Its all about permissive environment and they know it. Their leaders and organizers know it too. Everyone knows that only democrat rule creates such permissive environments.Fact: All of these protests and riots and looters are taking place in Democrat controlled cities. Hell, other than Dallas you could say Democrat states. Has anyone focused on that yet?
This is not as wide spread as it looks, nor as final. It's a dozen of big cities out of a huge ass country. Don't get me wrong, this is still a massive protest but it's not as solid as it looks. It's mostly looking and riots, people mad from isolation sorta snapping as well. The actual politically motivated stuff is isolated, and mostly salty commies and Antifa fags trying to start a Bogaloo they would lose.
Restricted gun ownership and self defense, in state or failing that at least in city limits, police ordered to stand down and not crack down on rioting, soft on crime laws and justice administration politically selected to go easy on the rioters who do get caught.
If they made a mistake and tried doing the same in a wrong kind of place it would end very quickly and in tears.
