More significantly - they have come from all over the country - where did they get the money to do this?

Good grief, you two are sunk in MAGA mud up to your ears. Look, I don't approve of burning cars. But _non_ violent protests are legal, and cops could have handled the tiny minority who were violent.
 But how do protesters make a living? Well, there were non- violent protests near here weeks ago. I didn't attend, but I knew people who did. Retired teachers. A retired electrician. A librarian. A restaurant owner. A couple engineers, and more. It doesn't take a fortune to hold a picket sign.
 And how would they have gotten across country? Well, I recently did it just on saved-up credit card points; but most protesters probably traveled less than a day's drive.
 Your political views are built almost entirely on fantasy - murder rates that are surging (except they're actually going down), millions of false election votes (that have never, ever been found despite searches in hundreds of jurisdictions), immigrants eating people's dogs and cats (got evidence? got recipes?), "peaceful protesters" who accidentally assaulted police and smashed Capitol windows to burst in, and tacky gold plated billionaires who really, really care about _you_.

Peaceful assembly and petitioning of grievances is a good thing. I have participated many times.  We agree strongly on that.
Burning your own car is probably legal, but burning other people's cars, looting, attacking LE and such is described in the law as 'mob action' or 'riot' and goes well beyond protected rights.
