    They key difference I see is that at least Antifa/BLM had an ideological drive, a message they believed in. This time its just a cult of personality.

    You've gotta admit Americans get treated differently based on the colour of their skin; And to suggest otherwise, after 2020 and yesterday, would be a level of naivety and self delusion usually reserved for European politics.
    It's hypocrisy, that's what it is, hypocrisy!

    Ever heard the thing: don't resist so you don't get shot?
    That only counts for black people. White people can just openly resist cops to vandalize the democratic core of the nation and walk away.

    A black man walking away would still get shot 7 times in it's back, and the cop would get cheers for it.
    A cop having a little oops and shoot a white terrorist 1 time when she's not backing down, and the poor person is being put on administrative leave.


    You can't explain the difference!
    I can... the name is: systemic racism.

    Did they? Or did you perhaps forget to add the number of police who were targeted and killed by those protesters. Perhaps you aren't aware? But I doubt it given the response elsewhere. Was there perhaps some arson, or looting that didn't get fully captured in the filming from tuesday? Tell me again how many BLM protesters were shot by the police. And then compare that number to the number of police who were shot and killed by your pet rioters and looters. And tell us again that when those folks attacked the court houses and federal buildings that they did, where were you again?

    hmm... so BLM and ANTIFA looting, rioting, assaulting and killing the police, in your mind was "justified". got it.

    We have plenty of examples of white, middle class folks gunned down by police. We just don't riot about it. And if they ever get mentioned, ie the guy in Dallas, the guy in Phoenix, or any of the other hundreds of cases, folks don't riot, or loot. Y'all do, because it stokes fear. And frankly, we have a ostensibly white middle class women dead on the capital hall. Will lefties write songs about her? Four dead in Ohio was a bid hit in the day.... But here, you have nothing? If we applied the liberal idea here, isn't she just a patriot who was gunned down by the oppressors?

    You want to believe that these protesters are terrorists now. And if not explicitly stated by you, it does seem a part of your narrative. Your theory here seems to be, who cares if the election was tampered with, the outcome was something you could live with. Did it ever occur to you, or your team, that taking to the streets when you get upset was the example these folks might have been under the working theory that you'd applaud them for having used your tactics? No? The fact that suddenly you folks can juts pivot on a dime here is laughable given the months and months of y'all demanding that we ignore the insurrection that you folks engaged in. Hmm.. perhaps you just didn't do your homework at all....

    More white people die by cops every year. White people have been killed by cops the exact same way as George Floyd. George Floyd was not innocent, he violently resisted arrest while being high out of his mind. He was also positive for covid and out spreading it around making him a terrorist in my eyes. He was not tortured, he was detained using standard techniques. The white person killed at the capital was a protestor exercising her American rights, not a terrorist. Sheesh. Talk about drama queen.

    Also,
    Yes we know. For someone as heavily indoctrinated as yourself, empirical evidence rarely means anything.

    If you think the protesting last year was because of one person then I guess your post makes sense. Perhaps you should read up a little more about the protests to understand them.

    I agree with statement in the image. But one must understand that most of it was self inflicted. Per capita crimes by blacks are way out of proportion to per capita crimes by whites. It is tragic but it is the truth.

    The fact you think is self-inflicted shows that you don't agree with the statement in that image.

    But that might lead to a change in attitude, which is probably an unacceptable outcome for mikey.

    Some 60 officers got hurt in them fascist riot at the Capitol, and 1 got murdered. That's a predominantly white group of fascists targeting and resisting the police, when they broke in and entered the capitol to terrorize elected officials. That's on far beyond a bit of looting and some arson BLM did. We all know how cops behave against black people. They shoot them even in the back up to 7 times if they resist by walking away. And people like you cheer that cops do that. And cops were able to shoot them by the dozens at a time, when the violent fascist mob left the Capitol. Didn't happen. It can only be explained that cops approach black people far more aggressive.

    %-wise to the amount of back people vs white, far more black people get killed by cops.

    He was already handcuffed, laying face down, and did not move at all for all the 9 minutes that the white cop needed to torture him to death.
    What you put up here is a white fascist fake news.

    You can put up any cute signature you can think of.
    Doesn't put a dent into the fact that 100's of violent predominantly white people refused to obey the commands of the 100's of cops, resisted, beat the crap out of 60 of them, killing 1, and got away with it where only one of them got shot ones.

    A black man walking away would get shot 7 times.
    The difference how cops deal with white people vs black is massive.
    Those are the facts.

    Black people: Don't resist, don't get shot
    White people: Do whatever you want, if you get shot, we'll cry, weep & shout the unfairness from the rooftops.

    The concept is wrong form the beginning: were black Americans ready to do that?
    I don't think black Americans were going to support Trump.

    This to say that everything should be contextualized.

    Reading this last post of yours I'm pretty sure you are not going to retract your false statements because you simply have no idea what either you or I are saying.

    False statement # 3: "you accused Floyd, when he already was tortured to death to inspire riots." I never said anything like that. Floyd was dead and did nothing. The reaction of the media is what inspired the rioting.

    Hmmm calling for the arrest of public officials for discharging their legal and constitutional duties...this sounds suspiciously like a call for violent overthrow of the government, or at the least mob rule. Which is it?
