If you belligerently disregard the the plight of being, poor, minority, lgbtq+, etc in America then sure these are awful behaviors. This is intellectually dishonest, and a bad faith argument straight off of fox news.
These riots piss you off and terrify you because they expose the fragility of your privileged existence that is wholly reliant on the systemic imbalances the protestors have spent their lives under the boot of.
Fighting for ones right to exist without being murdered by police is the argument of blm. Focus on that instead of using the actions of a few to air your racist and classist grievances.
Protesting is a feature of democracy even if it offends you.
Storming Congress to hang the vice president and Trump's other political enemies is an assault on democracy and a push for dictatorship.
Your inability to recognize the difference is extremely concerning.
