IMO there should be some nuance between setting "some things" on fire and setting a building on fire. A pile of burning debris in the middle of the road may serve a purpose, like impeding law enforcement.

I wrote it on Twitter and I'll now do it on Bluesky: that "lawmakers" -- including now retired pro-Beijingers -- do NOT regularly take public transportation. And thus really should not have much/any say with regards to public transport regulations, etc.
