You're missing the point.
One was ignited by cops unjustly killing a man.
The other was incited by a sitting President based on bs.BLM protesters had a very valid reason to protest and was a result of dirty cops.
Trumpsters are protesting based on lies fed by Trump.One can be justified regardless if you/i agree with it or not there is a cause there.
The other is simply unjustifiable.Imo.
But Trump didn’t call for violence.
The police let them in to the Capitol.
Did you even listen to his speech. A lot of fake news in this thread.

One thought I have worrying me about it is the precedent this situation sets.
Like we have the president of the united states, the "leader of the free world" some would say, censored and forbidden to speak because the technology companies consider that he is wrong.
They say it's to prevent violence - but he didn't directly call for violence - so it's really that his viewpoint shared by much of his audience, is capable of inciting violence in some of those people even without any actual call to violence.
To me that's kinda worrying. That a technology company gets to make it's own judgement on what is or isn't true, and what may or may not cause people to become dangerous, and that it can assert that choice effectively blocking the ability of elected officials such as the president of the USA to communicate.
To me that's a conundrum of it's own. Like even for people who don't like trump. In this instance it suits them. Might even really be safer in this instance what with the mob the other day.
But do we really want to have a society where guys like zuckerberg decide if they think a head of states message is too dangerous for us to hear or not? Like the politics of this instance aside. That doesn't seem like the world we grew up in.
I agree with our Aussie friend. Of course it would take a non woke, non American to see how this could have a negative consequence. Thank you monkey for being objective.

Had the tone been set forth earlier in other cities perhaps Wednesday doesn’t happen. This was a culmination of a bunch of shit that has been going on since May.

Very sad to hear of the cop that died and also the unarmed woman that died for her stupidity. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

Lol, he has donated his salary every year as president. Didn’t get rich off the government like Biden did.

The country was on a good path until Covid. Trump was shit for presentation and all that but a lot of good shit got done under his watch and not new stupid ass wars. Cleaned up that Isis shit in about 2 weeks. Withdrawing troops. All in all a good run.
