@sonhouse saidIn other words, you are upset that BLM protests killed and injured more people than the Capitol protests because it is now apparent you made a mountain out of a molehill helped with intentionally divisive propaganda.
@Metal-Brain
You actually mean lets distract from the ABSOLUTE FACT JACK that the 'protesters' on Jan 6 were a THOUSAND times more sinister than ANY BLM movement which is all about getting better treatment for blacks but they are not calling for the overthrow of our government, which the capitol traitors were trying to do.
You can downplay the attack on the capitol so your repub buddies are happy but you FUKKING LIE and I wish I could see you in person.
Meanwhile the super wealthy are raping us all, but you are upset with the other side that is being raped (just like you) instead of the rapist. Divided and conquered.
We should both be on the same side against the plutocracy. We have a common enemy.
@metal-brain saidI really don't want to go down every person here. BUT:
At least 19 people died during BLM protests. How many people died at the Capitol Building protests?

Calvin Horton Jr. was shot and killed while burglarizing a pawn shop, not during any protest. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2020/12/14/no-charges-in-fatal-shooting-during-george-floyd-unrest
From your article:
Javar Harrell, 21, Michigan: Harrell was shot May 29 as protests erupted in Detroit; his family has said that he was not protesting and it’s not clear whether his death is connected to the protests.
Dave Patrick Underwood was killed by right wing extremist and Boogaloo Boy Steven Carrillo. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/airman-charged-killing-federal-officer-during-george-floyd-protests-california-n1231187
James Scurlock was killed by right wing bar owner Jake Gardner, who confronted a group of looters outside his bar. Gardner was charged with manslaughter but committed suicide before he could be tried. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_James_Scurlock
Barry Perkins, 29 according to your article: "The St. Louis resident was reportedly run over and killed by a FedEx truck while attending a protest on May 30."
Need I go on? You clearly didn't read the article.
And there were thousands of BLM protests involving tens of millions of protesters, so your sad "whataboutism" attempt with the violence committed in one day by a group that wanted to "hang Mike Pence" and seize Nancy Pelosi and others, is typically ludicrous. BLM was and is a nonviolent movement who's main goal is to reduce police killings of civilians in the US, which remain at scandalously high levels compared to other "advanced" nations.

@no1marauder saidYou continue to evade my question. How many? What is the number?

@no1marauder saidno, Im saying you are lying. The police have never claimed what you say. There was only one person killed and the police did that.
You're saying the police lied?
@wildgrass saidThis is the really big news this week: the "Green Bay Sweep".
There's a Fox News segment that aired on January 4th called "plan to contest electoral college results." Keep in mind all election results, in Democrat and Republican-led states, had all been legally certified on Dec. 11th. Joe Biden won.
In this segment, a sitting US senator is asked "Are you trying to say Trump will be president on January 20th"
The answer (from a s ...[text shortened]... for holding on to power. They stormed the capitol to take back a country that was rightfully theirs.

@metal-brain saidYour ignorance knows no bounds, does it?
You thought the gene vaccines were not gene therapy.
You thought Joe Rogan took a horse dewormer when it was prescribed by his doctor.
You thought Rachel Maddow tells the truth.
You thought gravity caused time dilation.
You think a lot of myths are true, so why should I believe you without a credible source?
@Metal-Brain
You mean it's ok for YOU to keep putting out misinformation but when called out on it, Well, let's move on.
@suzianne saidLOL these are all recent articles but this is old news. It's resurfaced because of Peter Navarro's public comments which were very very incriminating. The wild thing about the latest development in my mind is that Peter Navarro et al. apparently still think that the whole plot to overthrow the government (to federally dictate that swing states change their certifications and send electorates favoring the candidate who lost) was legally justified.

@Metal-Brain
And YOU continue to think there is something you will politically gain by conflating BLM with a national insurrection. Hate to tell you, but it won't work.
You are not amongst a bunch of idiots here, most are WAY more intelligent than you and your response?
Post yet another ultrarightwingnutjob site.
@sonhouse saidIn other words, you are very frustrated that you cannot come up with numbers that do not prove no1 wrong. Notice he still continues to evade my question like the coward he is.
