Was that protest one of the ones that dispersed, or one of the ones that ransacked the local stores?
It matters.

Nice try my friend...you see, I was in CA on 01/06/2021...yet I am on the hook for everything DT says and does according to the rules by those you willingly, and in my opinion grossly, follow and have aligned yourself with. DT showed (R)'s and Romney how to deal with the left and their media tools...and I can assure you, it was not to become a tool.
I thought you said the protests though weren't o.k. if they didn't provide adequate security to anticipate things going bad? Isn't that the relevant question....were proper steps taken at the Romney protest to ensure things remained orderly?
That is exactly the question. Did Romney attend a riot or a rally?
If he was there in support of a crowd that looted Walmart 4 hour later, then my respect for him falls.
More to the point -- did he stand in front of the crowd and tell them to go to Walmart and demand free stuff?

Trump didn't incite a riot. Read or watch the speech.
On the other hand we had months of riots and plenty of Dems not willing to town down their rhetoric.
If those Dems now want to try to pin something on T, then by their own standards, many of them have to go.
Consistency is key. You can't explain away one side, and demand the other abide by rules you don't impose on your preferred group.
Just recently you had Schumer on the steps of the Supreme Court telling them if they vote a certain way, they will pay.
There are many examples of Da using terminology they now try to say is out of bounds.
Sorry, wrong. The correct answer is "no".

The correct answer is that they tacitly condoned the looting of Walmart, small businesses, fast food restaurants, etc. by not condemning it and by making comments like “That’s what insurance is for”. From my perspective, knowing someone who’s small business was looted in La Mesa, CA during these events... it’s the same thing.
Sorry, it’s not that black and white. While the relative virtue of the two are in no way equal (complaining about election results vs. social justice issues), the standards regarding free speech and accountability under the law (accepting that impeachment doesn’t have the same jurisprudence as what most perceive as the legal system) shouldn’t differ under the blind eye of the law, nor in application between political party affiliations.

I would like to know too, (as someone who is a more moderaate liberal,) how anyone on the far left can justify looting and demolishing mom & pop shops in the process. Like, WTF? How is that ok?
We have a very dear friend whose longtime deli in the downtown Sac area was just straight up demolished- for no other reason that it being located in an area that riots were taking place. The oldest member of that family is elderly- that's his baby, his nest egg. Just fking flattened for no good reason other than some thugs trying to posture.
I think a soccer store was also robbed and looted during that time. IMO, those people are no better than those who took over the WH. A thug is a thug is a thug....

Who said "That's what insurance is for"?
BLM activist and leadership have repeatedly stated that looting is a form of reparations and that looting doesn't really hurt anyone since most businesses have insurance. Google Ariel Atkins, she'll drop some knowledge on ya. Social media was ripe with the idea of "That's what insurance is for".
Pathetic behavior on both sides of the aisle. Small business did in fact suffer from the Summer of Love. Add to it reduced revenue from the pandemic and you effectively ended the life cycle of many small businesses. Shameful to say the least. It's no wonder people armed themselves to protect their properties. Koreans on rooftops is a real thing.
look it up... I hear google is an effective tool.
Will t's lawyers be subpoenaing Ms. Atkins?
Coo Coo and full of nonsense!!!!
There ya go, revert to the evil T. I gave you an adult answer and some research homework. Invoking "T" is cooocooo and lazy.
Hahahahaha. Happy, you get it bro. I love you man and I appreciate all you do for mankind. Man needs to learn to be kind
I thought I was following the sense of the thread.
