Protestors Breach Capital Building

I agree with most of the outrage said here about what happened. I don't necessarily think all who stormed inside deserved to be shot dead (only if they were visibly armed would I go along with that), but they should have shot more to intimidate them back, tasered them, tear gas etc.

It's how lax they were in dealing with them that was most disturbing. After seeing how peaceful BLM protestors got treated in the summer - this was the most blatant example of systemic racism in the police, and evidence of white power and privilege. Barack Obama was in power just four years ago, and somehow America has backslided decades in race relations. All thanks to Trump, Trumpism and the GOP embracing the lunatic far right fringe.

Did Trump really think this would end some other way?

Are you talking about the protests that were allowed to go on for a hundred plus days?

I do think that this has a qualitative difference to the BLM protests.

I'm glad law enforcement didn't let these morons protest/riot for a 100+ days. I hope they continue breaking up all riots this quickly

Are you just trying to annoy liberals or do you really think that storming the US capitol is the same as any of the BLM protests?

You mean the ones that included laying siege to a federal courthouse and taking over six city blocks and kicking out the police?

Yeah, I mean the one we all know about.

Well, I know a lot of Democrats supported the rioters laying siege to a federal building. If I recall correctly the mayor even showed up to the siege and hung out with the rioters. Also, didn't the governor approve of the group of extremists that took over 6 city blocks. I believe she referred to the weeks-long occupation as a Summer of Love

Edit: personally, I find both sides were wrong.

Edit2: The Summer of Love comment was also made by a mayor

There is one difference, democrats supported the rioters who attacked a federal courthouse and took over 6 city blocks. whereas, nobody is supporting the rioters who breached the capitol building.

Who justified the riots in George Floyds name? I dont recall anyone here doing that.

But if you really want a difference, I guess I can explain the obvious for a sec.

One was mostly peaceful protests, stemming from minorities being egged on by a brutal murder of one of their own, where there was at least some kind of reasonable demand there they were protesting to “stop police brutality” and to treat blacks equally because their lives also at least “matter”... but then leading to scum among them turning violent, and other scum with them taking advantage to loot.

The other was just dumb stupid people brainwashed and egged on by the President of the U.S. being a sore loser. Where the demand was f*** democracy we are attempting a coup. Everyone of them scum, not a single one peacefully protesting. And why? Because.... they love racism and fascism. They love Trump.

So yeah almost exactly the same.

Now we can argue the scale and length of these things were very different, and certainly there the BLM riots were a much bigger problem, no doubt. But just put into perspective what was going on in both situations. Its really not difficult to get.

We can start with the mayor that called the cops off and allowed the 6 city blocks to be occupied for weeks, or the mayor that went down to the federal courthouse and stood with the rioters.

I'm being specific to the ones in Washington, facing the same police service.

Ok, how many BLM supporters were shot and killed in that protest?

how many police were murdered at the blm protests? zero?

oh right that doesn't matter anymore. trumpers went from "blue lives matter" to "f*ck the police". and their shameless enablers (you, s&m) work super-hard to distract everyone.

just get it over with and join the barking retards in blaming antifa for the obvious coup attempt, like everyone knows you're going to do. do you really think you're fooling anyone? facepalm

Trump being held directly responsible.

When a grieving father yells "tear it all down" preceding a riot, it is argued he is NOT responsible for inciting it.

Not trying to defend Trump here, just saying.
