This happens even in my US city. When there is a major protest that keeps the Police busy, criminals take the opportunity to loot stores while there is no law enforcement to stop them.

In SF's BLM protests, they were completely separate groups.

Even if your wild generalization were true, what would be the purpose of a congressional investigation?

Step 1: Break ties with Russia. Until then, everything is double-speak

Step 0: get all those tens (hundreds?) of thousands of mostly highly-educated professionals fleeing the military draft to Kazakhstan, Armenia and Georgia (mostly). Even though Russian government says IT workers are exempt, everyone that can flee the country and haven’t done that earlier, runs now. It could be a huge opportunity for these countries’ economies if managed well.

Good point actually

I went to dozens of BLM protests in 2020, including the one in SoHo that got the most publicity. The number of looters from among the protestors rounds to zero.

BTW I'm French and I'm used to this kind of rhetoric. Every time there's a demonstration (and we do a lot of them) the newspaper and "the other side" will use the minority of distractor to discredit the movement. It's so common I wish there was a name for this strategy. Perhaps we should call that a "misrepresenting minority fallacy".
