    The summer riots included many acts of violence, taking over US territory and turning it into lawless zones, the burning down of police stations, rioters trying to overrun a federal court (the heart of democracy) and major vandalism. Are you saying that is Ok?

    I came pretty close to liking your post but couldn't quite pull the trigger. All I want is fairness. One of the reasons the Capitol Rioters got out of hand is that the precedent was set by the left that you could do all of this stuff and not have to pay a price for it because you would be referred to as "mostly peaceful protesters" and, if you got arrested for getting out of hand, the precedent was that it was OK for others to just bail you out. If the wacko lefties didn't have to pay a price for their summer long rioting then why should there be a different standard applied for the wacko righties?

    And, Bernie called for a revolution and one of his supporters took him up on it, went to Congress, and shot up Republicans. Bernie faced no investigations for his role in instigating his supporter so why should Trump?

    We should have come down hard on the summer rioters and we should have come down hard on the Capitol rioters. But, the left's hypocrisy doesn't work that way.

    Even more interested is the fact that the article you quote did not saying anything about Democrats, is says "Congress members in lockdown on January 6 say they didn't realize how 'bad' the insurrection was until 'much later' and quotes one Democrat and one Republican.

    The fact remains that they didn't think it was bad at the time until later, when Dems had a chance to grossly exaggerate it for political purposes, still not charging even one person with insurrection and yet they insist on calling it an insurrection anyway. Pence was a supposed victim and he has come out saying that it is way overblown, and yet Democrats think they can tell Pence what he should think of the matter.

    agree, i said that at the time the police station was allowed to burn, that only encouraged future similar events

    you can't let crime happen, or more crime will happen (even if one agrees with what they are upset about)

    BLM is based on a lie. There is no more police violence against blacks as there are whites. There is ZERO data proving there is systemic racism or extra violence against black people. Total fabrication, but a bunch of sheep fell for it, and it cost us BILLIONS and many innocent lives. The capital riot cost peanuts and only 1 innocent life. Congress was doing their jobs the same day. The scars from BLM can be seen in every city and the violence hasn’t stopped. Now theft is legal in many Leftist cities because the idiots are emboldened. You can walk in and just take what you want and the cops will watch. Glad I live where I do.

    is there a level of police violence against blacks that is ok? as long as it does not exceed police violence against whites?

    black lives matter is based on a truth : that the violence against blacks is excessive. if someone thinks that violence against whites needs attention they are welcome to form their own group.

    the cancer society, for example, is not saying that heart disease is good, but that by limiting their scope there is a better chance of success.

    More like the wheels of political . machination take a while at time to seize on an opportunity. If Justice had anything to do with it the left wouldn't be having a giant s___ fit over it.

    No, I'm not but this thread is about the insurrection. Talking about the summer riots is comparing apples and oranges not matter what "parallels" your throw out there.

    Prove it. Percentage wise it's not even close and to think otherwise is turning a blind eye to one of the real problems in America.
    I don't know where you're getting your info but it denies reality.
    Right, because that's what the important thing is. Never mind that democracy would be gone.
    And some in Congress are still doing their jobs to get to the root cause of the insurrection. (Spoiler alert: It's Trump)
    Not true
    (sigh) Not true

    Carlson had a story last night on a guy who was all over the place at the demonstration- yelling that the had to go into the building, over and over. One video shows people around him saying NO! NO! Some were saying "This guys a FED!"

    But he persisted. This is equivalent to inciting a riot or crime, and thus IS a crime. The DOJ knows who he is. First put him on a "most wanted" list- but then scrubbed that. Never arrested, just disappeared.
    Kind of like the guy in the bar at in an old western trying to incite people to become a lynch mob. I'd bet the guy was a dem/DOJ operative there to promote and insure that people did trespass in the capitol- to set up the charges. That's not without precedent, been done many, many times by Fed officers.

    While one would prefer to give everyone the benefit of the doubt on such questions, the record of the dems over the last 5-6 years has left little doubt as to the complete absence of character. Biden commits many federal crimes every day now- violating the US Code for immigration, and that fact is neither recognized by the left or prosecuted. When people think laws don't apply to them- they are capable of anything.

    Well, that is an actual fact so nothing to argue. It’s on video.

    If you're saying the police trampled her, that's a lie. The crowd did it. Get your facts straight.

    Holy crap, you compare a retail store laptop to the speaker of the house's laptop as if they contain similar data?
    Do you think a Target store possibly has US gov't information on it? Holy crap.

    And no one but you thinks a burning target is a peaceful protest. wow!!

    They aren't investigating crap. They are holding a show trial in an effort to distract the gullible from Joe's jaw dropping levels of stupidity and corruption. The FBI already in estimated and found nothing.
