I Sometimes Wonder What the Hell Is Wrong With People

So, people are protesting Trump's election, and demonstrating about what a terrible person he is, by smashing cars, destroying property, and looting businesses, all of which belong to innocent people, terrorizing, and even attacking and murdering people. Please tell me I'm not the only one who can see that the only thing these people are demonstrating is that they are the monsters, and not the man they hate so violently.

I am seriously wondering...are these rioting people agent provocateurs?

I live in a house with five other people (a rooming house) who all voted for Clinton and not one person here is even cursing about it. One guy here who actually put in some time on the Clinton campaign was chuckling about it as he came downstairs the morning after the election saying, "Well, I guess we're stuck with that guy for four years..." Another guy drank a beer for breakfast and toasted us over the breakfast table saying, "Well, here's to the Donald! We've all gotta make the best of it!"

These jerks stopping traffic are hardly typical. Most of everyone I know on either side are just glad the election is over.

Are most of these people you mentioned white and male? or white and female? These are the people who will most likely be affected the least. Its the people Trump railed against during his campaign that are worried. Disabled people, Muslims, Minorities, etc.

Wow, congratulations on your good luck, living with some mature and intelligent people. Sadly, it's not what I'm seeing everywhere I go.

@Pherick: Most of us are white. One is hispanic. All of us are too poor to afford an apartment.

It is true that the rioter are apolitical and opportunistic
