In cities, namely Seattle, Washington and Washington DC, zones are being set-up given names that are satires on Capitol Hill. Supposedly they are connected to a 'Black Lives Matter; movement, and perhaps other protesting over racial discrimination.
What is happening is multiple persons are being shot in or around the scenes of the protesting.
For example, Seattle, CHOP zone.
Recently, 17 year old shot fatally.
DC, attempts at statue removal of Andrew Jackson.
Meanwhile the BHAZ zone in the limelight.

In New York, the statue of Theodore Roosevelt being removed might have more complex implications, as some perceive the statue is indicative of stating that Natives and American Indians as a whole, and African Americans as a whole, through the past, present, and future, are a permanent status of subservient to the President, other than Natives, American Indians, and African Americans. That statue has other figures with it.
The statue in Washington of Andrew Jackson-- grievances of him in the past with respect to understandings of his positions on certain ethnic backgrounds are being pitted against the statue. 
What often happens is, a series of events gets underway, the momentum gets going to simply make attempts at debasing the institution of the presidency, as what has been witnessed in about the past 5 years; wherein at this moment, it is foreseeable that momentum can get going by extremists to try to remove all statues of all the Presidents, as the rationales or extremist actions become less and less substantive.

Fireworks:
With numerous persons off work, and the season comes near the 4th of July, persons are bound to engage in fireworks more frequently.
Baltimore, Maryland, no stranger to ongoing fireworks the past few weeks.
Evidently in New York within recent hours a man threw lit fireworks at a person while the victim was sleeping.
There are reports of an abundance of illegal fireworks in southern Nevada area being lit.
Unfortunately, the trend that has been shown the past month is along with the increase of fireworks, is an increase in illegal activity coming with it.

Strange shootings of females:

This post and concurrent shootings of other women in cities. 

It may be that women being shooting victims has taken a weird increase in the past few weeks.

Comments on protesting:
By the result of facts, clusters of protesting deserve investigation as to what else is going on in there, reference sectioned off protesting zones and camps. People are camping out, socializing, possibly even fusion with partying, food is being passed out, all kinds of gear is being passed out that increases the ability to do danger to others and protect themselves in the process. Moreover, are instructions being disseminated on ways to attempt to dismantle, debase, and cripple society, especially through unrest and violence?
