I mean you've seen it before for sure. In a shop when you see a child running around screaming their heads off while the parent is clearly doing fuck all about it.

If at the start of all this if the police had actually done their jobs it wouldn't be as bad as it is now. If these people were even sent to jail for a few months for destroying property, the low-level scum would just go home.

But since no one wants to enforce the law they have been emboldened to display to the public want they really want to do. As they have nothing to fear.
