I see a difference in purposefully burning property. I see a difference in foreign nationals waving foreign flags in a protest about people being sent back to those very countries. (Personally, I don't buy the dollar amount cited for damages J6 knowing how over inflated everything is in DC. Hypothetically, the $2000 dollar damaged chair that's priced at $40 at Ashley Furniture: same chair.)
There's a legitimate point here. The government had TSA employees investigating people who were in DC that day. Here we have the state government doing what? We have people screaming "due process" for illegal immigrants and the same wasn't afforded to those on J6.
From where I stand I don't think I could stand idly and just watch folks attack LEO's: no matter what branch. I don't hang out with law enforcement folks. It's not that I don't like them. They have their job; let 'em do it.
The dichotomy. On J6 there were people "protesting" that were unhinged. There were also people there fully cooperating with the government officials and offering no threat. Yet, they were looped in together. Here we have fires and vandalism raging and these events are, once again, tagged as "peaceful protest." We're seeing the violence in these "peaceful demonstrations."
(While I don't know the validity, I find it ironic I'm seeing pictures of pallets of cinder blocks being dropped off in the LA area. Are they repeats of the same images from 2020? Or, the same thing happening again?)
I know this is somewhat petty but I'll say it again. I was DONE the day they destroyed the Hall's downtown (along with some other nice eateries.) In my book, that's not "free speech" any longer. It wasn't, and isn't, speech. It's uncivilized destruction. Yet another example of how "multiculturalism societies" don't work in the vast majority of situations.
