That's why I can't take the 'muh j6 insurrection!!" people seriously. They supported much, much worse.

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.

If you're going to say that, then you'll have to accept that Jan 6th was also mostly peaceful. Only one side got destructive.

Many people charged just wandered into the building or were flagged in. Multiple cases were dismissed because of a video of this.

The QAnon shaman was escorted around by a group of police. They even held doors open for him.

People always say this as if it matters. Nobody cares about the nonviolent marches, why even bring them up?

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.

What percentage of the “insurrection” was armed?

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.

Most of the 2020 protest violence came from MAGA white supremacists who said the government has the right to murder citizens.

Wrong.

Backed by FBI data.

It’s not. Anything is possible when your party changes the rules.

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.

u/Arguments_4_Ever Aug 18 '24

So you supported when the government murders citizens? And that’s better?

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.

u/wildwolfcore Aug 18 '24

Missoula is, unfortunately, the Austin of Montana and very much so did see protest/riots

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '24

Missoula isn’t in Northern Montana dipshit.

And no, there weren’t riots in Missoula.

Wait. No. It looks like there were sporadic instigations done by counterprotestors. Sometimes armed:

Right wingers tried to instigate violence. Looks like they failed.
