No. These thugs aren’t going to church. They just want to destroy hand have a golden opportunity to do it.
I wasn’t saying the rioters had been going to church before. I meant that a lot of people in the US now are less supportive of the police than before, because they’ve seen them use heavy handed tactics to shut down perfectly legitimate things. And because a lot of normal social outlets, from the neighborhood bar to the playgrounds and schools to the beaches, were shut down, many people lost whatever little connection they had to stability and order.
Of course, when it comes to stopping rioters and thugs, the police and the authorities that efficiently shut down normal life for all appear to be out of their depth...
