Like many or most here, I despise and decry this rotten campaign of crime and destruction being funded and conducted by clever and evil people who can hide behind their money and status. At the same time, I too hope that the Pres does not send US Mil troops in to deal directly with the urban (mostly) looters and burners - primarily because the emotional, irrational and leftist politically manipulated reactions - as well as the orchestrated big media narrative - could outweigh the overall good to be done by saving some businesses/buildings/etc..
It is clear that some local mayors who maintain control over their policing are playing nasty political games for their own benefit - at high cost to some good folks and their businesses - and that some governors of the same political stripe are supporting the charade. We are witnessing very dastardly behavior by those folks and their pawns. The miscreants are on a self-serving roll, but before long will run out of easy, vulnerable venues where they have relative safety from the heavy responses they deserve - and then will not be able to take their crimes into new areas due to forces that will take them down.
The current incivility, lawlessness and moral breakdown are saddening in many ways - threatening as well and the losses are severe - so it is difficult for good folks to remain thoughtful and patient. But, those who plan, manage, conduct and support the bad behavior in those localities must be made to own it, swallow it and pay the price for their actions - locally.
