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?

Race riots are nothing new in the US. The Rodney King riots didn't have a virus to blame.

Seriously? Given the choice between "many decades of racial animosity and unfair police conduct" and "it's the lockdown", you really made that choice?

The Rodney King riots were isolated to Los Angeles.

If these riots had stayed isolated to Minneapolis you'd have a point.
