I grew up on Long Island during the 1960s when economic riots and burnings/lootings were rampant from Harlem & Newark, to Detroit and on to Watts (Los Angeles), not counting the 1968 Dem convention riots in Chicago.

While Americans were horrified, they mostly went about their life as if those situations were a movie. Except for the damage to the inner cities, most people didn't care.

If (when) the potential political riots come to suburbia, then people will wake up...too late.
