"So what?"

[DaisyDay]

You mean the ones mysteriously and conveniently supplied with pallets of bricks and fireworks across the nation?

Yes, although I'd say that the extremists are more likely to come armed, late in the day than mere opportunists.

Antifa supported liberals during those riots .Nice try .

Apart from "enemy of my enemy", not that I saw. Any evidence that they supported "liberals" rather than just oppose the fascists?

AP finds most arrested in protests aren’t leftist radicals​

Nice try.

Foolish paranoia isn't exclusively a right-wing thing.

True but is was shown on the evening news

Well, Trump was constantly claiming that "the cities are burning" and it was leftists responsible for it, when we knew the opposite was true.

Most doesn't mean none. And the cksim was they were supported by leftist radicals not that they all were such. Even your own link stated that.

Well, Trump was constantly claiming that "the cities are burning" and it was leftists responsible for it, when we knew the opposite was true.

It was leftists responsible.

Brian Bartels, a 20-year-old suburban Pittsburgh man who is described by prosecutors as a “self-identified left-wing anarchist,” was flanked by his parents when he turned himself in to authorities. Bartels, who lives at his parents’ house, spray painted an “A” on a police cruiser before jumping on top of it and smashing its windshield during a protest in the city, prosecutors said. He pleaded guilty in September.

One defendant who was arrested during a protest in the central Massachusetts city of Worcester told authorities he was “with the anarchist group.” Vincent Eovacious, 18, who is accused of possessing several Molotov cocktails, told authorities that he had been “waiting for an opportunity,” according to court documents.

In the article 70% of those arrested were white or black. We know blacks are leftists by and large. Most of the anti government anarchists are leftists.

It was leftists responsible.

As you learned here, it was not. While we have lots of examples of far-right terrorists trying to disrupt the marches, Law enforcement showed:

It just means most of the terrorists were not leftists. I'd be surprised of none of them were Antifa.

And of course, no BLM members so far.

Your continued denials despite what your own article says is telling and I quoted. As long as you refuse to acknowledge it, I think we are done with the conversation. Bye.

 

[The Barbarian]

So we've made some progress.
Started out with "BLM was burning cities."
Ended with "Well, it wasn't all white supremacists who were doing it."

Your post in the January 6th thread
"Is defendant Trump trying ensure additional charges after he loses? The current "So What?" thread (about Trump's disregard for the safety of VP Pence) has degenerated into a "whatabout" thread on "BLM".

...indeed. You've been a large part of the 'BLM' conversation.

They just burned and looted, took over a police station, caused over a billion in damages and seized an area of a city and made it there own autonomous zone.
How long did the January 6th incident last? Less than a day?

Again, I will ask: When did the BLM (or insert your preferred left wing organization) attempt to halt an official act of the U.S. Congress as presecribed in our Constitution?

From the Univision Town Hall last week: (including the entire question and response, some of which relates to J6)

Good evening, Mr. Trump. Okay. I am a Republican no longer registered though. I want to give you the opportunity to try to win back my vote. Okay. Your, let me say, action and maybe inaction during your presidency and the last few years sort of was a little disturbing to me, what happened during January 6th and the fact that you waited so long to take action while your supporters were attacking the Capitol. Coronavirus, I thought the public was misled during coronavirus and that many more lives could have been saved if we would’ve have been informed better. And also people in your administration who don’t support you, I’m curious how people so close to you and your administration no longer want to support you. So why would I want to support you? If you would answer these questions for me, I would really appreciate it and give you the opportunity. Your own vice president doesn’t want to support you now.

Trump:
"So the people that don’t support are a very small portion, we have a tremendous, about 97% of the people in the administration support me, but because it’s me, somebody doesn’t support, they get a little publicity."

[...wonder how he came up with that figure. Only about half his former cabinent members have endorsed him.]

"Very importantly, you had hundreds of thousands of people come to Washington. They didn’t come because of me."

[...oh really? Come to DC on J6 "it will be wild!" ]

"They came because of the election.
They thought the election was a rigged election and that’s why they came."
[...after Trump repleatedly told them it was rigged....just as he's doing now, if he loses]

"Some of those people went down to the Capitol, I said, peacefully and patriotically, nothing done wrong at all. Nothing done wrong. "
[nothing? ]

"And action was taken, strong action. Ashli Babbitt was killed.
Nobody was killed."
[which is it?]

"There were no guns down there. We didn’t have guns. The others had guns, but we didn’t have guns. And when I say “we” these are people that walk down, this was a tiny percentage of the overall, which nobody sees and nobody shows."
[who is we? And the others are law enforcement...with guns]

"The vice president, I disagree with him on what he did."

Notice Trump never addressed the question of why he took so long to act.

When did January 6th protesters cause 2 billion in damages?

Right-wing terrorists did a lot of damage rioting to disrupt BLM marches. But it doesn't match their work in the Jan 6 insurrection:

WASHINGTON — After more than two and a half years, the true cost of the January 6 Capitol riot is coming into sharper focus.
The attack -- carried out by supporters of former President Donald Trump who were dissatisfied with the 2020 election results -- caused about $2.7 billion in estimated costs, according to an updated report from the Government Accountability Office.

As of October 14, 2022, the approximate losses suffered as a result of the siege at the Capitol totaled $2,881,360.20. That amount reflects, among other things, damage to the Capitol building and grounds and certain costs borne by the U.S. Capitol Police.
