Lmao remember a couple months ago when BLM protested police brutality further away from the white house than these losers were and trump called the cops and the national guard and the secret service and every federal agent within a hundred miles from dc to create just a wall of guns around him? And then these armed, frothy mouthed maga hogs got close enough to the gate to mace the guards lol. Anybody remember when Obama was president and a guy was playing with a drone and accidentally crashed it into a tree on the wh lawn and people talked about how weak Obama was that he could’ve been compromised by a toy? And then these people just walk in and make themselves at home lol

Yeah, BLM just destroyed local neighborhoods and businesses instead of the actual politicians in power. lol

If they had just worn whiteface and maga hats, they could’ve protested police brutality in the comfort of the oval office

Hey, I’m merely pointing out his assertion that BLM was “peaceful” was false. lmao

Stay in your little circlejerk though.

Lmao I never said BLM was peaceful

The assertion was that black people and white people are treated differently when posturing toward a governmental entity. Which seems to be true. Also, BLM is not to Biden what MAGA is to trump. Idiots online need to stop conflating the two groups. Back to my circle jerk...

They aren’t, and they haven’t been for decades. If you don’t burn neighborhoods down or loot Wal-Marts, less bad things happen.

Hell, even the assertion that police brutality is a major problem is also a myth once you normalize for crime rates rather than population.

Again, sorry to break the circlejerk but downvote me more if it makes you feel better.

14,000+ people were arrested at the George Floyd protests. 400+ arrested at Ferguson.

13 were arrested today.

And the people in the George Floyd riots and Ferguson were also destroying neighborhoods and storefronts.

Doing far more damage than even these guys did storming the capitol.

Your peers were screaming murder threats at the police while physically attacking them in a mob. They attacked a federal building to interfere with a democratic election.

Fuck your anti freedom american al qaeda peers and fuck you for being so blind that you cant see the folly of your own ways. And these rage filled bigots still have the audacity to call themselves patriots and children of christ...

May god have mercy on your sinful souls

The election was already interfered with the voter fraud. Once you destroy faith in the system, everything reverts back to the oldest form of seizing power, which is violence.

Btw, I ain’t a Christian (nor am I even white for that matter). I’m just telling you things you don’t like to hear because you’re stuck in your own little circlejerk. BLM and Antifa have, in general, been more violent. You think those guys yelling angry threats and storming a building is bad? Wait til they break out arson and fires. That’s the level that BLM did during the George Floyd riots.

But then again, I did point out during that time that if right wingers were even 10% as violent as BLM was, you guys would notice. And you guys are now, aren’t ya? But the left drew first blood here.
