A comment on Why is there no theory of the just riot? (2021). Parent comment
There is no evidence of this, and all of the reporting from the BLM protests showed them together.
If you have some way to support the claim that riots and protests are somehow always distant from each other, it would be interesting to see.
> Looters aren't all in close geographic distance of protests
This seems like a straw man. We are talking about riots that co-occur with looting, of course.
In any case it doesn’t matter. Protesters could distance themselves from riots, but don’t and that is the problem.
