From the linked Wikipedia article about the Rodney King riots: "In another incident, the LAPD and Marines intervened in a domestic dispute in Compton, in which the suspect held his wife and children hostage. As the officers approached, the suspect fired two shotgun rounds through the door, injuring some of the officers. One of the officers yelled to the Marines, "Cover me," as per law enforcement training to be prepared to fire if necessary. However, per their military training, the Marines interpreted the wording as providing cover by establishing a base of firepower, resulting in a total of 200 rounds being sprayed into the house. Remarkably, neither the suspect nor the woman and children inside the house were harmed."

Thirty years ago. And this wasn't on a "high speed highway" it was on Florence Ave. And equating largely peaceful protests with the LA riots is really a mistake. The LA riots turned violent very quickly, while the BLM marches stayed peaceful by and large with the exception of right-wing agitators who started looting and fires under false flag operations.

  There are plenty of videos from the summer of 2020 showing BLM rioters attacking vehicles and their occupants.

    I searched for "BLM rioters attacking vehicle". The first result was an article about a driver being attacked and pulled from their vehicle. The protestors accused the driver of assaulting them before entering the vehicle. The second article was about protestors attacking a driver who attempted to drive through the crowd. All of the rest of the links in the rest of the page were about drivers running over protestors. Perhaps you could provide a link or two to back up your assertion.

        Here's a TL;DR of the links: [0] Guy gets into an argument with protestors, then crashes his truck. Protestors fight guy. [1] Guy exits vehicle and argues with protestors. Cop breaks it up before things get out of hand. [2] Guy (accidentally) runs over a cyclist at a protest. Protestors get angry and trash car. [3] Youtube takes down a video, puts it back up with age restrictions. In the two cases where protestors attacked a vehicle or its occupants either the driver already had an altercation with protestors or the vehicle struck a protestor. The original comment I was replying to implied that there was lots of footage of protestors attacking people in cars. This doesn't show any evidence of that. I still haven't seen any evidence that there is a problem of protestors attacking random cars and their occupants.

  Please stop gaslighting. Look at what happened after George Floyd. For example, DC had tons of violence, arson, burglaries, assaults, and so on (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/may/31/fires-light-up-washington-dc-on-third-night-of-george-floyd-protests https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/may/31/fires-light-...). In Portland, antifa-affiliated and BLM-affiliated rioters set buildings on fire, without caring about any occupants (https://nypost.com/2021/04/11/portland-ice-building-burns-amid-night-of-violent-protests/ https://nypost.com/2021/04/11/portland-ice-building-burns-am...). In Seattle, BLM rioters put posters around town encouraging people to commit crimes to tie up police resources (https://komonews.com/news/local/protesters-aim-to-tie-up-seattle-police-resources-with-nightly-marches https://komonews.com/news/local/protesters-aim-to-tie-up-sea...), and held twice daily blockades of infrastructure, including one incident where they trapped drivers in a tunnel. BLM activist even broke into homes in “white neighborhoods” and set fires in their kitchens with families sleeping in those homes (https://thepostmillennial.com/seattle-blm-activist-arrested-for-arson-and-burglary https://thepostmillennial.com/seattle-blm-activist-arrested-...). The George Floyd protests were not peaceful, and they were certainly far more violent than the Capitol riot since they very literally included orders of magnitude more violence, destruction, and death. A peaceful protest does not break the law. It does not try to subvert the political process we all follow via acts of violence to achieve a political end. These acts are technically terrorism, which is defined (https://www.dictionary.com/browse/terrorism https://www.dictionary.com/browse/terrorism) as follows: > the unlawful use of violence or threats to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or government, with the goal of furthering political, social, or ideological objectives.

Per-capita, the capitol riot is obviously more violent, and that's the only way it makes sense to measure violence. Otherwise I could say that ISIS members are less violent than catholics.
