Just curious if you have much experience with American cities. I am regularly in or near NYC, Newark, Paterson and live in Dover NJ. There is not strategy to rain destruction on cities. A few cities did have prolonged periods of rioting. Most did not. Riots are not new in America and should be understood as expressing something real. So it is that we cannot but understand that African Americans are upset - at least some are. By the way, even the Jan 6 riot is an expression or real upset. And re Kenosha - surely those who protest and riot are stirred up. But stirring up is something that also is part of legitimate political life - so folks like Al Sharpton have led chants of no justice, no peace.
