i'm not downplaying the violence whatsoever. you are comparing two different situations. i'm not sure why you would even be comparing them....? and trump and bible was a photo op...he should be ashamed.
You're right, they're not comparable. The BLM riits lasted months and resulted in 100s of lost lives, millions in property damage, weapons used to attack officers, looting, etc...
And yet they had mainstream support and even bail funds set up.
pergaps you haven't been paying attention...i said earlier, to you...the very same thing, the summer riots went on too long...those riots destroyed property, monetary value.. this was an attack on democracy...not comparable.
Not trying to justify anything, it's terrible and stupid that some people took it upon themselves to make a peaceful protest into something else, just as happened during the summer riots.
Idk, I think there are a lot of parallels and double standards. Violence and protests, and storming of capitol buildings during the summer was confined...
They both are riots by people who felt their government failed them.
They have been demanding full audits, asking for courts to not dismiss cases and hear them, asking for election transparency and it has fallen of deaf ears.
Wanting a fair election is not an attack in democracy.
The appearance of unequal justice is what is making many people stand up and protest who normally never would. The fact that it appears that if you are on the left the law does not apply in the same way.
