The riots in 2020 were the result of people taking advantage of the BLM protest to loot and people that weren't apart of BLM coming in to start trouble. On top of that the message behind BLM was overall peaceful and positive.Rando Yaguchi wrote: ↑Thu Jul 29, 2021 5:52 pm ^And yet the riots of 2020 resulted in at least 25 dead, several more injured and millions of dollars in property damage. There were peaceful protests too, and yes, sometimes the police were heavy-handed in their response, but let's not try to sweep all of that damage under the rug.
The January 6th riots were also bad. See how two things can be true at once? It's almost like violence and destruction are immoral no matter your political affiliation. Crazy.
January 6th was an attempted coup to keep a president in power that lost a fair election that resulted in loss of life to capitol police.
One is bad and the other had bad things happen during it.
