    So you’re telling me the BLM protestors breaking windows, trying to set fires and throwing rocks at police wanted to set the whole city on fire and kill all the police? And so when it came to their charges, they just got let go? Like c’mon… Are you even going to talk about this from a legitimate perspective, cause otherwise you’re just helping the Jan 6 attackers by being ficticios.

      This guy is going full reddit here. Comparing BLM to the insurrection, acting like they’re the same, and downplaying the insurrection.

      I notice that the centrists who call everyone who doesn’t worship Biden’s support for genocide a Trump supporter are silent here.

      This is what "both sides"ing actually looks like. This is what Trump support actually looks like. Centrists don’t care in this case because they only oppose those to their left.

        You are so far from reality… If you call yourself a Democrat and Democrats are supposed to be educated, then Trump will certainly win and it will be your fault and people that circle jerk the same kind of reactionary non-educated and emotionally challenged ideas you spread. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that in the end the Russian trolls aren’t laughing right now at how easy it is to manipulate some American democrats by just targeting their emotions and feelings when they won’t do any basic research beyond on how they feel.

        No where did I try to equate the two. Laws are indifferent to your feelings of when violence and crime are justified. My point was that some BLM protesters doings something doesn’t mean that they are guilty of it. In fact, my argument was in support of peaceful protesters. The only way you could be offended is if you are in fact a violent protester who is upset that violence isn’t allowed when it makes you feel good.

          “The only way you could be offended…” lmfao. Get off your high horse bud. And no your arguments are not about peaceful protest but you already know this.

            You’ve got an agenda that has nothing to do with being honest and transparent. Instead resort to ad hominem attacks and hyperbole.
