Those riots just had to happen because of the lock-downs. It took longer than it might have.
The hooligans might be asked, "How would you react if the policeman with his knee on the prisoner's neck had been black?".
How about if the victim had been white?
Ridiculous situation, but it is obvious that the hooligans do not see themselves as Americans. They see themselves as underprivileged blacks living in an oppressive white society..
The rest of the mob with multicolored skin are just hooligans looking for an opportunity to gang up and break things. And with all the restrictions in place, the ganging up was inevitable.

Blame China?
People looking around for someone to blame for the pandemic seem to zero in on the Chinese.
Hey, it's a pandemic. It requires nothing more than a heavily-populated area to assert its presence. China is heavily populated. May be that the next wipeout will begin in India, or Africa.
The job of a pandemic is to cull the human herd, and it is doing that efficiently by reducing the marginally functional fringe.

Climate Change?
We're definitely undergoing sweeping climate change. Certainly, it's not Global Warming.
We are all waiting for that spring-like weather. The trees are waiting to leaf out. The daffodils, which were encouraged to blossom during a cool, sunny day last week, are facing the sun, looking cold and unhappy. There's no enthusiasm in their little faces.
Our Bing cherry, tired of waiting, has bloomed reluctantly. But the chances of producing cherries are slim with no insects around to carry pollen back and forth.
It's as though everything is on hold, waiting for Nature to announce that we are again open for business..

Media Hype?
So recent figures of the world toll from the Covid 19 pandemic estimate it to be a relatively insignificant 205,000 as of Saturday nite.
205,000 out of a world population of an estimated 8 billion? That's hardly scary for a global panic of the proportions we have been drummed into enduring by the authorities.
World population was considerably smaller at the end of WWI when the Spanish Flu was claimed to have cost an estimated 20-50 million lives.
Did the presence of cell phones and electronic media hype in our current world stampede the human herd into an unwarranted level of panic?
