Yes the famed "mostly peaceful" BLM protests that involve:
- burning and looting private businesses
- mobbing, and in some cases, beating/killing ordinary citizens trying to go about their day
- harassing ordinary citizens (mostly white) sitting down eating dinner at restaurants
all of which were endorsed by the left, as well as received tons of messages of support from many large corporations, tech companies, etc. Heck, fortune 500 companies were even donating to the legal defense of these "peaceful protesters". Contrast with today:
- A bunch of loons storm the capitol building
- Occupy it for about 3 hours
- Are forcibly removed, and the vote continued without issue
No private citizens beaten, no businesses looted, just general chaos in a government building and one protester shot by police. I condemn both groups I've just listed, but the problem that lead us here is that both sides refuse to acknowledge the problematic people in their camps. Until that happens there is no real hope for unity of any sort.
What happened in DC is not even close to insurrection. People stating that have no idea what real insurrection is/looks like.
