Do you express your "opinion" by breaking into government offices and endangering lives?
My bar is that people have actually died as a result of this. That's reasonable.
As long as we are holding the people and groups responsible for the 30 or so lost lives and property destruction last summer during the protests and riots, all to the same standards, I have no issues with the standards. Destruction of property that is not yours and trespassing beyond the prescribed rules of visitation is also not okay. The BLM linked riots have roughly $2 billion in property damage insurance claims associated with them.
The scope and breadth of death and destruction from the BLM riots is larger by a significant magnitude.
So far I can't think of a single Democrat in congress that has resigned or been asked to resign. And several of them raised money for rioters to post bail. Including the VP-Elect.
Right now its hard to see a consistent standard being used.
This post is why anyone criticizing the protests on the right is making a mistake. The left has no standards and you're allowing them to set the battlefield and the rules that they don't have to abide by themselves because they can change the rules on a whim or change the manner of the game entirely.
Not only do I not condemn the protests, I support all of it just as they do with BLM/Antifa riots. The use of hypocrisy does not work with the left because they do not experience shame or regret and your arguments will always be those of a filthy racist, no worthy of consideration.
This guy gets it
