Seems to be a common theme to a lot of these riots

Look at the past two nights in LA. The first night, it wasn't really that bad. People were mostly content to throw a few things and be herded around by the police.
I guess that wasn't sufficient, because last night all hell broke loose and half of downtown Hollywood got looted and burned to the ground.
You may be on to something.

We don’t need foreign intervention to destroy our country, we are doing a fine enough job of it ourselves

You can also add to the list the fact that every single "protest" in every city seems to have an unlimited supply of fireworks. In cities, where they aren't often sold. In May.

You forgot people stealing goods to honor the deceased.

1) Protests initially are peaceful.
2) Antifa thugs show up and start breaking windows/attacking police.
3) Local hood-rats then join in the chaos as no one's getting arrested.
4) All hell breaks loose.

And somewhere between No.3 and No.4, someone drops that MLK quote, something something about being the voice of the unheard.
