      Thousands of BLM protestors have been arrested

      EXACTLY! Now do the next check where you see how many were convicted. This is where you dont respond because you will see its less than jan 6th (from all the sources I have seen).

        It looks like there weren’t many. I think everyone that committed a crime during the BLM protests should be held accountable. And I’m glad that the people that broke into the capitol on Jan 6 are being held accountable. Surely you agree with that?

          Thank you, I appreciate that you seem to be reasonable, and I do agree. So we see the government throw the book at the jan 6th people, and the george floyd rioters get much less prosecution even though they did much more damage and there was much higher loss of life. Do you see how they are unequal prosecution?

            They were unequal events. I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make by comparing the two, but in my eyes breaking into the capitol building with the intention of overthrowing the government is a significantly worse crime and I’m glad the people responsible are facing justice.

            I’ll say it again, all people responsible for a crime should be prosecuted. But stop trying to tell me apples are oranges.

              It’s a Red Herring. They don’t know what they’re talking about so they’re fumbling around for any talking point they can find and pretend it’s relevant. Don’t waste your time.

              Except that they didnt have the intention of overthrowing the government as can be seen by 98% of the things they were charged and convicted of. And even if you think there was the intent and ability to do so, the vast majority were non-violent and did no signficant crime.

              all people responsible for a crime should be convicted. But stop trying to tell me apples are oranges.

              Crime is crime, so apples and apples. Why were the crimes of the riots not prosecuted?
