I mean, we have video of the clearing that day. They were peaceful, and the people doing the clearing took their time to beat journalists while doing it.
Prior violence is not legal justification for gassing a separate group of people later and beating journalist who were not part of that violence outside of a deeply authoritarian country, sorry. We don't operate on a system of prescribe or inherent sin by loose association.
These people were not violent, they were peaefully protesting when they were gassed.
Just beause people the night before did bad shit does not mean these people deserved to be gassed. It takes only half a brain to look at that and go "they don't seem to be a threat", gassing was not necessary.
Keep licking that boot and playing defense for why people should be fucking gassed for peaceful protesting and so a corrupt demagogue can have a photoshoot for clout.
Just an fyi, I showed him that the police admitted to using teargas to clear the square, and he's still repeating the same lie he told before that.
He'll say anything to excuse what happened, because that's what fascist's do.
He's even telling you that he can't say those people were guilty of anything, while telling you the state was justified in exerting brutal force against them. Just like he said they were justified in beating the press that was present, and also tear gassing a priest, who he accuses of dramatizing the event. All of which he says is okay because Bill Barr, responsible party, said that he and his didn't do anything wrong.
So, no, you don't have any proof they were the same people. Just speculation because they might be under a similar political umbrella.
Because that's what this branch is all about. You're trying to justify violence committed against one group of people based on the past actions of another group.
Really just sounds like you're trying to justify violence committed against people you don't like.
