I'm open to the possibility that infiltration by white nationalists was a significant contributing factor to the widespread anarchy and destruction coincident with the BLM protests. There are a small number of unsubstantiated reports and rumors of right-wing agitators, but so far there's been no adjudicatable evidence. There haven't even been any arrests to support the rumors. You're the one who seems to be selecting anecdotes to support your preferred narrative. Your narrative might well be true, but I haven't seen any good evidence one way or the other, an it appears you don't have any to offer.

> widespread anarchy and destruction coincident with the BLM protests. How many cities saw protests and what percent saw violence. And I see now that Now it’s become “coincident” so not necessarily anything to do with the actual BLM movement. After all this still no support for the broad generalization and this is such a broad claim it requires extensive support. And because you’re not calling all cops bad, it’s rather apparent that the standards of support and focus are very divergent. Note, Fox News or Breitbart is not a credible source on this matter due to long demonstrated bias and mischaracterization about race. Although not even those were provided. On the other hand my claim was narrow, that something existed to consider, not the extent of it. Anyway, FIY between 93% and 96% of George Floyd murder protests saw no property damage. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/10/16/this-summers-black-lives-matter-protesters-were-overwhelming-peaceful-our-research-finds/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/10/16/this-summ... What percent of the 4 to 7 % where it did occur was due opportunistic looters, white nationalists causing trouble etc is not known, but I can’t stop anyone from intentionally ignoring those aspects.
