5. It's outside agitators trying to start trouble in downtown Pittsburgh

I'd really like to know who these outsiders are and why they're coming here. In the last 2 days there have been graffiti spray painted on a few public buildings and sculptures, gravesites, etc. Today it was announced that we have a curfew, everybody please stay home, but the outside agitators were already here.

Some police have been injured (at least 4 taken to hospitals) and I'm sure there will be updates in the 11 o'clock news. Of course everyone is upset by George Floyd's death (murder) but this was a peaceful protest here in Pittsburgh. Suddenly outside agitators came in and tried to start a violent confrontation.
