    "was/were" are verbs, not pronouns.

    Although extremely wrong, one has to wonder what led up to such abnormal behavior. People don't act that way because they've been treated nicely. Somewhere along the line those people were badly mistreated and were blindly lashing out.

    Police: Richmond riots instigated by white supremacists disguised as Black Lives Matter

    RICHMOND, Va. – Riots in downtown Richmond over the weekend were instigated by white supremacists under the guise of Black Lives Matter, according to law enforcement officials.

    Protesters tore down police tape and pushed forward toward Richmond police headquarters, where they set a city dump truck on fire.

    Police declared the event an “unlawful assembly” and ordered people to leave, later deploying tear gas.

    Six people were arrested. The mayor of Richmond thanked the Black Lives Matter protesters he said tried to stop the white supremacists from spearheading the violence.

    “Their mission is simple, not the Richmond we know,” said Mayor Levar Stoney.

    Besides the police department, damage also occurred in and around the VCU campus.

    If the rich people's property keeps getting damaged, how will they pay for all of the socialist programs the rioters want?

    seems counter productive to destroy the wealth that some want redistributed. Just sayin.
