Gosh! What a turn of events indeed.
It's really hard to see people going insane like this and attacking other innocent people, looting and destroying everything they come across.
It's unbelievable to see such contradictions as well, when a week ago we could see so many people freaking out about a virus and asking everybody to stay home, and now they are in the streets (or encouraging people to go to the streets) as if the virus was never an issue. And I also think about all the people who were SO concerned about every single coronavirus death saying that we should be locked down to save every live, yet, they now seem so unconcerned by all the people who were hurt during these riots and maybe even killed (because some of the videos show such extreme violence that I think some people may have died due to what's happened). But we're not being told on a huge screen about this... so it shows how people's 'empathy' is manipulated to be directed towards who the media tells them to feel sorry about. Now, it's time to sympathize with the rioters, so their victims don't matter that much, it seems.
I know, some of them may be genuinely protesting, but those looters and violent people in the videos don't seem to care about humanity at all. And it's pretty clear that they aren't really protesting about George Floyd's death, they seem to be just taking advantage of it as an excuse to do whatever mess they want to do.
And with all the evidence showing how this violence is being promoted and fabricated to some extent, as many here I'm wondering what is the end goal of it all.
Yes, as others said, this seems to be distracting enough so that people won't protest about the lock downs, for example, or about some other real things they could be protesting about. Instead, this is creating a deeper divide among the people that makes them less capable of seeing their true enemies who may very well be the ones promoting the protests.
Another thing I thought about is that people are constantly being put in a state of shock and fear that one could expect them to freeze and to not be able to respond well because it's just so much happening that it's really hard to understand it in the midst of intense emotions and fear. If I get all worked up when I watch those videos, I can't imaging how this may be impacting the people who live close to where the protests are happening or those who see their country falling into such chaos. So there's an emotional impact, for sure, which might also be convenient if there's a plan to dumb people down and hinder their ability to think properly.
And yes, as others have also said, I believe Trump is indeed between a rock and hard place. He has to protect the decent people, he has to deescalate this, but that would also imply bringing much more police control to the streets and even the military, perhaps.
It's almost as if they're forcing generally decent people to say that police control is needed for the safety of those who are being attacked by these insane rioters. How convenient is that? I mean, wouldn't that be precisely why these riots are so convenient? To have people desperately asking for military intervention to protect them? I wouldn't blame them for doing so after watching what they're doing.
I'm just hoping that things may deescalate before they get nastier. Unfortunately, they could get nastier if they use some of their typical techniques, like snipers or unknown shooters shooting to both sides and all of what we've seen before in other places...
