The same stupidity as in the bigger cities here. Just on a smaller scale. The population of Rochester NY is only around 220 thousand, so it's hard to compete with the lunacy in the real big places that have many more idiots to get all riled up. The "peaceful demonstrations" that started in the afternoon degenerated into rioting and looting as soon as it got dark. Pretty much confined to the neighborhoods where all the trouble here always is. Windows broken, stores ransacked, sh*t set on fire. One poor woman trying to defend her property got badly beaten by some a*sholes with boards. She's lucky she wasn't killed. A few arrests, but not nearly as many as there should have been.
The mayor - black,female,democrat - blamed the violence on "outside agitators and anarchists"
I doubt that very many "outside agitators and anarchists" from wherever have ever even heard of Rochester NY, much less hustled up here to start some rioting on a few hours notice, but that's the official story.
The couple of jerks I saw on the news coming out of one of the ransacked liquor stores with a bottle in each hand, and a couple more stuffed in their pants, didn't look much like "outside agitators to me. More like the local feral denizens. Probably lived in some sh*thole hovel right around the corner from the store they just robbed and wrecked.
The park where I walk my dog every morning is right on the border between the city proper and the suburban town where I live. It has been clean and quiet and practically empty all weekend. Of course there isn't anything to steal there, it's mostly grass and trees, and the dog and I take our walk at 7am or so. I guess the "protesters" probably sleep in, so they are all rested up for another night of "peaceful demonstrations".
