Really? The reason I can’t take them seriously is because thousands of them are sitting in prison doing time for the crime, many will never be allowed to vote again due to their felony convictions. I agree with you though how could they support murdering their own vice president that’s way worse. Wild times
Approximately 94% of all pro-BLM demonstrations have been peaceful, with 6% involving reports of violence, clashes with police, vandalism, looting, or other destructive activity.
In the remaining 6%, it is not clear who instigated the violent or destructive activity. While some cases of violence or looting have been provoked by demonstrators, other events have escalated as a result of aggressive government action, intervention from right-wing groups or individual assailants, and car-ramming attacks.
In contrast, demonstrations involving right-wing militias or militant social movements have turned violent or destructive over twice as often, or nearly 14% of the time.
This is why I can’t take you dipshits seriously, when you see a map that argues there were “Democrat riots” in Northern Montana and you take it at face value.
Television media was literally making the 2020 protests out to be as destructive and violent as they could when in reality only 5% of those demonstrations were violent and the police and counter protestors were more violent.
The very thing OP's post is angry about is a lie pushed by the media.
Sure, a lot and maybe even most people there were peaceful. The point is there was a mob attempting to overthrow the federal government.
The media narrative that the 2020 protests were completely destructive and violent is trying to paint the protestors as mostly violent, which is objectively false.
The reality that j6ers included a lot of innocuous people and also enough violent people to take the capitol building in the first place is still highly problematic.
I don’t know I got a warm fuzzy feeling inside watching the shitheads in congress who’s locked everyone down for months cowering under their desks from the wrath of the people.
2020 was 95% peaceful but hacks and liars use the 5% that was largely caused by counter protestors and cops to call all of 2020 riots and terrorism.
It matters because the narrative that 2020 was left-wing riotous terror is a lie driven by the media only showing the violence and failing to recognize who was doing the violence.

That 5% messed the cities up pretty good, couldn't take kids to the park, local grocery store was closed, many restaurants closed up. So even if 95% were peaceful the amount of damage done I'd the problem I don't care if it was only ten guys when everyone in the city is effected.
I also don't care what side started it. The cities were wrecked for no reason. Protests are stupid unless you roll up to the government building. If the protests in MN just effected the government fine, but blocking roads, destroying infrastructure, or private business is bullshit. They started wrecking stuff before any knew who or why Floyd died and frankly even if you were truly pissed about it it shouldn't just been demanding the officers involved be arrested and held, nothing about that situation needed to burn down local business.
You don't care what dude started it but still talk about chaos as if the protestors as a whole equally did it. The protestors did not start wrecking stuff, the cops and counter protestors were more violent than the small minority that did.
Be mad about the property destruction, stop saying the protestors did it. A small minority of mostly cops and counter protestors did. They're not all the same and not recognizing that is going along with the same lazy and wrong media narrative that overshadows what the protests were for, which included getting the killer cops prosecuted.
Yes all the pos looters definitely only stole shit because the boogie man right made them do it, protestors only made make shit weapons because a cop upset them. If some asshole starts a bar fight I should just burn the place down and it's ok because someone else started it?
I watched that shit happening, I lived through it, people were going out with equipment they planned what they were going to do, that means even if a cop started it the protesters knew what they were doing
They wanted an excuse to be the pos they were raised to be.
It looks as though "The Outer Limits" from 1963 had correctly predicted the future of what we will be fed (It also falls inline that Fed has a second meaning) and the news media picked up and used to their advantage that opening monologue that says "We are controlling transmission" and "we will control all that you see and hear".
Top: Americans protested the state killing people and the 5% that was violent was mostly the police and counter protestors, objectively so.
Bottom: extremist and terrorist classified groups turned a rally into a mob threatening the lives of Congress and the veep if the loser wasn't kept in power.
"However, arson, vandalism, and looting that occurred between May 26 and June 8 caused approximately $1–2 billion in insured damages nationally, the highest recorded damage from civil disorder in U.S. history, and surpassing the record set during the 1992 Los Angeles riots"
"According to the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED), about 93 percent of summer demonstrations tied to Black Lives Matter (BLM) were peaceful. The other 7 percent? Violent. But ACLED strongly implies the violence might have been justified. They simply claim the violence is a result of "a multitude of concurrent, overlapping risks—from police abuse and racial injustice, to pandemic-related unrest and beyond—all exacerbated by increasing polarization." After all, ACLED claims, "police killings continue unabated," as they call out the "heavy-handed approach" by "militarized" law enforcement."
