I find it sadly ironic that the mayors and governors from the states where many of these riots (errrr "peaceful demonstrations") occurred, were just a few days ago threatening to put people in jail if they broke social distancing rules and/or violated their draconian COVID-19 business operating laws. Yet now in those very same communities we see thousands of people in the streets face-to-face demonstrating and rioting without any reprimands or repercussions from those same elected officials.
Logic would dictate that given these circumstances, the local government (by allowing these protests) have reversed their positions on COVID-19 isolation, and they should allow law abiding citizens to open their businesses and go to work, so they can restart their local economies. --- BUT no! Politics trumps logic at every turn.
