Wow, I never expected to see this tonight. There are about 300 people out there but this is all because of the man that was killed the other day. There has been rioting every night and it is all around our country. This one tonight is in the state of Washington. There are times set up so the protestors should be going home but they are not leaving. It is very bad this week since one man was murdered the other night. Every night there are more and more places across the country with people doing so much damage all over.

Damage and violence is no way to protest. But it happens everywhere in the world. People find an excuse to turn things violent and into riots. The clips on news channels are upsetting.

@ramapo17 Let's hope sense prevails and peace is there. I saw a clip where stores were looted. So many bring shame to such protests and dilute the real morale behind it.

Some just seem to use it as an excuse to loot and cause damage.

@JudyEv I know what you mean. I felt like I was in the family as I never left my tv. That is so sad. I still cannot believe that in this day and age there is still so much violence in the country.

@ramapo17 It was very painful to watch the video footage - just awful. And the poor guy was being very respectful. It was heart-breaking.

That is not good they are continuing to hurt others in the name of protests. Many lives will be lost in the process and properties will alsdo be damaged.

That is true and to many people are to close together. I would think some people are going to get the virus from that incident.

@ramapo17 They risk to be killed and not by protestors, they should be careful.

You are right and the same thing happened over here which is so crazy. I think most of them should be put in jail for a few days and then have to pay for the repairs.

I followed that on the news. I am sure they have also contributed to the rise in the virus Florida is having.

In the beginning Florida was very low with the people having the virus but now, since they opened up the beaches and other places and even parts of Disney opened, not everything but I don't think they should have opened that yet either.

@DianneN It is getting worse in Florida than it was before. People just don't listen or they don't believe it is real.

@ramapo17 I agree. When we were there only a few counties had it bad, but we left early due to the covidiots in our building. I'm very unhappy with the idiot governor. The main problem is that most don't wear masks, social distance, or wash their hands. No, many things should not have opened. The virus is still out there.
