Are people arguing that they were peaceful protesters and they did nothing wrong? Do you have a link to that?

I'm not sure what your point is.....there are people left and right that break the law.

When they do, they should be charged.

No, I think the difference is how each was perceived. 1/6 is referred to as America's closest call with a terrorist takeover, an insurrection, a violent attempt to overthrow all that is good and pure, AOC was in fear for her lifw (several blocks away). 10/15 (it's not even being called that) is just a few people who got out of line. No big deal. Buck up righties.


Neither were a big deal.

I checked and so far you are fairly correct.

Here is CNN writing articles about POTENTIAL right wing violence that then didn't occur.

Nothing on the clash yesterday though, here is another source link:

So wonder what’s going to happen. I am sure the left will find a reason to let them off.
It's an Insurrection.

Unfortunately we have 2 very different standards of justice in DC, if you're conservative, they throw you in jail without a trial and lock you up indefinitely. If you're a Lefty, they let you out, have a parade for you, and start sending money to you.

Where is it being said it was no big deal?

I heard them chanting 'Save the trees'...that was intimidating.

Arresting those on the left who riot means what these days?
If the pattern holds then many will likely be released without charges, even if it's known they committed felonies. Harris* will probably make a plea for donated bail money for the few who may be charged. Very doubtful that any of them will be imprisoned and remain there until their trial. When talking about leftist rioters, saying "they were arrested" is silly.

Do you think CNN will lead the news with the 10/15 Insurrection for 9 straight months?

That's the difference.

You are comparing the Interior Dept. to the Capitol.

Interesting.

Look at the difference in media coverage and lack of talk from the Democrat politicians. That’s the point.

If these were right wingers, the Democrats would all be screaming about white nationalists domestic terrorists being a threat to our democracy, etc.

Hopefully the FIB tracks down all the participants using facial recognition technology so their lives can be sufficiently ruined for desecrating a sacred govt building

With Brandon’s, oops I mean Biden’s weaponized and compromised FBI? That has as much chance of happening as snowballs chance in Miami in July.
