Why is the uprising of 1/6/21 worse than the months of rioting in the Northwest?

The BLM and Antifa rioters destroyed federal buildings during months of rioting. The capital uprising lasted less than a day. Why is it worse?

The king of false equivalency strikes again.

That did not happen. I drive by the Seattle "Federal buildings" every once in a while, and they're still there. In fact, no one was able to get through the federal perimeter set up around the area.

Same for Portland's Federal district, where I happen to drive about once a month. It's still there, unscathed. In fact, most of the burning of loading carts that happened there, is a direct result of Trump's refusal to withdraw the Federal troops, creating a flash point.

But it's not like anyone ever accused you of having a clue.

But, more importantly, what does the summer of 2020 rioting have to do with the violent insurrection on Jan 6th, 2021, at the behest of the sitting President of the USA? Hint: nothing.

Except what? You have a different story? Perhaps you following the Fox reporting, where they showed the same armed man, in multiple location in Seattle, and footage from Minnesota and claimed it was Seattle?

@QuixoticSoul And let's not forget about that poor Llama. Someone might have fed him a pepperoni pizza, when it's clear he's vegetarian. That's why these BLM types don't deserve anything nice.

Did the riots in Portland ever happen?

@Northwest I seem to remember that some Protestors did in fact secede from the USA and form their own Free State. Now according to every single one of you on the Left here, you've all stated that something like this would be treason. But not one of them have been charged with Treason.

In the alternative reality you live in, perhaps. In the actual world? No, it did not happen.

Now according to every single one of you on the Left here

That would be a lot of people.

you've all stated that something like this would be treason.

Stacking a strawan on top of another strawman?

But not one of them have been charged with Treason.

And another one. A house of cards.

Total leftist fake.

I see that you opted not to respond to the actual discussion. There's really no need to confirm how clueless you are.

@Northwest What part of "peacefully make your voices heard" did you not understand?

I'm sure you think this makes sense. It does not. It's a tired strawman.

You should not do SW while intoxicated.
fanuc2013 · 51-55, F
@Northwest Then why hasn't he been charged?

@fanuc2013

Quit doing SW while intoxicated. What are you talking about?

@Northwest The crazy lefties keep saying Trump told those idiots that broke into the Capitol to do so! No proof! Just their twisted version of his speech.

Then perhaps you should start a thread for that purpose. I am commenting on the BLM issue. Or, on second thought, perhaps you only have a single narrative, that you apply to every situation.

@Northwest So what the BLM type people did is ok?
Northwest · M
@fanuc2013
o what the BLM type people did is ok?

Changing topics? What's a BLM type person? Black? Sober up, pleae.

@Northwest Twist everything much? You said you were commenting on BLM stuff, and I was under the impression that not all BLM supporters are black. So you must be a racist!

@fanuc2013
Twist everything much?

How can you tell? It's not like you have been able to respond, on topic, relative to what I posted.

You said you were commenting on BLM stuff, and I was under the impression that not all BLM supporters are black. So you must be a racist!

I don't know if you're racist, if you had said something racist, I would called you on it. You're now eyeball deal in strawman propositions. What's BLM type? It was a simple question. One more time, what's a BLM type? Not a BLM supporter. Your statement was "the BLM type people".

We'll deal with your other strawman separately, specifically "so what the BLM type people did is ok?". Do you understand what whataboutism is? look it up. For starters, it's NOT an answer to a question. It's a way to skirt the issue. In other words, twisting things. You should learn what that is.

@Northwest ... oh right, so the CNN reporter that was stood 100 feet away from a Federal Court House burning down was photoshopped was it ... 🤪🤪🤪

... the one where he said: "on a whole, these are peaceful demonstrations", straight after he turned back to camera after looking directly at the burning Court House ... 🤔
@BigGuy2 would you please find that photo for me and post it here. i would like to see it.. and again please..
