I wonder why the "energy" came out of the looters and Antifa factions last night. Some speculation follows. . .

Obviously the number of retail "targets" has been reduced by destruction. But why didn't the looting just keep spreading to more suburban areas with fresh targets? Answer: Guns. Bodies would start dropping when Republican territory got invaded.

I also think Trump's tough talk was received as credible. Looters, no doubt, believed the military would act more aggressively than police because the blowback would be different. The military is our most respected institution. And extra "presence" always helps.

The peaceful protestors (I call them fine people) also seemed to turn on the brick-throwing folks. I think the fine people would have physically restrained the bad actors when practical and safe, and did, to maintain the integrity of their message.

One strong theory is that Antifa members mostly live with their parents, and mom and dad probably shut some of them down.

There is also an "energy" explanation. There was too much pent up energy from the coronavirus lockdown, and men of a certain age will release that energy no matter what. Maybe the energy was released by a week of protests.

Or maybe all the looters ran home and realized that footwear of the wrong size has less value than they hoped, while Antifa was being identified by the thousands, and BLM was setting back race relations by a decade. Maybe it just didn't work for anyone, and they realized it.

This is where you hit it square on the head. When they declared
#AntifaDomesticTerrorists it opened up all@kinds of tools they could use from PRIZM and I am sure some data was found connecting them to key figures who want to stay in the dark. That is where this gets interesting -
Like to know who's hiding in the dark, holding the puppet strings

Perhaps AG Barr’s threat to release names has to do with this. Maybe they made a deal.
