@Banana Breath,
The BLM was for the most peaceful until nightfall, then all kinds of sorts from different factions broke the law by causing destruction and fires and buisnesses, I don't condone it, I think the ones who committed those actions were wrong and should account for in the law.
The difference is a difference with a matter of importance. The summer unrest started because once again a white officer killed an unarmed black man and killed him in such inhumane way that not only blacks but most of the American people rose up in protest.
On the other the riot was caused to attack a federal government building to cause a lawful certification of electoral ballets to be disrupted and to stop. ("stop the steal"). By definition that was a terrorist attack on the US government.
For months prior, courts from even conservative judges had thrown out the lawsuits challenging the election due to lack of evidence, all the states had already called their states results after recounting and auditing had confirmed Biden the winner. Trump nevertheless incited his known rabid base to keep fighting to show they are not weak even after all his all his court cases had been thrown out for lack of evidence. It is not enough in a democratically country to state something is true, you have to prove it. They had their chance to prove it and they failed. In a democratic nation there are rules and laws and republicans chose and still choose to ignore the rule of law in our country and have the mob rule win the day. If they had been successful, it would have made democracy in the US a farce.
The mob sent by Trump attacked the capitol police (the ones who didn't join the lawless rioters)with their Trump flags injuring numerous members of the Capitol police and killing one with a fire hydrant. They went into our nations Capitol to hang Pence and kill Polesi and other well known high profile democrats and take over the government.
