I was. Most of the victims during the protests were black. You cherry picked quotes from the article to support your views.
The reality is that a peaceful BLM protest was dispersed with greater violence so that the president can pose across the street with a bible, than a mob attacking and storming the Capitol.
- wolco3 6y agoMost of the deaths occurred outside of the capital. Many were caused by blm protester attacking another.

But most people will probably turn a blind eye because it doesn't fit the narrative (blm riots = peaceful protests, capitol riots = domestic terrorism) Makes me chuckle that the result of this + the deplatforming of most of the opposition will only result in even more extremism and separation in the US. I guess you reap what you sow
