    But the left has taken "it's a mostly peaceful protest" to an artform!

    Once again - I'm consistent - you do the crime, you should do the time.

      Only when it actually is worse. We have consistently condemned violence by anyone. It's the left that uses language like "mostly peaceful" to disguise and excuse their use of violence.

        it was Shuny who wanted to deflect from Islamic violence to right-wring violence. I never mentioned left-wing violence. 2020 showed violence is mainstream for the modern US left. I don't see Republicans setting up bail funds for the Capitol rioters or any other right wing extremist. If we're going to pile up the bodies in general throughout history, Stalin and Mao are a 1-2 punch for victory for the left of the ideological spectrum. If we're going to look at religion and death toll, Islam is the victory.

        The only constant is the human capacity for violence. No one here is defending right-wing violence or extremism.

          In people like HA's mind, correcting the lies that the left made up about the Capitol riot, is "defending right-wing volence"

            Actually the right has consistently tried to blame right wing violence on lefties. Republican Congressmen did it today when the FBI Director testified about Jan 6. Although he kept insisting there was no evidence of involvement by antifa or BLM or other left wing instigators, these Congressmen kept asking about left wing involvement.

            Our intel agencies have tried to warn about right wing terrorism in the USA since before McVeigh, but Republicans will have none of it, even as example after example occurs and the body count goes up.

              What "lies" did "the left" make up about the events of 6 January?

                  One of the most egregious ones - that a Capitol Police Officer was bludgeoned to death with a fire extinguisher. Never happened.

                    He died from injuries he sustained. I have not read anywhere that he was "bludgeoned to death" with the fire extinguisher.

                        I'm shocked! (not even in the least - but, yes - there's a whole thread on that)

                            Your link says nothing of the sort. Not to mention it is 20 years old.
                            Your reference supported this.

                              I do hope you posted the same request to Cow Poke who introduced the topic [see post # 38]. I have no particular interest in discussing the man's death.

                                Or is that more evidence of the Lügenpresse? I honestly don't know. However, scenes of burning buildings. looted shops, and people hitting one another makes for far more "exciting" television than images of peaceful protesters with placards shouting slogans.
