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.
The new thing is when someone asserts something and another person brings up a similar instance when the other side partook in that same behavior it gets that “that’s just whataboutism” response.
But that’s a cop out because we evaluate situations and there merit by looking at equivalent scenarios and how they were received, so it’s not whataboutism, it’s comparing two instances of a similar scenario.
I never heard anything about competing statutes? I agree that the PA legislature gave some power to Boockvar, but when did they give her the power to make temporary accommodations under extreme circumstances? If it's true, I still don't like what happened, but my blame shifts from the PA SC to the PA legislature. And that would add to the blame that I already have against them for passing the act in the first place. Don't get me wrong-I'm okay with mail in voting And back in Oct 2019. no one thought mail in voting would be a wide spread phenomenon. Trying to set it up in less than six months-it's not going to be good.
