Yes this is great seeing all the outraged hypocrites on the left who just a few weeks ago we’re all about the exact opposite of what they say now. What’s truly astonishing is the next leftist riots they will flop back to their old arguments.

You failed to mention that a group of those rioters also MURDERED a cop by beating him with I think it was a fire extinguisher as he screamed for help.

If you're going to take that argument, you realize that you're supporting the violence of BLM ANTIFA

Oh no it’s only a federal building! Of course damaging it in any way shape or form shouldn’t be considered “injury to federal property!”

We’re we’re you when they were destroying government buildings all summer? All of a sudden you are concerned about law and order and federal property. Hypocrite much?

I wasn't on Imgflip back then dude. I actually don't usually take part in online political stuff.
In fact if you look at my first post you'll seen I say I don't agree with the violence. Nice try.

Ok so you were ok with nightly
Attacks on the federal building in Portland? You were outraged and denounced it?

Ok You want to go into this? Fine. First of all, not all of those people who were causing the most trouble were BLM. Some organizers even complained that there were people there who were just here for the carnage, not the cause. It's likely that a lot of the worst trouble makers were just using BLM as an excuse to loot and cause destruction. Now while I agree that some of it was a little extreme, I don't blame them or wanting to be heard after what happened to George Floyd. However I don't think that extreme violence or setting fires is the way to go. Unfortunately some people feel like it's the only way they'll be heard which I think is sad. People shouldn't have to feel like that. It's a great movement with a great goal and message.
I also don't think the situation was handled the best. Some of the methods of the police were questionable to say the least. Now if you compare it to the riot at the Capitol, boy is that something different. There were many quite obvious differences:
1. Police response for both situations were completely different: the police almost let the rioters into the Capitol compared to the questionable methods of the police responding to the BLM protests
2. The causes: the BLM protests were in response to a great injustice and a problem that has been going on since before the founding of this country, trying to draw attention to the number of blacks killed by police such as George Floyd, while the Capitol raid was because of claims of voter fraud and Trump inciting his supporters
3. The behavior: while yes some of the people at the BLM protests did things that were a bit extreme, some of those people may not have actually been BLM and were just taking advantage of the chaos and all the actual BLM people wanted was for change and for something like what happened to George Floyd never to happen again and to raise awareness. The Trump rioters on the other hand didn't have to brutally murder a cop by ganging up on him and whacking his head with a fire extinguisher even though he was al ready overpowered
4. protests vs riots: the reason why the BLM things were called "mostly peaceful protests" was because it wasn't just violence, but there was also actually some peaceful protests. A lot of the violence was also because of confrontations by people who didn't agree with the cause and police. There was no peaceful protesting involved in the Capitol riot. It was just a violent riot. No peaceful protesting involved at all.

Oh obviously you’re another woke liberal Socialist. I’m not even going
Point by point. Suffice it to say
That you make a bunch of excuses to justify BLM and Antifa rioting but don’t
Like the right rioting. That’s Called Hypocrisy. You believe the police are to quick to shoot but are ok if the unarmed victim has white skin color. That’s called hypocrisy. You say you can’t hold all the protestors guilty for what a few of them do unless they have different Political views than you, then your ok with it. That’s called hypocrisy. You are a hypocrite and it abounds in your writing. I’m sure you were trained to hate yourself because of the color of your skin and to be ashamed of what and who you are. I agree you should be ashamed.

No that is not true at all. No one said that. I don’t think it’s ok for police to shoot anyone when it’s not necessary no matter their skin color or political beliefs. The point is that an innocent black person is more likely to be shot and killed by police than a white person which is wrong. Also, that woman was raiding the Capitol. That situation cannot be compared to a black person getting shot multiple times because they were holding a phone.
Also the violence of the BLM stuff was mainly at night and not all of the people committing the violent acts were actually BLM, while the riot was during the day and none of it was people just taking advantage of the chaos but all were Trump supporters. Sure there were people who weren’t participating in the violence and were cheering on the sidelines but the main point is the violence was the main part of the riot. Like I said on of the major differences between the 2 were one was to stand against police brutality and the other was to over through an election.
But what you said about thinking that it is ok if the victim is white or has different political beliefs is arrogant and just plain wrong. All lives matter. Yes that statement is true. And nobody is the same. There are always going to be people with different political beliefs from you and you just have to deal with that. What happened to that woman is a tragedy. But the thing was it wasn’t unprovoked and you can’t act like it’s the same thing as a person of color getting killed because they “looked suspicious” and were just minding their own business! The sad truth is that if George Floyd was a white man, then he’d probably still be alive. Honestly I’m surprised more people didn’t get shot during that riot. But then again pretty much all of them were white. Idk. Look. The thing about Black Lives Matter is that they mean that the life of a black matters just as much as that of a white, or any other person! The sad truth is that’s not always how people act. That’s all I’m trying to say right now. And if you actually looked at the thing I posted like I had suggested you would have know that. Have a nice evening.

Look. I have taken the time to calmly explain my points. You clearly just blew past it all and just started accusing me. If you actually read what I said you would see that I also said that the violence was extreme. You wanna talk about hypocrisy? Look at what I’ve said and then at what you’ve said. I took the time to read what you’ve said and then craft my responses. I have been calm. I have explained my points and been polite while doing so. You have accused me and made blatant and arrogant extreme claims based on assumptions. Accusing me of things I never said. Blown past what I actually did say. You also have made excuses for the Capitol riot while completely condemning the BLM. You have not truly listened to what I said. I am sorry you choose to be like that but it doesn’t mean I have to too. If you ask me one of us is acting more childish than the other and it ain’t the teenage girl in high school. Goodnight.

The video tells a different story.
0 ups, 4y
How exactly do you define "storming into the Capitol" as "just standing their?" No really I'm curious.
Also I was surprised she was the only person who got shot and died. Like seriously? You have rioters storming the Capitol when a bunch of Senators are inside, attacking police officers, ganging up on one and bashing his head with a fire extinguisher which he later died from, dragging another down the stairs and beating him with the American flag, and only ONE woman was fatally shot? It surprises me. Also how can a bunch of you Trump supporters claim to be pro police when you guys do those horrific things to those officers that I mentioned? (Btw by "you Trump supporters" I am obviously mean just in general as you are clearly one and I a addressing you but I also do not mean that all of you were responsible for the attacks on those officers I simply mean the ones who were just thought I should clarify that before someone gets all offended.) You wanna talk about hypocrites? Just look at the actions of your fellow "patriots" before you talk about us being hypocrites.

Also I just looked at the video. She was among many trying to break through the glass trying to get in. So no. She was not "just standing there."

Then your side deserved to have the book thrown at them for the deaths they caused... the rioting, the looting and the burning down of American cities. You people are hypocrites of the worst kind.

Yup just like George Floyd right?

I think you missed the point of the meme. And same could have been said about Floyd.
