In Myanmar in early March of this year, people began to attack and vandalize more than two dozen businesses. These rioters helped convince the military government of Myanmar to continue and to escalate the use of brutal crackdowns on all activists, up to and including the use of lethal force that left dozens dead over just one weekend in mid-March.
In the United State, of course, rioters breached all security and overran the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 this year. In what must be a delicious irony to Venezuelan autocrat Nicolas Maduro — whose country exploded with riots against his leadership, giving then-White House occupant Trump many chances to criticize Maduro — the Venezuelan strongman got his chance to issue a public statement of great concern that the U.S. was experiencing riots.
