We all know the story of the massive horrific explosion at the Beirut seaport. The Lebanese people have been through a tragedy. I'm sure they don't want more damage to their city yet because of the governments incompetence a lot of the people's frustration with this and other things have boiled up to riots, property destruction. To quote MLK, "riots are the language of the unheard". He was not advocating for violence but stating a natural result when oppressed people rise up.
I'm not going to judge the Lebanese people. They are fed up with their government. The explosion was just the camel that broke their straw backs. Again not advocating this but it's inevitable when it's people have suffered from years of neglect and abuse.
