Telling a cancer patient to fight like hell is a bad analogy here. In football, when a coach tells a team to fight like hell, the team typically goes out and fights like hell, albeit within the confines of the game. That's actually a better analogy, but not for the reason you two think it is. Just like the football team who is primes up before a game, the crowd at Trump's rally was primed up. People knew this was sifferent from just another Trump speech. The FBI had warned of possible violence the day before Jan. 6.

Trump knew some were armed. He said he had been cheated out of an election. He told them to fight and be strong. He said you don't win through weakness. Then he said he would go to the Capitol with them. Fo what reason? To fight! It's so obvious.

No one in blm antifa did not attempt to stop the peaceful transfer of power , end democracy or subvert the will of the people.
The actions and charges are not the same.

Told them to be peaceful and told them to go home. No guessing about it.

Nah, what’s good for one is good for the other. Can’t behave, expect the same consequences. Poor entitled BLM/Antifa aren’t exempt.

Nah, you just want it to be a bad analogy, and it’s not just football where coaches tell their team to fight like hell.

If the FBI was so concerned they would’ve been better prepared. Because Trump would’ve gone to protest peacefully and patriotically, but yeah, he surely planned to overtake Capitol police and take their guns, lol.

And many of the BLM protestors have gone to jail.

Also, hypocrisy would mean we were fine with the violence of the BLM riots. I do not know any of us on this forum who have said that. Certainly none in this thread. If you start rioting and damaging buildings and beating cops, you deserve prison. Period.

You want his medical records from his injuries? His body cam footage isn't enough for you to see his injuries from the Trump mob?

Nah, as that doesn’t prove because Trump incited the riot, but interesting strawman argument, instead of once again providing proof that he did.

The eyewitness accounts and video show no proof to because Trump inciting the riot.
Do you deny the rioters were Trump supporters?
