I think the right is by far more prone to incite crap like this, but let's be fair and balanced here. A lot of the good that could have come from the George Floyd situation, as an example, was undermined by opportunists looting and in general creating chaos, for no other reason, than to create chaos. Was it all left leaning people, no, but it still doesn't change the fact that people that protest on that side are not incapable of violence.
And Seattle was a complete shitshow, which I blame on city leadership as much as anyone.
And I am not a "both sides" guy, it's just the truth. I see a lot of the machinations of the far right a lot more dangerous for our country than anything the left is doing, but neither extreme gets a pass when it comes to protest violence.
