> I am not downplaying anything...

You literally just characterized the largest mass arson in at least several decades as "spray painting a building or stealing a TV".

> ...your points don't dispute my major argument of people are more important property.

I guess the ten or more people who have already died in the riots don't matter though; nor the numerous women who have been raped under the cover of chaos, nor the victims of the kidnappings.

Effectively nobody is happy about the murder of George Floyd, but why cover for the killing of several more people and the destruction of countless lives? Is it over some bizarre sense of justice? What justice are you enabling, making cover for looters who were happy to bust the sports bar owner's safe right in front of him, and take what they please?

This is incoherent. If the riots were out of a regard for human life, they would not callously destroy so many such lives.
