    No one on this thread has condoned or supported the storm on the capital. You, and others like you, have looked the other way on the lawlessness from BLM & Antifa over the last 7 months ...and in many cases encouraged it. This is why many are pissed off. But keep telling yourself that your evil is more justified if it helps you sleep better at night.

    Yes, that red stylized "P" is their logo. I don't go on Parler but saw it elsewhere.

    Would you like to know (again) why one is worse than the other?

    And no one on here condoned the rioting that occurred after some of the BLM demonstrations. No one excuses rioting or looting. But there were plenty of people like you who tried to link the hundreds of thousands of peaceful protestors with the relatively small number of people who broke the law, many or most of whom were just street gangs and criminals who weren’t part of the protests. They showed up at curfew or after sundown and broke the law.

    The peaceful demonstrators were huge in number and committed to stopping police brutality, and I think that is what really bothers you.

    Your argument, though, is based on a false equivalence. I'm not referring to one group of rioters or the other; your expectation for one side ("no one has condoned") is non equivalent with the expectation that others speak out against an action. I also think that if you accuse someone of encouraging lawlessness, you ought include a quote. The lack thereof (further) weakens your argument.

    Ok. So your violence is excusable??? Got it

    Burning down police precincts, trying to burn down federal courthouses and 800+ armed anarchists barricading off 6 city blocks and claiming it as a different autonomy zone is not insurrection.

    Please send me the rule book because I’m not up to speed.

    Why do I do this? Look Black Lives Matter was formed and protested because as I am sure that you saw the shootings and deaths of black men and women by the police in a manner that can be identified as an execution. Now if this begins happening to white people and is done by the police then you can form a White Lives Matter and you can protest too. However, be aware that there will be some people that will find opportunity as you protest and they will do possibly illegal things. But it gets so much better, your legacy of fighting a definite wrong will be used by a mob of people trying to take over the Capitol and do harm to elected officials and you will be constantly brought up in message boards as one LAME EXCUSE FOR TRYING TO OVERTHROW OUR GOVERNMENT BY FORCE AND WHICH RESULTED IN MULTIPLE DEATHS AND ARRESTS.

    So when you are accused of "looking the other way" from the INSURRECTION BY TRUMP FOLLOWERS ETC, then you can use my example to show how really stupid it is that people keep trying to justify the common elementary school argument of "well you did this and that and all I did was try and OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT!

    The intent of the BLM marches was for a good cause - racial justice
    They were mostly peaceful with the violence occurring mostly during night hours mostly by criminals and opportunists

    The MAGA riot's intent was to overturn the results of a legal election - insurrection and never a good thing
    Their intent was violence (brought clubs, poles, pipe bombs, zip-cuffs, helmets)
    trump was the herd master

    To use an analogy, it's why felony murder is considered a much worse crime than involuntary manslaughter.

    I condemned the BLM protesters, and what happened this week.
    But this week is demonstrably worse. It’s not ok to loot and ransack businesses, they all deserved jail. But trying to attack the democratic institutions on which this country functions is another level of bad, crazy, undemocratic, dangerous...whatever word you want to put on it. Heck even republicans lawmakers are saying as much. Really not sure how it can be argued otherwise.

    You, and others like you, have looked the other way on the lawlessness from Trump and his administration over the last 4 years. And in many cases encouraged his behavior. Shrug.

    Show me the link to where that "different autonomy zone" had the next three people in the line of presidential succession in the building and I'll send you the link to the rule book.

    I've already acknowledged that because of Trump that's why we got Biden. I'm also confident that the Dems with their extremist will turn the country back just like Obama did when he had full control. It's a revolving door it seems like every two years the party in control loses. This will be no different.

    I saw that also. I really don't a huge shift happening for the Dems. As of his approval rating it just shows that he is a very popular President and most rational minded Americans with common sense don't falsely blame him for Covid deaths or classify him as a terrorist , only the radical leftist are.

    Those who stormed the capital were idiots. BLM and Antifa has caused more damage to our country in the last four years than any other group, I blame them and congress for this.
