In the same location all night?
I thought I read that they would get out of the cars, loot, and then take off.
That sounds like random fast strikes, even if it happens over several hours.
They did not fear the police, because the Mayor wanted the riots. They practiced catch and release, except those who were charged with Federal crimes. THEN they got a little sober when they realized they might do some serious prison time. Soros money is bad bargain if that is the penalty.
