Other than political viewpoints, I don't really see much difference.

  BLM they had military out in full force, even though BLM was non-violent protests. Flip side this terrorism event was known to be coming and they did very little to prepare for it. Nor are they stopping it with any great haste.

    Well, now the National Guard has been deployed, so I suspect we'll soon see a sharp change in atmosphere

    The BLM riots cost about $1-2 billion dollars of property damage [1]. Taking as given the standard gov't value of life of $9M, this works out to 110-220 life equivalents. This would qualify the BLM riots as one of the deadliest terror attacks to ever happen on US soil.

    Hundreds of the BLM protests were violent (7%).

    > BLM they had military out in full force, even though BLM was non-violent protests. The military only became involved after local governments gave "protesters" space over multiple days and emboldened the idiots to the point local police were overwhelmed.
