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.
