Not exhaustive but, compare the below with Chicago or Minneapolis. https://houston.eater.com/2020/6/1/21277094/downtown-houston-protests-george-floyd-killing-r

  Minneapolis is where the protests started, though, so it makes sense that they would be more intense there in Houston. And beyond "not exhaustive," one example is essentially no evidence at all, unless you believe protests inherently turn violent without people open carrying firearms. Some actual numbers on property damage in multiple cities compared to rates of firearm ownership and ideally open carrying would be useful, but I'm not sure we have those.

    I'd love that data. I'm sure someone will publish something with that. I'm personally in a red state and the agitators were kept on a short lease by the police. Just a few broken windows and a temporarily blocked freeway. Nothing burned down. And you are right non-exhaustive was an understatement. Haha.
