Yesterday I heard an interview where a man said his mother, a black lady in Houston, I believe, watched as bricks were delivered randomly near her house.

Doug said there were pallets of bricks pre-delivered to the sites. I haven't sourced that myself. I've also heard reports in the mainstream media that a right wing group was responsible for the violence in hopes of creating a race war.

Police chiefs were saying a while back that the looting and violence is mostly opportunistic -- in other words, when most of the police force is at a protest, that gives opportunities that don't usually exist. Here's a little more on that:

This also suggests to me that the widespread anguish about cameras anywhere is a little silly. I've seen a dozen Ring videos of theft in the last week on NextDoor, with no chance of catching the perpetrator.
