Well, there doesn't seem to have been many thrown at the police. The retired fireman (!) that tossed one (hitting helmeted officers) has been arrested. I haven't seen that action linked to Officer Sicknick.


(Without being snarky and given the geography (rioters fighting outside and comparatively calm inside) I don't think there was much extinguisher tossing)

I wasn't the one making that comparison. It was the MAGA sheep saying nobody got arrested during the summer riots.

I simply stated the fact that thousands did. Take your issue up with the people who always use "but BLM" as their excuse.

Either you're being willfully ignorant or you don't know how to use the Google machine. Thousands were arrested as part of the summer riots. I believe the last count from the MAGA riot was 69.

Arrested <> prosecuted.

Most major cities due to political sensitivities ONLY prosecuted arsons and assaults.

Charges of rioting, looting, tresspass etc. were dropped.

I 100% agree with you that people saying there weren't arrests or prosecutions are incorrect.

But keep on with your "dindunuffin" defense of the "patriots".
I saw far worse than that all summer long from BLM and Antifa. Far worse!

They were all peaceful Riots, CNN said so, with a picture of a burning building in the backgroud. These guys can't even lie well, and their followers still believe them How much propaganda do you have to watch where you don't believe the event that is happening right in front of your eyes.

Remember this one in Seattle this past summer? Barely a peep from the mainstream media and the left about this. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if the leftists here were cheering it.

The irony of a bunch of angry 60 year olds crashing a party of a bunch of 60 year olds.

It was just a baseball bat the Atifa member used against the cop, hardly lethal force

That building was under lockdown since last March. All visitors were supposed to be accompanied by a congressperson or their staff member. She was crawling through a broken window to get onto the house floor.
