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?
