Let the people protest, right?

Why is a politician's safety more important than a bystander on the street in Portland, Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle?

I won't take any of this seriously until I see people in the streets carrying pikes.
I think you're making incorrect assumptions that people who are condemning the looting, rioting and insurrection coup happening today haven't also been condemning the looting and rioting that has occurred elsewhere, or that they're not able to distinguish between peaceful and lawful protesting from looting, rioting, and insurrection coups.

The several people I've spoken to today about this, which includes conservatives, independents and liberals, know the difference and know which one to condemn regardless of the apparent political motives.

There was NOTHING patriotic about the imbeciles who stormed the Capitol.

Have you not seen these?
Where have you been? Facts don't matter anymore, the news media and politicians can create whatever fiction they want. If the news says what's going on is mostly peaceful, you better start repeating it, or social media might block you.

The last time you were talking about this was to maintain that the Proud Boys would only attack the Antifa, with all violence but self-defense. This time they went after the Capitol itself. After, of course, more harassment of citizens on the street.

A small scuffle? A woman died from a gunshot! Windows were broken. People had to evacuate.

He doesn't care about the 350 plus thousand who have died of Covid. Why should he care about one woman?

They already murdered one woman who was a Trump supporter. How many Antifa or BLM were murdered? They beat the police to a pulp and stood down. Yet Trump supporters are shot. Code Pink would invade the chambers to protest. No one killed there. They were lefties.. double standard . We get it and we will not forget the abuse of our own government.



So it's self defense if Kyle Rittenhouse defends himself from "Protesters";

it's self defense if the police shoot a black man who doesn't follow orders;

it's self defense if you shoot someone breaking into your home

BUT it's murder if it's a Trump Supporter breaking into the Capitol building housing the entire congressional delegation.


Okay I guess know who is not the party of law and order or even the rule of law.

OP, I wish you'd have made this a public poll so we could see who is "gleeful" and/or "justified" over the attempted coup of the U.S. government.

I find it confusing that you can't tell the difference.

Sad that there are so many people who disregard the U.S. Constitution and that so many people have been hoodwinked by the ultimate con man, Trump.

[quote=bu2;60081709]So far, I think its a good thing. But I don't know if there was damage./QUOTE]
Guess it's not a good thing, then, since the Capitol was vandalized. Or is that OK in Trump's Bizarro World?

Well, Trump is obviously mentally ill. And Biden won the election by 7 million votes.

Typical Trump apologist - blaming everyone but the architect of this insurrection himself.
