Burning and looting homes and businesses is absolutely violence, but there are plenty of assaults and murders if you're not convinced. This is an abhorrent take.

I need evidence here.

Businesses like Target, who come into small communities, push out the mom-and-pops, then raise prices?

I'm not convinced, and I need evidence that a) the shootings that you're about to link to are in fact linked to the protests (because in one case it seems like a drive-by) and b) the assaults were not self-defense from e.g., someone pointing a weapon at a crowd of people or e.g., a truck driver attempting to plow through a crowd of peaceful protestors.

Do your own homework. It's been going off 24/7 for days on social media or on the news station of your preference. We're talking about the mom and pop shops, not the big chains, but I'm sure you know that already.
