Reminds me of the Floyd protests last year.

This is much worse to be honest. It it alleged that some cops even took part in the looting.

Its a warzone you have vigilantes with guns clashing with looters. Usa with antifa and blm they were given free rein to do whatever they want while people who tried to defend their businesses got beaten up if not killed.

I remember years ago how South Africans burnt alive an African immigrant man I think he was Nigerian. They protested against immigrants which led to an orgy of violence against them.

That was one of the worst things I watched in my life not to mention how it spread on facebook and twitter.
