It saddens me to say...

Oh, really? Does this rationale apply to conservatives and people who just aren't progressive liberals, too?

@lumberjackslam I agree that everyone who committed violence or caused damage at a protests should be prosecuted. There is a practical difficulty though. As a rule the folks at the BLM protests did not bother to take photos and videos of their illegal activities and post them to social media.

Why did the Trumpsters ignore all common sense and fully document their illegal activities? Perhaps they thought they had been promised a pardon beforehand; I don't really know. But the fact remains that the Jan 6 insurrectionists made themselves irresistibly easy to prosecute.

@ElwoodBlues You fucking moron. There is tons of video of antifa, BLM and other protestors looting, burning, attacking bystanders etc. It's just been buried, pushed off Youtube and forced out of the mainstream.

@TinyViolins Hm, does your understanding of mob mentality extend to what happened at the Capital on 1/6? Or is that different?

@SumKindaMunster Photos & videos where you can identify the people? I didn't think I needed to mention that you have to be able to identify the people in the photos and videos to prosecute; I assumed anyone but a fucking moron would be able to realize that, [b]LOL!!![/b]

@SumKindaMunster Regarding mob violence:

@ElwoodBlues Moving the goal post huh? My response was to your asinine comment that there is no video evidence of crimes committed by BLM and Antifa. There is plenty. I gave you an example, should you care to research further. 😆

Please note, my comment is not to give you the impression that I am taking this study at face value...

So the other 7%? When are they going to be investigated and charged for their crimes?

@SumKindaMunster "research further" lol. 77th brigade/narrative pushers aint interested in that 😉. They just want your attention and to whip up division

@gol979 Agreed. What that guy doesn't know, you can't tell him.

@SumKindaMunster [quote]Moving the goal post huh?[/quote] Nope. My post was about video and photo evidence that can be used for prosecution. If you want to always take the silliest possible interpretation, that's your problem.

[quote]So the other 7%? When are they going to be investigated and charged for their crimes?[/quote] That's at 7% of protests, not 7% of the people. When? When prosecutable evidence becomes available. See above. Now go ahead and find some silly way to misinterpret this.

@SumKindaMunster hes playing a part. Mainstream guy.....i support the current thing even if it directly contradicts what i was supporting last week

@gol979 I've been saying the same thing about prosecuting all violence. I've been saying it for months! That's why you can't identify any of these alleged contradictions, LOL!!!

@SumKindaMunster let elwood preach to his ever shrinking echo chamber....."he" is an energy sapper. I was falling for it on a consistent basis. Dunno why im telling you what to do lol. Just advice i suppose

@gol979 It's cool bro. I am well familiar with Peckerwood Blues and his indoctrination.

Yes he does seem to spend a lot of time shrieking mindlessly in his echo chamber.

In my opinion, that's why he is so confident in his beliefs, he hears his own voice coming back to him, confirming what he already believes.

@gol979 [quote] let elwood preach to his ever shrinking echo chamber[/quote] Translation: you can't refute the facts and data I provide, so instead you're falling back on personal attacks, [b]LOL!!![/b]

@ElwoodBlues This is what I was contradicting moron, and yes you did say this for I took the quote directly from your post.

[quote]As a rule the folks at the BLM protests did not bother to take photos and videos of their illegal activities and post them to social media.[/quote]

@SumKindaMunster And who took the video you posted???

DUUUDE!!! You're still searching for a way to misinterpret what I said; to find some little irrelevant corner you can contradict, so you can do your little victory dance. [b] SAD!!![/b]

@SumKindaMunster its the script he is given to push. Its not his thoughts imo

@ElwoodBlues Not at all, I was merely correcting your misinterpretation and refuting your strawman argument.

I'm not interested in your definition of what winning or losing means. I don't care how you choose to interpret our interaction.

I thought it important that I refute your nonsense about the reasons why the Feds went after the 1/6 rioters and let BLM and Antifa run wild and I did that.

The rest is your childish snark and desperate loneliness for human contact.

@SumKindaMunster Whine all you like. Despite your distant video with shadowy silhouettes, the fact remains that the Jan 6 insurrectionists handed their asses to prosecuters on a silver platter and the BLM folks did no such thing. You can spend your days picking nits about my phrasing & word choice, but you can't alter the facts.

@ElwoodBlues You are so fucking stupid. As if that is the only video that exists. You are the psychological conception of projection, personified.

@SumKindaMunster I've gone out of my way to say that not everybody involved in Jan. 6 was a 'terrorist', even to people I knew didn't want to hear it.

There were tons of people that were lingering outside of the capitol building who recognized it was wrong to break in and riot. I've seen videos of protestors asking the capitol police to send in reinforcements because they sensed something bad was going to come of it.

That said, the people that chose to loot, destroy property, bring firearms and zip ties, assault police, and seek out congress members to maim and harass deserve to be behind bars. It's one thing to protest and make your voice heard, and quite another to attempt to subvert democracy and enforce your political beliefs through violence and intimidation.
