    Just a comment about lack of arrests. Typically you don’t arrest in riots until you have to and have the resources to do it. They did not have near enough people to secure the building let alone start taking two officers off line per arrest. Just not possible based on poor planning. All of the tac teams would have gone into protection mode as that is the most important.

    The dissembling is fascinating. Raises so many questions.

    And who am I?

    People keep acting as though I'm some monster. Yet, here I am condemning the violence which is more than many of you can say when the shoe is on the other foot.

    It is being reported that some antifa members infiltrated the protest. If anything like a TV is missing, it was antifa.

    Glad to see you're finally up in arms about an unarmed citizen being killed by police. Keep this same energy from now on.

    If those rioters actually barged aka trespassed into federal buildings while high level employees were in there despite being told to stand back, sure. Fire away. Same thing goes for those armed hooligans in Michigan who angrily barged the capitol building because they *checks notes* didn't want to wear a mask and stay home. Fire away.

    As I mentioned earlier, its unclear to me what you are defending. Perhaps you can tell us? You seem very concerned that Donald Trump is being called an instigator and people are being unfair to him, that's about all I got. As far as I remember, people trying to explain the whys of past violence while not exactly cheering it on got more or less the same treatment as you, so I don't really see a double standard at work either.

    Some of you need this same energy for Antifa riots.

    The hypocrisy here is so astounding I have to believe most of you must use this forum as practice to write for The Onion.

    The lady that was shot, my god it is sad. At the end of the day, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Just a damned awful day...sorry for the curse, I can remove it if prompted.

    Why is ANTIFA so much more powerful and intelligent than the entirety of MAGA nation? Until MAGA can figure out how to prevent thousands of themselves from being dominated by four rando, anonymous cats cut from the goth team, I can't see how the right will ever be able to feed and clothe themselves again.

    Rioting is rioting. What makes this situation unique is that:

    1) It came at the direction of the President of the United States of America. Can you provide an example of a federally elected official directing Antifa to riot?
    2) It was SEDITION. These people were attempting to overthrow/interfere with the results of a free and fair election. Can you provide any examples of Antifa engaging in seditious activity?

    Your false equivalence is fucking bullshit and you know it. You've been supporting a treasonous scumbag and you need to come to grips with it.

    I check for Antifa under my bed before going to sleep every night. Often times I double check.

    I edited it. While we allow the use of mild swear words like damn we don't allow the use of God in conjunction with it. :)
