There are definitely some things that are confounding, here. For example, violence against the perceived oppressive power, such as the state. However, there are arguments out there that this is a plutocracy, so violence against symbols of that like Gucci and Nike could be seen as viably politically motivated. The whole commentary from AOC just doesn't work, though.
And of course there will always be those that just thrive on the chaos and will take advantage of the situation.
