      "But but but....that's different Sir"! Trae Crowder made that very point concerning the kid glove approach to those 6 January rioters as did various talking heads while the events were taking place.

      One need only imagine the response had the crowd attending the rally and then marching down Pennsylvania Avenue been BLM/anti-fascist protesters.

        That does not detract from the fact that not all the BLM protests were violent.

          That is just stupid, there were people killed in the riots over the summer. And I'm not speaking just of your examples.

          At least 25 Americans were killed during protests and political unrest in 2020

            And not all of Trump folks rioted in DC, only a small fraction of those in attendance.

              Who has alleged that they did?

              You seem very eager to point out that not all Trump voters were violent or destructive while regularly referring to violence perpetrated by some BLM/anti-fascist protesters as if this was behaviour engaged in at every single protest and by every single protester.

              There is a word for such a viewpoint.

                  People were murdered during the liberal occupations, too, and, no, they weren't all "protestors killed by right wing counterprotestors" as you are trying to gaslight us.

                  But like a typical liberal, you try to excuse, justify, and downplay violence committed by the left while vilifying the same actions committed by those on the right.

                    Not all the protestors who showed up on Capitol Hill on January 6 were violent. What's your point?

                      Also worth noting is that the violence happening right now in cities like Portland, Seattle, and Denver is not being perpetrated by "rightwing extremists" but by Antifa and Black Lives Matter.

                            Bingo! They're mostly peaceful riots, and you just have to understand the poor fellas and gals have been oppressed, so looting and burning are OK.
