I doubt anyone looking at his burnt out family business would call it a “random protest” rather than a riot.

To my mind, any riot is an attack on government. It is also a violent tantrum, and no amount of excuse-making or media pixie dust will convince me otherwise. I see 10/7 as just another such violent tantrum rather than an organized coup attempt representing some kind of pivotal moment in history. I’m no supporter of Trump, but that does not mean I must blindly support anything some of his opposition feels I must. That would simply be elevating one brand of idiocy over another.
