Personally, I'm not convinced that they are and most of the destruction is result of WHITE MAGA provocateurs that we'll find out about eventually.

(1,159 posts)People who protest are called protestors. People who riot are called rioters. People who loot are called looters. Can a protestor become a rioter? Sure. Can a rioter become a looter? Sure. Right wingers want the public to conflate protestors, rioters and looters as though they are all the same. Let's not.
Frankly, there has been plenty of evidence that provocateurs have been organized for the sole purpose of turning peaceful protests into rioting and looting. Let's not reward them.
