> When the left does it
Wait, the left forcibly occupied the Capitol at the behest of the defeated candidate with the overt goal of using threat of violence to get the election results disregarded?
When?

With all the riots that have happened in 2020, it feels they struck while the world was weak in order to hold countries to ransom. Whether that was the goal or not isn't that important, but it has certainly had the effect of making countries around the world spend more money on policing when they could have spent that money more effectively controlling the pandemic.

maybe if the left were willing to actually challenge power instead of sacking churches and burning down wendy's in poor neighborhoods we'd have a credible path to healthcare by now.
the lesson of 2020 & the omnibus are that if politicians are not scared they will ignore you.

It's incredible how easy it is for you to wear reality-bending goggles and throw generalities like "No one complained when there were fires and property damage during BLM protests", and that what happened today was "peaceful".
You can grasp the next "fact": that the Trumpites were peaceful, this was an Antifa false flag operation (you can find doctored evidence of this on Twitter). If you can lie to yourself about that, then you can go to sleep at night feeling that you're the moral one, that you're the one still on the correct side of humanity...

For what its worth, I think all of them were in the wrong. Whether you're armed with Molotov cocktails or conventional firearms, you're armed and a threat. The blm/antifa riots were just as much riots as what happened today. Everyone involved in those events that did not disperse when things got violent should be treated as a criminal, regardless of who's "side" they are on.

It's not a gang, it's a club.
When the left does it, even if they're hyper violent, it's called a peaceful protest. When the right does it, it's a coup and insurrection.
Yeah right.
