    You don't think the BLM rioters who were looting and burning down businesses are even remotely comparable? One specific example comes to mind of a black man in Minnesota who had used his entire savings to build a bar. Then COVID blows that up, and then BLM protesters burn it down. Did his "Black Life Matter."?

    I understand the cause was much different, but the actions not so much. Am I supposed to care more about it being Senators? **** those politician snakes.

    A member of the Capital Police, I believe, and trump is responsible for his death. The b*stard may as well have held a gun to the officer’s head and pulled the trigger. It is beyond shameful. It is murder.

    Not everyone was in their own home....but use that as your straw man argument against me sure. I never said it was the same nor was it right. You're better than that.

    Ok.
    The american Capitol is the same as a bar in Minnesota.

    As I said just another old building.
    You should invite Banksy to put on a good graffiti to raise its value and sell it some Russian oligarch.
    Or perhaps paint it gold first. That gray white is too depressing.

    Idk why I threw that random example in there. I guess that particular story still resonates with me, and fundamentally goes against all the purported beliefs of BLM.

    Buildings don't have value on their own. People give value to buildings.

    The bar was the world to its owner.

    BUT from what I had learned the Capitol as a symbol is extremely important not to one person but to a nation.

    On one case there is a crime. On the other case it is an insult to a whole nation.
    I don't see how these things are in the same scale.

    I honestly don't know if you're being sincere, but I meant what I said. I don't read but only a comment or two here, a page or two there, but you seem alright to me in many respects. And I sincerely hope we can all learn from this terrible, not at all great time in our nation's history.

    This is wrong. I asked at the beginning if they were armed, and I appreciate the information I'm getting in this thread about what happened.

    don’t fall for him...he is a trash person

    highlights from him including dancing all over RBG’s grave when she died with posts like this

    among other deplorable things

    You know that you don't have to have guns to kill someone right? A good old time tested mob lynching can do the trick.

    even then, not even a minute of research will show u that people were in there armed

    That many Trump supporters would go to the Capitol building and break in, and none of them would be armed? I mean, c’mon

    these people love guns and show up to everything with weapons on them, yesterday was no exception

    now a cop is dead, 15 required a visit to the hospital, and at least 60 were injured in some form or fashion...but these are the guys who love the cops and preach blue lives matter...

    The cop was probably black so they got confused.
