    It’s a terrible plan, to be sure. I bet their thinking was something along the lines of creating an environment suitable for looting/rioting, along with police brutality to follow, all in the hopes that racial tensions in the region play out in their favor.

    Of course, they completely ignored how things went when hurricane Irene knocked out power to the region. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t fun but folks were generally okay.

      And people didn’t start turning against their neighbors- in fact the opposite happened and communities generally became closer than before, regardless of insignificant things like the color of their skin or where their grandparents were born.
