often know how to avoid arrest. One also has to differentiate between the stirrers and the stirred up. In the context of who’s inflaming the overall situation, I put (for example) an emotional woman who steps back into the street one more time than the cops have patience for, pretty low, and the (commie?) guy manipulating the crowd or someone actually attacking police very high.
Finally, once one gets beyond the city limits, “outsiders” or “locals” as a function of distance or inclusion within a large metropolitan area gets very fuzzy. The next-to-next suburb over might be considered an extension of one’s own, or it might be considered somewhat more alien than Mars.
Or an emotional man - didn’t want to stereotype - was just picking an actual example. :-)
So you're suggesting those being arrested are just too stupid too avoid arrest? I bet they need more riot training regarding the fine points of evading arrest. I guess the cops there are also just too stupid to ID those professional rioters Paul.
What a knee slapper!
