Have you heard about the federal courthouse in Portland that "protestors" laid violent siege to for weeks? If not ask yourself why you don't know.

If you think this is on the same level as the mob of violent insurrectionists who invaded (and planned to take hostages) inside the highest legislature in the land simply because "their guy" didn't win the election, I don't think there is anything I can tell you that would convince you otherwise. The Portland protestors were both less violent and actually had legitimate grievances (decades of police brutality and state violence against people of color).
- skinkestek 6y agoLet's add: Walking over to a patrol car and shoot the officer inside - execution style. Beating people from the other side to the ground. Shooting and killing at least one protestor. Burning down multiple buildings, stores as well as homes. All well documented. What happened on Capitol Hill is insane and should be an embarrassment forever. As should the "riots" last fall.
