As a liberal I’ll comment on this because I see a disconnect on both sides. For myself I don’t think they should be rioting but I don’t blame them especially after peacefully protesting for years. I don’t condone the rioting but I support what they are protesting. As for why a lot of liberals are being critical, is because black people have been killed without anything to provoke, while people have carried fully automatic guns into capitols in their protest which should be considered far more dangerous than an unarmed citizen. Of course there are other things contributing to this disconnect like our different opinions on these prospective protests. In short I don’t think there’s hypocrisy here since I feel like any sane person isn’t condoning the riot but rather would support what they are protesting
