If you weren't rabidly partisan you'd admit both the Floyd protests and the 1/6 protests were both mostly peaceful. If Antifa was there acting violently so were the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers at the Capitol. Hopefully Smith's report is released and we can get an idea of just how involved Trump and his Capos were in formulating their plans.
Just sayin'.
Already discussed how it's relevant.
"Nitpicking my framing" is a midwit way to admit you spoke out of your ass. I quoted exactly what you said and asked for a source. You backtracked and tried to bullshit your way out of it. Being an adult means being able to just say "Yeah, let me rephrase that." or something along those lines. Being stubborn and petty is not a good look.
Your recollection sucks then because that wasn't me.
This goes against what @Islam Imamate asserted though. He didn't say just some. Thank you for helping my point.
Taking the fact that the 1/6ers were on Government property interfering with Congressional duties into account. It's a bit disingenuous to expect the same Government response to State crimes as to a literal attack on our elected leaders.
Because they are only broadly similar events. See my previous post.
They don't need to be exactly similar. Property destruction, trespassing, larceny, etc. in support of political ideas is enough. One is a left wing movement and the other is a right wing movement. Both the level of accountability and the media narratives are vastly different between the two.
I already stated that 9/11 was a direct attack on civilians while 1/6 was a direct attack on our Democracy. That they showed up to attack the Capitol willing to use deadly force makes their intent moot.
I already stated the intention of murdering as many people as possible and fulfilling the goal is not the same as being armed and willing to commit murder but not actually doing it. This is not hard to differentiate
The big difference is that 1/6 was at the seat of our Government while our elected officials were conducting business.
Yes, I agree with that, but some of these people did attack with deadly weapons so there's at least a disregard for life even if you want to claim there was no intent.
The implication is that there's was leniency towards BLM protestors but I don't think you've effectively made that case.
I never claimed it was a quote though, don't know where you got that impression.
I don't think they ever got that back from the lady that said she was going to sell it to Russia. No doubt Putin has those nudes in a safe next to Trump's pee tape.
moot point. Comparing the full on murderous intentions of the 9/11 attackers and the will of the January 6 attackers is ridiculous
The only time conservatives believe in disparate impact is when it comes to political affiliation. With everything else they decry equality of outcome but not here, right wingers must be charged and convicted at the same rates or else it's proof of nefarious intent. It can't be that the circumstances of these events accounts for whatever disparity might exist, it must be solely or primarily political persecution.
Honest to fuck, talk about a low bar. Fat-fuck-elect tripped on it.
Ah yes, more Russia drivel.I don't think they ever got that back from the lady that said she was going to sell it to Russia. No doubt Putin has those nudes in a safe next to Trump's pee tape.
Not in general. I've stated many times that I think most of the people that Trump directed there from the rally were just lemmings used as cover for the groups of people that knew full well they were going to breach the Capitol and incited as many in the crowd as they could to go along with them. A group like the Oath Keepers though that had a cache of weapons were ready to use them if given the go ahead from Trump. There is at least some level of intent there even if it wasn't their plan from the start. And it's a fucking embarrassment that so many Americans were willing to fight against our own Government over their grievances even if it didn't reach the level of Middle Eastern Islamic radicals.
