BINGO . . . DING DING . . . BULLSEYE. The template was made, and though the riot was a tepid imitation of what was lauded as righteous "protests" in Seattle and Portland and "unrest" in Ferguson, et al, it was framed as a near overthrow of the U.S. government, a destruction of the country, one of the most dangerous moments in our history. |

Per participant, far more
And No president encouraged rioting in the case of BLM, the former guy had participants "standing back and standing by" waiting to participate and then sat watching on TV.
And if you want to claim it's not the party of white supremacy then why did Jenna Ryan, a rioter from Texas, claim (incorrectly) "Definitely not going to jail, I have blonde hair, white skin, a great job, a great future and I'm not going to jail. Sorry to rain on your hater parade. I did nothing wrong"
Because of course blonde hair and white skin makes you above the law, that's for those people.............. |

"Per participant, far more"
Since they murdered zero people, I'd be very interested to see your math. I agree that per participant is a good way to compare, but the January 6th rioters murdered exactly zero people. And the BLM rioters murdered some.
Trumps exact words were to go to the capital "peacefully and patriotically". That's exactly, precisely, what he said. Not sure how that's inciting a riot.
Many, many elected democrats supported the BLM riots. as did many in the media.
"And if you want to claim it's not the party of white supremacy then why did Jenna Ryan"
(1) is one idiot Republican speaks for the whole GOP, can I say that the BLM rioter who killed a black cop, speaks for you? Or the guy who shot Rep Scalise, does he represent the entire democrat party? Do you hear how idiotic that sounds? That's your logic.
party of white supremacy - cut taxes for blacks, ushered in record low black unemployment, increased funding for black colleges, championed criminal justice reform, advocate for school choice, all things that disproportionately help blacks. If we're white supremacists, we're really bad at white supremacy, because what we want is for blacks to escape the cities and climb the economic ladder. |

Pete doesn’t see the difference between people protesting the government(and yes I think they went too far)for whatever reason and people attacking, assaulting, inconveniencing their fellow citizens, vandalizing and destroying their businesses or homes and generally being public menaces
