Larry, somehow, amazingly, you've entirely missed the point with this meme.

News flash: for the most part, the very same people who didn't approve of the BLM / ANTIFA riots, didn't approve of the riot on 1/6. That's because the true core of Trump supporters believe in law and order.

Every political party has it's extremes. Why should I have to even mention the BLM / ANTIFA riots in making such an obvious point? Because so many people are blinded to the fact that the edges of both political parties do stupid things. You need to wake up and realize this.

Also how many of those 150 had their Rights violated. Held without bond, no lawyer when demanding one, etc.

If we can believe some media reports, those being held are being treated very, very poorly, to the point of putting their health at risk, and certainly well past the point of their constitutional rights being violated. Joe and Kommie should have to answer for this.

Did see a blurb online about poor health/sanitary conditions. A supermax jail may have better conditions that whatever hole some of the 150 were put in.

This has been investigated and disproved. I read the news every day, from a number of sources. Here's part of a report from Buzzfeed News, "Most defendants have been allowed to return home, sometimes with strict conditions like home incarceration or GPS monitoring and sometimes with minimal restrictions on their movement. These release conditions depend on the severity of the charges in a given case and the degree to which judges find that a defendant poses a flight risk or a danger to the community — and, specifically, the likelihood they’ll participate in another violent demonstration. The proportion of defendants released from custody after their arrest has grown since a federal appeals court in March set the bar much higher for prosecutors to successfully argue that defendants should stay behind bars if they weren’t charged with assaulting cops, destroying property, or planning for violence." The number held in custody is about 70-people or about 10% of those arrested and charged.

A White member of a right-wing organization that regularly incites violence at BLM demonstrations was recently given a ten-year jail sentence for threatening, otherwise non-violent, demonstrators with a gun. The Boogaloo Bois have killed cops and tried to blame BLM. Two members of White Right-Wing groups were convicted and sent to prison for starting a police station fire, BLM was previously blamed for, in Minneapolis.

The extreme left has its bad actors, yes. But they never attempted to stop the process of completing the election of a president. Only one pocket of people thinks that people protesting police violence are exactly the same as those who bragged that they were "stopping the steal." One of us needs to wake up, and I've had my coffee.
