Yeah, I've wondered if, say, a Wells Fargo building places a BLM sign in their window, whether that would impact whether they were vandalized. It depends in a fundamental way on the 'theory of mind' or mind-reading capabilities of the rioter. To what extent is such a sign mere lip service vs an authentic gesture? I'd be a bit ashamed if lip service were adequate.
