Am I the only one that gets the feeling these riots have nothing to do with George Floyd at this point and are just a massive boiling over of tension from Coronavirus lockdown orders?

I don't think people are protesting against lockdown orders per se, but it's hard deny that the protests are getting huge crowds because people are (1) incredibly bored, and (2) have no job or school to go to instead.

(Not to deny the sentiment or validity of the protests -- maybe in an ideal world, the protestors would have gone otherwise, but IRL, would have been tired, bogged down in work or school, or otherwise distracted with life. Which currently doesn't exist).
