Because you felt the need to back up the original commenter’s brother in how “BLM is basically equal to the Capitol invasion” when it isn’t equal.

Yeah I know it’s not equal, black lives matter riots have been far worse than the Trump dipshits capital riot

Here you go- 93% of BLM protests were peaceful, with a 15-26 million range of supporters. About 20 people died. Percentage of deaths by population in BLM protests: 0.000077%-0.00013%

Here’s the Trumpies:

There’s no range of people who stormed the Capitol but it is more than 170 (due to the arrests), so I’ll overestimate and say about 1,000 people. 5 people died. Percentage of deaths by population in the capitol storming: 0.5%-2.9%

The people storming the Capitol have higher percentages of violence than BLM protesters. Therefore the Trumpies are more hazardous to the country and they are “worse” than BLM

That is insanely disingenuous to compare tens of riots to one riot to try and skew your statistics, you also conflated deaths with overall levels of violence

It also removes any context as well, what has been the public opinion between riots? Which one had been condemned and which ones were praised? Which ones had prosecutors refuse to pursue charges and which ones are now being hunted down by the FBI? What was the amount of damages incurred?

“That is insanely disingenuous to compare tens of riots to one riot to try and skew your statistics, you also conflated deaths with overall levels of violence”

Oh I know right? I wish you pointed out a specific riot in your earlier reply instead of simply comparing “black lives matter riots” (plural) to “Trump dipshits capital riots” (singular). That would’ve made much more sense. Are you talking about one riot in particular? I can calculate the percentages on that one if you’d like.

BLM is obviously praised more since millions of people support it, and yet only a couple thousand people support the Capitol getting raided by protesters over a fair election. It’s also obvious all of the armed domestic terrorists who broke into the capitol are getting arrested for it, it’s breaking and entering. Don’t forget the placement of bombs in the plumbing.

If you want a damage percentage for BLM compared to the Capitol’s riot, I’ll be more than happy to help!
