Anybody that riots is an idiot. I think most of us agree with that.
It’s more upsetting to me when it is done to random businesses and people that are just trying to live their lives.
The crooks in Washington don’t get a lot of sympathy from me. They let the riots go on all summer and in some cases (Kamala) even bailed out the rioters, destroying people’s lives. Now they want to have law and order. The hypocrisy is at an all time high.

Now they want to have law and order. I assume you don't approve of a President who creates a dangerous situation. That somehow seems worse than anything Kamala did.
I would hope all want law an order, but since more violence is planned by the extremists involved in the DC violence, we know that is not true.
While property damage this summer did cause great harm, note that the DC Capital assault was aimed at the Congress and threatened their lives. In all those summer riots not as many police were injured as in this mob assault on Congess. 100 officers suffered injury, some very serious. Note also those summer riots occurred not due to speeches at a rally or by planned action by extremists but almost entirely by emotional response to black lives lost to controversial and in some cases clearly excessive police violence.
Those summer riots were condemned almost immediately by Democrats, including Kamala, who did support the protest, NOT the resulting riot. Trump took a week to condemn the DC assault.
I can see how you support a peaceful rally and protest, which no doubt attracted some caught up in later violence that were relatively innocent. Most avoided actually entering the Capitol. Some of that due to the police protecting the Congress...
However, that rally was an event intended to intimidate Congress, invited known extremists, spoke to them in florid rhetoric to create a mob. Actually sent them on the march.
I did not see Kamala or any other politician on the left in Washington do that or cause the summer harm.

Oh I see so SUDDENLY NUMBERS ARE THE DECIDING FACTOR. Keep moving those goal posts....... Since you miss them so widely, no need. When looking at the US government under attack and an attempt at the mayor"s doorstep, the difference seems clear. Seems to me taking over six square blocks of Seattle, not allowing local law enforcement or federal authorities to enter and installing your own self styled government might be just as bad, if not worse. Then again maybe I am missing something or possibly you are just a moron. |

Seems to me taking over six square blocks of Seattle... You really saw danger to the nation there? That was more like the sit in occupations in the 60's. Very little threat to life. It was more an illegal street fair than a revolution. Authorities had a chance and took it to defuse the situation with minimal harm done. Seattle, Washington. Washington DC at inauguration, extremists, encouraged and led(?) by the President, the same? |

Sweep, they called it the "summer of love." Only two people were shot and killed there. It was mostly peaceful.

How many buildings were burned or pillaged as Democrat mayors and governors allowed their political allies to run amok this summer? What was the $ damage inflicted by BLM/Antifa compared to the Trumpers? Give us your estimate of THAT metric please 00. I speculated at 1000 to 1, but admittedly that was a wild guess. I may well be too low on that. What's your guess? |

I a totally spontaneous, unplanned act, a BLM rioter threw a Molotov cocktail (that he just happened to have on him for completely unrelated and innocent reasons) at police.  |

But anyways, as a glance at the pictures will tell you, these are the GOOD people doing these things, so we don't need to be getting all hysterical and de-platforming anyone based on any of that. It was a good thing for the various Democrat office holders to allow their allies to just blow off a bit of steam.

You want photo evidence from DC?
Just watch some news somewhere other than FOX.
You'll miss the latest Hunter Biden news, but don't worry, Hannity will have it on later.

Just to give you one piece of evidence that things are not the way you are told they are, nor the way you like to believe they are: As far as I know, the only thing I have watched on Fox for many years now is NFL and college football. I have never in my life deliberately tuned into to any Fox news or politically oriented Fox show...ever. FOX is dumbed down like all other TV. I would., in fact, venture to guess that you have watched more Fox news than I ever have, given that my lifetime total is a small number of accidental minutes. By the way, I'm waiting for your estimate on the ratio of BLM/Antifa riot damage $ to Trumper riot damage. I know you want to avoid this, but I am going to stay on you about it. Of course the precise ratio would be hard to measure, so I'm only expecting a rough ballpark guess. |
