As we look a Portland, Seattle, NY, and now Chicago it is ever more obvious protests vs riots are a difference without distinction. Eventually, the socially awake, paternalistic and safely liberal upper middle class urbanites will wake up to the fact that they are becoming targets of the mob. Law and Order - particularly the notion of "order" are necessary preconditions for the administration of justice. Eventually the self-congratulatory class will perceive their wealth of good intentions are meaningless to both anarchists and the mob. The hand wringers will be voted out of office, and order may be restored. Or they will do like you propose, and simply flee (like the exodus from NYC and California.) I guess at some point we run out of safe havens?
