    Just to point out, there was nothing wrong with trying to find a state legislature to overturn their election.

    That is a fully legal and Constitutional process.

    The lines get a little blurred when there are protesters within a mob of rioters.

    The lines are extremely blurred. Protestors turn into looters at the drop of a hat.

    nope, just like at the Insurrection, those that protested outside and never participated in any way - those were protesters - once they crossed the line, they were insurrectionists

    Nope. I’m just out to discredit people who loot and riot over a justified police shooting where the felon in possession of a fire arm shot first. That’s simply not acceptable.

    No they weren't. It was more like a mob.

    Stop trying to change the topic.
    (Including politically-charged terminology in your analogies seems like an attempt to derail.)

    it's the same thing, one is only a peaceful protestor until they get violent... then one is a criminal

    If you're in a group of people and they are committing looting or unprovoked violence all around, and you do not get out of being in the midst of that group, then I think to some extent you have to be seen associated with what that group is doing.

    Is it entirely fair? No, but that is just pragmatic realism.
    Innocent people standing in the midst of criminals makes it more difficult for law enforcement and victims, because they have a harder time knowing who the criminals are.

    If a group of 3 people approach you and two of them attack you, it's fair for you to assume that the third person might attack you too, and that can affect your response.
    Just like police are forced to act differently when there are two looters in a large group, and they have to assume others in the crowd may be supporting the individuals in question. A small group of officers cannot go into the crowd without worrying they might be hindered or attacked.

    agree, the peaceful protestors were smart not to try to mingle with the insurrectionists, the ones that did not, were smart

    You can say all you want that there aint such a thing as a random anniversary of D-Day, but there is.
    France did not invite world leaders to join them om the 74th or 76th anniversary, just the 75th.
    That's the only reason why you got Donald attending a D-Day anniversary,
    because France and Donald didn't find other anniversary special enough, without a care in the world what you think.

    You discredit BLM and Antifa while they haven't done it. It's your right wing agenda of lies.

    Are you a bit upset that I noted that Donald only did something about D-day when the French invited him, and otherwise didn't do crap with it?

    I'm seeing hooligans do this. But I haven't seen Antifa and BLM leaders state that this must be done, like Donald and co moved their audience to have a "trial by combat" and "fight like hell or else lose your country". The claim BLM and Antifa are to blame is therefor still a false accusation. Your youtube vids don't debunk it.

    Clearly true. What kind of lawless heathens are these cities producing, and in such numbers. This to me is a Democrat media driven plague.

    "I will support the looters ’til the end of the day... Winning has come through revolts. Winning has come through riots." -Ariel Atkins (BLM organizer)

    BLM organizer who called looting ‘reparations’ doubles down (nypost.com)

    You are free to prove your point how this is an initiative of BLM and/or Antifa.

    The cofounder has already stepped down because the **** is hitting the fan soon. No one knows where the money is really going, but we “know”. BLM activists can’t be distinguished from rioters anymore. And the activists supporting the violence is too obvious to ignore.

    The 2021 event was a mostly peaceful protest compared to what happened in 2020 particularly in Washington DC on May 30, 31.

    Point remains, you can't prove this was a BLM / Antifa thing. It's just a baseless accusation for the sake to push a far right wing agenda who have a keen dislike for equal norms for black people.
