BLM is going to be revealed for the scam they are. Where is all that money they've taken in?  All I know is for a commy organization, they sure do love their mansions.  Not sure how that's helping so many of the black people who've been at a disadvantage. Never see them protesting all the murder that continues to ravage the inner cities ruining lives of innocent children 

Show me where all that money has gone...upwards of $60 million and more



BLM bought a mansion in Canada. It pays to be anti- America, Marxist, and anti-Semetic, aina?

Legitimate political discourse.

Considering what it was in response to, yes. But for some strange, inexplicable reason you left that out. Hmmmm.....

A link to a story by the Washington Examiner. Because of course.

A story reporting results from a Rasmussen poll, not an opinion piece.

For sure when it comes to being Anti-American.  Look how much money Josh Hawley, Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan and Ron Johnson raise supporting domestic terrorists?

I have absolutely no problem investigating BLM, Inc.. the organization.

I have absolutely no problem investigating the morons behind January 6.

People need to stop presenting things as either/or.  We can do both.

There are other countless stories about the BLM riots causing the most costly damage and destruction than any other riots in history, but I intentionally found a Yahoo news story citing a Rasmussen poll to avoid any right slant. But anything against the peaceful protest narrative will have a right slant to some.

Costly damage...yes.

Ginned up by a President and members of his party to overturn a legitimate election...no.

Why people are so willing to give people a pass on the latter by bringing up the former as a diversion is amazing to me.

Yup.  We're capable of doing both and should.  It's not complicated.

So those merely protesting peacefully were being rounded up and arrested? LOL. You want to talk about "ginning up" and supporting rioters - here's some support AFTER the fact.

The Post's analysis found the overwhelming majority arrested in those 15 cities — 2,059 of the 2,652 — were accused of nonviolent misdemeanors, most on charges of violating curfew or emergency orders.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/investigations/george-floyd-protesters-arrests/

To be clear, those who committed violent acts should be prosecuted and punished appropriately. But the great majority of those arrested were for nonviolent offenses that amount to traffic citations.

Cool. Bail funds are good ideas because I don't locking up non-violent people who haven't been proven guilty.

Now show me where they tried to overturn the results of an election.

Your "what about BLM" arguments are getting weaker by the minute.

I'm really quite surprised that you're bending yourself into a pretzel to equate anything to the sitting president of the United States inciting a violent coup attempt against the U.S. government, followed by the president gleefully watching the carnage even as the likes of his own kids and Fox personalities begged him to try to stop it. About 150 Capitol police officers were injured in the seditionist act, but all the "law and order" ex-president talks about now is pardoning the convicted felons who perpetrated the violence. I'm surprised at your willingness to downplay a national disgrace like that, Tony, one that so many leading conservative voices and religious leaders have strongly condemned.

But yes, there were also was some violence in the hundreds and hundreds of mostly peaceful protests that stemmed from George Floyd and other Black people having their lives snuffed out. I agree with then candidate-Biden that those guilty of violence should be punished to the full extent of the law. I haven't heard him say he plans to pardon any of them.

  come on man!  there was over a $billion$ damage during the "mostly peaceful" riots.  over 2000 police were injured and 25-50 deaths depending on who's counting.  the capital disruption caused $1.5 mil damage and 5 deaths.  one was an unarmed female shot by capital police.  3 deaths by natural causes and one drug overdose.

if you want to talk about the jan 6 disturbance, then show us all the video tapes and ask nancy why she told capital police to stand down and they didn't allow the 25.000 national guard to be on hand  oh, btw, president trump had them ready,  nancy never called them up

Anyone else notice the recurring theme among some posters here who are far more concerned with the torching of Autozones and looting of Apple stores than they are of a violent coup attempt?
Nice priorities you got there, fellas.
