So it's A-OK for the billionaire class to set our world & society on fire, but when people get upset about that & are then told "too bad, shut the fuck up", we're just supposed to take it?

How's that boot taste?

Not at all. Is this riot targeting billionaires, or did I miss something?

I'm reading about small, mom-and-pop shops being destroyed, community grocery stores being burned down, a firefighter being killed, and other things that simply aren't helping the people.

If anything, it's creating more of a separation between the wealthy and the poor, so I can't see why these riots would have anything to do with protesting against billionaires.
