Weekend Protest - Yay! (Looting - No!)

[rachel83az]

I think some are opportunistic; if you're going to get arrested anyway, you might as well try getting something monetary out of it. Some are fed up with being locked inside and are taking their rage out in arguably less harmful ways (better looting a store than getting into a physical altercation). And then there are the instigators. I think there are some from each faction, so to speak, so it's hard to tell who's in the wrong because everyone is in the wrong.

But I saw an article that said that of the approximately 3000 people arrested in Los Angeles, at least 2500 of them were arrested for minor things and not rioting or looting.

I hope everyone here in the US is able to stay safe.
