Do you?

There's no reason that BLM = Rioting and burning down cities

Probably because there is no equivalency. You claim to understand the situation by then make FALSE equivalency like this. Rioting and looting are done by people with nothing who have nothing to lose under the cover of protest.

Business owners already struggling due to the pandemic

Struggling economically is one thing. People who are losing family members to the virus makes them could care less about a business struggling.

When something like Coronavirus exposes just how rigged the system is to exploit and destroy communities for no other reason than their race and economic status, they realize the game is rigged against them and they flip over the table again and again and again. It isn't surprising.

They are now losing their property and livelihood because some of the population feel it's their right to act violently because of the BLM?

Lose the toxic false equivalency. BLM does not equate violence, just because you think it does.

He wasn't randomly shooting protesters, he was shooting people destroying a car lot and business of his friend. Again this is crazy, but if nobody else will protect it (Police) what the hell do you do?

WOW. Are you seriously defending him? Maybe the realization that human life is more important that property could be a basic comprehension. It's why we have things like insurance, so we leave our house in a fire because we have systems to pay for a new TV set.

At what point do we hold these people accountable?

What do you even mean by this? People looting or people who gain egregious benefit from a rigged system?

The BLM movement is one thing, but the fact that its turned into "what can we vandalize/loot next" does not bode well for what it stands for, and this is happening in unprecedented numbers in the U.S and its major cities.

Any facts or evidence for your false equivalency? Nah... just your opinon. Saying BLM has turned into "what can we vandalize next?" is like saying policing has turned in to "which person of color can we shoot next?" It's a toxic and insidious thing to say.
