Why clean up? The rioters will be back nationwide. Wait until someone stops them, then clean up.

This was fully orchestrated.

Shut down the economy? I reckon that too much winning does have a following. Fake flu and peaceful protests with fake news telling how it is.
Too much free stuff too much time too little brains.

Why bother cleaning it up when the next night the cops arent shooting the rioters, and they are standing around letting them go apesh*t?

“This wasn’t even the reason for us protesting,” Black added. “We were protesting for police brutality. What did DTLR and Tropical Smoothie and all these stores have to do with that? Nothing!”

Wake up lady.
It’s all about shops like Tropical Smoothie. It’s about capitalism.
