This dude has some very solid views and is a well informed moderate, neither liberal or conservative.
He thinks we are directly going into a Civil War now.
Not a second civil war. However, there could be confused kids and college professors out there, hundreds of them, running with the "protestors", who believe they are the tip of the spear of a full blown communist revolution—a paramilitary/insurrectionist movement known historically as a vanguard party. How far deluded kids like that will go to perpetuate such a fantasy is anyone's guess.
Any second civil war will begin online and in the media, followed very quickly by declarations of intent to rebel against the federal government in Washington D.C. from governors and mayors
and possibly even high-ranking military officers. Children playing in the street is neither of those things. Additionally, any second civil war will be an affair fought electronically, psychologically and physically between opposing military forces, not civilians. In my best guess one side or the other of such an event would be sponsored by a foreign enemy power.
Nevertheless, civil war or not, these riots are quite disturbing in their connotations or references to prior historical events. That, and of course there's the part where no one in America needed more fucking stress added to their daily lives, let alone the destruction of their personal property.
