Says the guy who told us Jan 6th was a peaceful protest.
Old Salt as usual thinks that the forum doesn't have a search function.
How much damage was done on Jan 6, compared to the preceding BLM/Antifa riots. How much property damage & loss of life ?
How many nights was the Fed Court House in Portland torched ?
Last time we all checked the Portland Courthouse is still standing and is completely operational
...at what cost ? How long closed ?

Baloney. The rioting was roundly critiqued on here, including the Portland 'occupation'.
Consistently condemned the violence, the looting, the arson, etc. No one on here was cheering that on. Total gaslighting again, Salty.
But yes, the more than 6,000 BLM protests were overwhelmingly peaceful and non-violent. Fact.
Jan 6 was not "peaceful" by a very long shot. 2,000 violent insurrectionists caught. One shot and killed by police. Multiple police deaths related to that trauma, 100+ police injured. Trump cheered them on. Many prominent MAGA old and media types applauded or excused or minimized it.
Of course, lots of the other protestors that day had no intention of the violence nor participated in it. And, they had every right to protest, no matter how misguided or delusional their 'cause'.
You may have condemned it (at times), but several mocked, minimized or excused it.
Funny, I don't recall that at all. Quite the opposite.
Ok, anyone want to 'fess up to "mocked, minimized or excused" the violence, the looting, the arson of the "riots" that did happen, including the part in Portland?
I think Salty is confusing the defenses of the peaceful protests, the righteousness of their cause, the reasonableness even of their anger, with justifying violence, looting, etc. I just don't recall anyone, at least on here, cheering the violence. Same for prominent Dem politicians and media.
By contrast, we really did get that with Jan 6 from MAGA world, including on here.
of course, I could be wrong and just forgetting people on here cheering "Antifa" rioting...
Re TLD, mocking you and others isn't the same as supporting violence, arson, etc.
