- ttt0 6y agoYou surely did miss all those months of rioting, violence in the streets, shootings and burning cities to the ground.
- wonnage 6y agoYou equate looting a Target with parading around the Capitol with confederate flags

I don't care about Target, they can deal with it. But it ruined lives, some of which were lost, of many normal day to day people that are just like you and me.
- wonnage 6y agoI find it suspicious that you're continually drawing parallels between BLM protests, which were largely peaceful, with an armed insurrection in an attempt to overthrow an election, so I don't think we're going to get any further with this discussion
- ttt0 6y agoRight, largely peaceful. https://jonathanturley.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/CNN-Headline-Fiery-2.jpg https://jonathanturley.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/CNN-He... I happen to be of controversial opinion that the lives of normal people are more important than those of lying politicians, who provoke the violence among the former for their own political gains and profit.
- masonic 6y agoDid you somehow miss the May 30-31 attacks on the White House? Quoting from the Secret Service press release: "Some demonstrators repeatedly attempted to knock over security barriers, and vandalized six Secret Service vehicles. Between Friday night and Sunday morning, more than 60 Secret Service Uniformed Division Officers and Special Agents sustained multiple injuries from projectiles such as bricks, rocks, bottles, fireworks and other items. Secret Service personnel were also directly physically assaulted as they were kicked, punched, and exposed to bodily fluids. A total of 11 injured employees were transported to a local hospital and treated for non-life threatening injuries.” And yet they managed to control the scene with no injuries to rioters and only one arrest.
