20007. Born and raised. Why don't you go back to Armpit, Ohio. Some hit a liquor store near Foggy Bottom, where young men, both white and black, snatched handles of alcohol and took swigs while others ran off with all they could carry. In Shaw, a Giant grocery store — with employees still inside — was broken into, as was a Sephora in Gallery Place. On H Street NE, looters ransacked a CVS. In Georgetown, the Nike store’s boarded-up doors were broken down and its merchandise plundered. In Friendship Heights and Tenleytown, five miles from the White House, other groups hit a Target and smashed open Rodman’s, a beloved drugstore, specialty grocer and housewares shop — all in one. Near 15th and H streets, another group set fire to a sandwich shop while onlookers chanted, “no justice, no peace.” The smell of fire hung heavy in the air, and shattered glass speckled the pavement. Gone were the windows of the Lafayette Building, home to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Next door, all the outdoor umbrellas at the Opaline Bar and Brasserie were warped and charred. As police and firefighters showed up to investigate, the destruction continued around them, the looters uncaring. “It’s terrible what they’re doing,” said a passerby on a bike. “There’s only one D.C. They’re wrecking it.” |

Wait- is someone supposedly in DC trying to tell the rest of us actually in DC that the riots and looting and burning didn't happen?
What's the point there? You think you'll convince all of us that we just hallucinated what went on this summer? You realize that makes you look crazy right? |

“I’ve been in other parts of the city and I’m very angry that people would destroy their own city or people would come here and destroy our city,” Bowser said in a separate interview with Fox 5. “We’ve seen a significant number of storefronts damaged that have broken glass, have been vandalized, some properties have been looted, and we have more than anything a lot of graffiti.”
lol. I guess the Mayor is lying too. |
This is one article/day. It’s still not a federal building. This is a ridiculous conversation. |

That you, Meghan McCain? |
Learn to read. Gone were the windows of the Lafayette Building, home to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. So, just to keep me laughing, you think setting fire to multiple buildings, some occupied at the time, isn't as bad as some redneck from Georgia taking a dump in a lawmaker's desk drawer? |
NP. Violently storming the Capitol building with the intent of subverting a democratic process is in a completely different galaxy than smashing windows and lighting fires. Textbook false equivalency. |
Wut? The Capitol wasn't even a full day. The looting, rioting, and vandalizing this summer went on for weeks and weeks What's your end game in denying something so easily refuted? |
You're right, Fires usually kill people. Breaking down a door and stealing a podium doesn't. |
And yet 5 people died in the Capitol coup attempt. |
3 people had medical emergencies that aren't clearly tied to the protests. |
What an asinine post. I'm not sure why you're carrying water for insurrectionists, but I'd wager it has a lot to do with your profound lack of critical thinking skills. |
3 people had medical emergencies during the riot, but they weren't clearly tied to the riot? Do you also say that people died WITH covid, not OF covid? |
People have heart attacks even when not at protests. People could have a heart attack when engaged in anything strenuous/exciting. Those are very different than the woman who was shot or the police officer who was assaulted and killed. As for Covid, yes that very much can be the case. I know someone who was killed in a car crash. That person had Covid, but his death had nothing to do with Covid. |
