You decide: either attacking people with opposing political views is OK or it isn't. Dems seem to have a double standard.

That , is a very good question. At that age, I was working 55-60 hours a week to afford my hobbies and a house. Even now, at 51 , if I was off of work due to CV-19, I'd be up at my cottage riding ATV's, and enjoying the outdoors. Not going to riot night after night. WTF is wrong with these dolts ?

All Americans, eh? No. Seems you are doing your own bit of "revisionism".

This is why the dems ignoring the anarchists is dangerous; they are creating a tinder box and asking for escalations in violence.
Studies show that liberals are significantly more likely to have double standards.

What you say is true. Oregon is already trying to prosecute a conservative who is correctly pointing out that Oregon let many liberal protestors off for the same crime. That conservative might win his lawsuit.

We can have liberal chaos with one set of laws for one party and another for the other party OR we can have proper rule of law.

Looked to me like the Proud Boys were making a citizen’s arrest.

No one is saying the Civil rights protests were uncalled for..or the Boston Tea Party,

I think the disagreement here is that people don't think these insane riots and looting, Not Peaceful Protests, are a reasonable reaction.

Deaths due to Police brutality is terrible,..but the statistics are just not indicative of some National crisis.

To put these sporadic incidences on the same level of breaking free from British Rule or Equal rights to eat, vote, school, not get hanged is a HUGE Elastigirl stretch, imho.
