No one can refute what you just said.
You're 100% correct.

That is not what happened and you know it. What force?? Not one protester was armed. The BLM/antifa terrorists who attacked the White House, forced the President of the United States to be moved to safety, and committed arson on St. John's Church did more "treason". What about the terrorists who tried to shut down the Brett Kavanaugh hearings??? That is also "terrorism".

ARE YOU F'ING KIDDING ME DEMOCRATS!!
My point.

I have zero problem with the Jan 6 idiots getting whatever prison they have coming.

I just wonder why lefty trash is often ignored and allowed to commit felonies.

Oh lord....

Look if you believe racism doesn't exist, or it only exists as blatant bigotry that is now taboo* and has no sociological significance, it's no skin off my nose.

How about both? Why is the GOP afraid of 1/6 and the dems afraid of BLM?


These two silly parties.

GOP is not afraid of 1/6, they want a genuine investigation, but not a partisan political witch hunt which is what Pelosi is trying to set up. And BLM-Anitfa mass riots of 2020 need to be investigated at the same time

Oh, lord -- now you are going to be responsible for spreading the "Eating Doritos will give you brain cancer" theory* and possibly causing mass panic!

I hope you can live with the guilt!

The 1/6 rioters did not burn, loot murder. They were not even armed. Meanwhile the people that torched police stations and tried to burn court houses all over America, those people were armed.

Like so many other protests that turn into riots, people get caught up in the moment. They don't have any goals accept going along with the crowd. On 1/6, once people got inside the Capitol they came to their senses and stopped. Unlike the BLM riots where the rioters kept increasing their rage until they looted, burned and destroyed everything in sight.

I'm not saying the 1/6 rioters should not be punished, they should. However, their actions were child's play compared to the 600+ riots we saw from BLM and antifa, where people died, and entire city blocks were torched, and public buildings damaged or destroyed.
No Those who were in the group that "wander the halls and take selfies, sometimes talking them with smiling Capitol Police" did not break in, they were allowed in and the cops took them on a tour of the building. Big difference.