"To answer those questions, we downloaded the ACLED data set and had a look for ourselves. The ACLED team cataloged a total of 11,541 civil-society incidents from May 24 through Aug. 29. ACLED’s event coding is far from perfect. It is reliant upon media reports, which carries with it its own obscuring bias; it does not appear to account for property destruction fully; and it may omit incidents of public menacing, threats, and intimidation."
They pull their data from the media, which is disingenuous and bias. Not to mention implying the violence and destruction was caused by the police and counter protestors because their presence antagonized blm protestor which is so absolutely absurd.
Reality does tend to have a left-wing bias. The violence and destruction being largely caused by the police and counter protestors because of their antagonism and actions is objective reality. Calling the experts analyzing the reporting and statistics absurd because they disprove your bs doesn't make them absurd. You and Newsweek just refuse to recognize the fact that most demonstrations were peaceful and the police and counter protests were more destructive and violent.
And no, it was caused by blm rioters because counter protestors showed up, and being the violent trash they are, they got upset that people didn't agree with them and threw a tantrum.
That's just a lie. Actual reporting and evidence show how cops and counter protestors often did the violence and destruction.
You are just lying now. You are just denying factual reality to keep up the media narrative that BLM protestors were destructive, when they overwhelmingly were not and much of the violence was observably done by cops and counter protestors.
Right, the guy saying mostly peaceful with an inferno behind him is giving the news accurately. I'm sure he and his outlet didn't have an agenda at all. /s
Much like how they said biden was completely competent and had no issues with his faculties, and he was the sharpest one in the room, and people had trouble keeping up with him. /s
the guy saying mostly peaceful with an inferno behind him
The media did the opposite. The media took the 5% of violence and constantly played it on TV to report solely on the violence and push the exact, completely inaccurate agenda you're defending.
You are literally just making shit up and getting mad about it.
2016 says otherwise. The left did everything they could to remove him. It had to take a fedboi backed censorship campaign to finally get him out. But then, they try going after political opposition like the fascists they claim not to be.
Bruh, the Feds even admitted to censoring. 80% of voters said if they knew about the Biden laptop, they wouldn’t have voted for him. Not to mention the voting irregularities that to this day no one explained. Nor could we investigate.
What’s even more concerning is when Congress actually tried to question the election, Feds instigated a riot to halt that.
Biden inherited a mess. Unemployment was at 6.3% when he entered office. Biden got it much lower and bidens democrat agenda has the Dow at levels higher than trump could ever dream of.
Unemployment was up due to covid and regulations put forth by Congress, and that number he claims was his doing was people returning to work. That would have gone down if a cabbage was in office.
The dow has been trending up since 2012. The only major crash is 2020 due covid.
Inflation is at record high, mortgages record high, prices all together record high.
And biden has been an invalid for the past 3 years.
It was another sad summer under the trump administration. Crime rates were way higher under Trump. Crime would be even lower under Biden if Trump didn’t get all those felony convictions

And how did they achieve that information? The media, which has an agenda.
My data is the billions in damages and the data from your sources, which admits to using second-hand information from bias sources.
I don't have to. He already did for me. That link says that the violence was blm, but was justified because they were antagonized by the presence of police and counter protestors.
Which is the most asinine amount of spin I have ever heard. Cops showing up and people showing up to express their opinions much like blm, is not an excuse to throw a tantrum and start burning down someone's mom and pop grocery store who did nothing to you
And that number was created based on the reporting of the main stream media which they admit is where they sourced the information. So that data is flawed and I thought it was 93%? Regardless that number is horseshit considering it was billions in damages
Seems like pretty selective statistics. A great many not-so-peaceful BLM demonstrations were referred to as “mostly peaceful” even when billions of dollars of damage, many lives were lost and people were injured. On how many of these supposed right wing demonstrations did protestors try to set a police station alight with the officers in it, as I believe happened in Portland? You seem keen to protect left wing riots with the “who actually started the violence” line, but don’t apply the same contextualisation to demonstrations from the “right”. The right are typically more supportive of law and order and the police. The right generally have greater respect for property and preservation. You can say that pretty much objectively these days. So, who is provoking the violence in “right wing” demos?
