What is the simplest explanation:
1. Vast wide ranging conspiracy to maybe justify a law and order federal stance.
2. Bored youth that want free stuff use social media to get it as they have on and off for a decade now.

Bored youth who have learned the hard way to go outside of their neighborhood to loot and brag about their free haul (of course for sale at a major discount).

I think it's important for everyone to realize just how fragile our society is and how it can move towards anarchy when people choose not to follow the arbitrary rules that we have set up. I've grown to accept that the only way that society can be controlled in this city (and elsewhere) is the illusion of order. When that illusion is gone, then we are all screwed. I believe it's best that we stop pinning something like this on Trump or Soros of whoever because in the end the world is a lot more fragile than we would like to think.

I totally agree with this. The moment one removes the thin veneer of societal norms, all bets are off. This entire nation is simply a powderkeg ready to explode! In many ways, our humanity is disappearing right before our eyes, and we're literally devolving into the species in which we originated from. Stress (both financial and emotional) has resulted in what we're seeing, along with systemic racism of all types. Add to it social media and we're all more or less hosed.
