I would like to play it however. I would give about 30 cents
the first neo-Klan is ideologically driven (not a hired hand)

Milo Y. clearly also benefits from all the publicity generated by
the riots. I like your percentage allocation although I would
personally reallocate 10 points from the "neither" to the
"ideological" category.<br>
<br>
What I should have said is that regardless of who actually funds
Antifas and other "by any means necessary" groups, the events so
far indicate to me that local police forces do not seem to have
any desire or intention of arresting the troublemakers. <br>

Everybody gets an imaginary dollar for each of two memes, the
first meme: the identity and motive of a captured black-mask,
the second being no-arrest. For adjudicator, we could get a
neutral-ish sort of guy who we have known for a long time,
such as Adrian, or one who has a lot of experience with
campuses such as BillW, or even a British guy with no dog in
the fight such as BillK. Or hell, all three, an omnipotent
