I don't think they are paid. My money is on antifa doing this.

Could be, but who is paying for the bricks? Who is coordinating where to place the pallets full of bricks across multiple major cities?

I've seen an article going over many instances of these brick pallets. Apparently in most cases they found out that there actually was construction going on nearby, or sometimes the bricks were put there for e.g. renewing the pavement in the coming weeks.

If you estimate the amount of construction going on in the riot-areas normally, it seems to me most of the incidents were probably not planted bricks, but building materials that were present coincidentally. If work is still to start, obviously there would be no construction seen.

There's too many for it to be coincidence, and they're on wheeled pallet carts... all the same brand of bricks, in all the places across the whole US, and many of them are not near any construction whatsoever. Seems likely someone is planting them

You are reaching there sir. Zero evidence, all feels. The smart thing to say is we don't know and stop there.

No, the smart thing is to pay attention to the world around us, instead of of closing our ears when we hear something we don't like.

A few weeks ago I believed what you believe. But I found this one article going over like a dozen of these brick sightings. All were there for construction. That was good research, but not exhaustive; not the researching of ALL piles of bricks spotted.

On the other hand I have seen ZERO proof of any pile being linked to any instigator, be it police CIA antifa or whatever.

So as you see keeping an open mind in that context means that until I see the first evidence of a malicious brick placement by anyone (cops/cia/antifa...) the open minded choice is to keep the hypothesis that there is no one placing piles of bricks maliciously.

So as I am trying to follow your advice, help me out and show me proof for a single malicious brick pile. I'll gladly revert back to my original opinion if you have even the flimsiest of evidence.

It is the same with the so called "police instigators". All I have seen is videos of people shouting at other people "are you a cop"? For now, the open mind says "I don't know (yet)".
