1991年に起きたロス暴動と類似点が沢山ある。その暴動で何が変わったか？結果的には何も変わらない。いやむしろ地元住民には悪くなった。一度破壊されたら、その地域のビジネスは二度と同じ地に戻って来なかった。つまり働き口や仕事がなくなり、買い物も不便になっただけというわけ。スラム化がすすむのである。暴動はビジネスや住宅・賃貸アパートでもますます、口には決して出さないが差別が正当化される。だから暴動に参加する人間の中心は暴動プロであろう。混乱に乗じての個人の私利私欲の追及やグループの大きな目的の達成。そこには無政府主義、反資本主義、ギャングメンバーや反黒人思想や住民以外の派遣部隊が含まれるとみてもまったくおかしくないのである。

There are anarchists': Minnesota officials say 'outside agitators' are hijacking peaceful protests
May 30, 2020 2:42pm Update 6:40pm ET Trevor Hughes/USA TODAY
MINNEAPOLIS — Drifting out of the shadows in small groups, dressed in black, carrying shields and wearing knee pads, they head toward the front lines of the protest. Helmets and gas masks protect and obscure their faces, and they carry bottles of milk to counteract tear gas and pepper spray.
Most of them appear to be white. They carry no signs and don't want to speak to reporters. Trailed by designated "medics" with red crosses taped to their clothes, these groups head straight for the front lines of the conflict.
Night after night in this ravaged city, these small groups do battle with police and the National Guard, kicking away tear gas canisters and throwing back foam-rubber projects fired at them. Around them, fires break out. Windows are smashed. Parked cars destroyed. USA TODAY reporters have witnessed the groups on multiple nights, in multiple locations. Sometimes they threaten those journalists who photograph them destroying property.
The mayor and governor say outside agitators are hijacking peaceful protests over the death of George Floyd and literally fanning the flames of destruction. And experts say things will likely get worse in Minneapolis and in other cities seeing similar peaceful protests that turn violent like Los Angeles; Louisville, Kentucky; Des Moines, Iowa; Detroit, Atlanta; and Washington, D.C.
“The real hard-core guys, this is their job: They’re involved in this struggle," said Adam Leggat, a former British Army counterterrorism officer who now works as a security consultant specializing in crowd management for the Densus Group. "They need protests on the street to give them cover to move in.”
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said protests in the city Tuesday were largely peaceful and organized by local residents, but that the "dynamic has changed over the last several days."
"I want to be very, very clear: The people that are doing this are not Minneapolis residents," Frey said Saturday.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, without providing specifics, said he believes 80% of the people now taking part in the overnight rioting are from outside Minnesota.
"There are detractors. There are white supremacists. There are anarchists," Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan said Saturday afternoon.
