You do see a difference in the protests, right? The protests against lockdowns didn't include looting, arson, rape, murder, and multiple murdered police.
Here, have a small sample,

I can keep going. It is utterly dispicable. There's a long long list of videos with these "peaceful protestors" in action. Everyone has a camera, and all of this is available for you to see, if you only choose to see it.
- pbourke 6y ago> Protesters set homeless man’s belongings on fire This was staged by infowars. I cannot be arsed to look at all of your videos. The right wing lockdown protests had a strong smell of AstroTurf about them: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/21/us/politics/coronavirus-protests-trump.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/21/us/politics/coronavirus-p...

- pbourke 6y agoI have seen the video in question. It’s tragic. You neglect the hundreds of thousands of people who turned up in peaceful protests around the world over the last week. These people are seeking positive change within their communities. Your attempt to mine a simplistic “protests bad” narrative from a complex event is done in bad faith.
