If you look at the number of people estimate to have participated in 2020 protests, the casualties, and the damage, and then compare the casualties and damage resulting from Jan 6, on a per capita basis the destruction from the J6 riot outweighs the 2020 protests by an order of magnitude or two. I actually looked up the numbers a few years ago and don't recall the exact numbers, but there was a stark difference. |
Yes, thanks to the courageous efforts of women’s and civil rights activists, and which the current administration wants to reverse. |
Yes. Let’s play this game. Compare the numbers of republicans who participated in J6 to the number of democrats who participated in the riots of 2020. There is no comparison. I lost count of the number of riots during that summer. |
He’s just trying to slide into “you have no idea” DMs |
That is a bullshit comment and you know it. |
How is this BS? |
DP, no, not BS. Our civil rights are being eroded as I type this - what we can read, how we express ourselves, being forced through security check points on public streets, our first amendment rights being destroyed, due process being ignored and so on. |
Also the blood splatter goes forward instead of direction on shot. AND secret Service is going to let the president who was just "legitimately" shot at, stand up right and pump a fist. AND there is a complete media blackout about the shooter afterwards. TOTAL BS. |
There is a difference between a riot and a protest. The goal of the Black Lives Matter demonstrations was to strengthen our democracy. The goal of J6 was to overturn an election - to undermine democracy. It's a false equivalency. Also, you are ignoring the police officers who died after J6. |
Yawn... Violence during 2020 were incited by RWNJs among the crowds. |
Are you including peaceful protests in your definition of “riot”? And if you saw the same video loop every night are you counting it once or every time you watched it? |
Are you living in a cave? |
OP started a thread complaining about gaslighting and gets 8 pages of gaslighting. Oh well, they tried. |
Really? Because someone showed up with a gun three days later to kill Kavanaugh? Are you in command of historical fact? You seem to have forgotten a lot. What about Floyd Lee Corkins trying to kill "as many as possible" at the Family Research Council in Washington DC? Was he a conservative? |
Not to mention all of the anti-abortion violence (many deaths) over decades: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-abortion_violence |
