You'd have to ask the Trump administration why they didn't go after those people who were attacking federal buildings but you know the answer for the most part - Democratic states didn't want to risk criticizing their base for doing awful things. So they just ignored it and passively approved it. It's what happens when you cow-tow to special interests and minority groups.AZGrizFan wrote: ↑Tue Apr 12, 2022 9:57 amBreaking the law, fine. But just because one happened in DC and the others happened in other cities and towns shouldn’t differentiate. And when BLM burned DC several months before, why aren’t THOSE people being charged with sedition? I mean, it’s literally their stated goal….Ibanez wrote: ↑Tue Apr 12, 2022 9:54 am
They did and guess what, I didn't make excuses or rationalize it like others here do. I've said the BLM and Jan 6 protestors that have committed crimes should be punished - I seriously don't understand why that's an issue? What's wrong in saying that anyone that breaks the law, regardless of political affiliation or how much we like them and their opinions, should be punished.
Protesting police violence is fine. Protesting the 2020 election is fine. The moment you are no longer "peacefully" assembled, you lose any protection under that right, IMO.
