Rioting and looting over the death of a drug addict who OD is wrong, but when push comes to shove when a government tries to act tyrannical and tries to either become a communist (or Fascist) nation and try to disregard basic human rights, tensions will predictably flare and sometimes it'll comes to blows if the situation calls for it.
Take that as you will I just thought it was interesting what's going on in France right now, it could spread to the US, but who knows.
- "Systemic police violence against people of color = no permissable vandalism in response"
- "Availability of a voluntary vaccine, in the middle of a deadly pandemic, that has been demonstrated to be safe and effective = permissable vandalism in response"
And for the record, I'm not arguing vandalism is permissible in either case.
