destruction of private property including small businesses, vehicles, apartment complexes, and the obstruction of traffic isn't a right reserved by anyone. It's common sense that those riots are way more despicable than the irrelevant destruction of government furniture and windows. ONE retired air force shows up with zip ties capable of being cut by a pair of scissors and you call that an attempted hostage situation? By that logic one trashcan being lit on fire by anti-trump protests is an indicator that they're trying to burn the entire city down. I agree that republican officials encouraging the raid is worth resenting but you're seriously exaggerating the fuck out of the entire situation.
