My son lives in that area. He didn't see any burning buildings or looting. The idiots took over a police station. The city just closed the part they occupied, and they gave up and left eventually, Not remotely like the mob that tried to overturn a presidential election by attacking the Capitol to "hang Mike Pence."
Like the insurrectionists, the rioters in Seattle had a good number of them arrested and sentenced.
Which is the way it should be.
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?
What did I post that is not true?
These "liberals" did not try to stop an official act of the US Congress as prescribed by our Constituion.
I still didn’t post anything that wasn’t true. Just because you don’t like the comparison doesn’t make it gaslighting.Comparing the events on J6 with some other protest.
Name one other event where a mob tried to stop the US Congress from carrying out it's duty to certify the election?

US Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell told Kinzinger that “(c)ommon things were used as weapons, like a baseball bat, a hockey stick, a rebar, a flagpole – including the American flag – pepper spray, bear spray.”There was almost a coup by people armed with flag poles and bear spray?
Everyone who assaulted the police should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and they have, along with some who did nothing.US Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell told Kinzinger that “(c)ommon things were used as weapons, like a baseball bat, a hockey stick, a rebar, a flagpole – including the American flag – pepper spray, bear spray.”
The rioters “had all these items,” Gonell said, “used to attack us. Those are weapons.”
Rioters also used knives, stolen police shields, a stun gun, fire extinguisher and more. Hand-to-hand combat led to more than a dozen officers being sent to the hospital, some of whom had bone fractures and concussions.
So far, with the investigation still ongoing, three individuals have been charged for allegedly bringing a gun onto Capitol grounds on January 6.

The intent was to overturn the election to give Donald Trump the excuse to order the election invalid, so he could continue in power. It failed in part because the insurgents weren't among America's Best and Brightest, and because the plotters had actually planned the coup on social media.
Police rounded up most of the actual rioters. Turns out, the instigators were mostly white supremacists. For example, one police officer died as the result of the BLM marches. The killer was a white supremacist who was trying to make it look as though BLM marchers did it.You're right. The average BLM riot was far more violent and destructive than J6. It's hard to compare them.
Does BLM have membership cards, rings or medallions that indicate they are BLM members?Police rounded up most of the actual rioters. Turns out, the instigators were mostly white supremacists.

There's a lot more, if you want to see it. On the other hand, can you name even one BLM member who killed a police officer, vandalized property, or looted a store?
Show us what you have. You might as well blame Mike Pence for causing the Jan. 6 insurrection. After all, he didn't obey Trump's orders to block the certification of the election.
Membership lists, yes. They do have members and organized local groups. So tell us how any of them have been caught killing or assaulting police, looting, or vandalizing property.Does BLM have membership cards
The same way you would identify a white supremacist who was doing any of that. They get arrested and the police investigate to find out their affiliations and motives.How exactly do you identify one?
The police don't investigate to find out if someone is a BLM member, the FBI doesn't keep statistics on them and the reason there is no record of a BLM member being arrested for arson or looting is because no one ever tried to find out and wouldn't get anywhere if they did.Membership lists, yes.

So how many BLM members did the things those white supremacists were doing at BLM events?
I'd be shocked if there were none at all. They got quite a pack of right-wing rioters. Why none from BLM?
I'm guessing.... "THE POLICE ARE LYING TOO!!"
Everyone who assaulted the police should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and they have, along with some who did nothing.
Personally, I think Pelosi took it rather personally when someone placed his feet on her desk."Nothing!?" You call calmly strolling down a hallway "nothing" ??
Every footstep through the rotunda was like another 9/11.
Every selfie another act of terrorism.
America almost died that day.
I just listened to Kamala say if Trump is elected he's going to use the military to go after Democrats"Nothing!?" You call calmly strolling down a hallway "nothing" ??

But Stephen Colbert's film crew can trespass in the Capital and hide in offices and they get a passPersonally, I think Pelosi took it rather personally when someone placed his feet on her desk.
(Not that I blame her; I'd be [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]ed too if someone placed his feet on my desk.)

They checked the affiliation of the people they arrested for killing police, attacking people, looting, and vandalizing. That's how we know all those guys were white supremaicists or other right-wing extremists.The police don't investigate to find out if someone is a BLM member
They track radical Islamists, white and black supremacists, and others known to be violent.the FBI doesn't keep statistics on them
So you're saying some BLM members went into the street and misused funds? Seriously? Sounds like a riot by a pack of delinquent CPAs. C'mon.Now when they work for the organization, are a leader or in some position they have been identified and charged with multiple cases of fraud and misuse of funds
