    One is calling for fair treatment of all people at the hands of the group hired specifically to 'protect and serve', the other is trying to overturn a legitimate election.

    So I'm not sure how you can think these 2 things are comparable.

    The other 99% of black lives destroyed by people who are not police do not seem to attract nearly as much attention in the media.

    The default response to that is to refer to it as victim blaming.

    post 2872 would seem to suggest you are wrong

    very little looting or random innocent people attacked on capitol hill .
    a lot less than a nlm riot

    Seriously?

    5 dead after how many entered the capitol? Some of your brothers in arms are trying to tell us it was only a few hundred.
    Population of Chicago is what?

    Thirty-one people were shot and five killed in Chicago weekend gun violence last weekend alone.
    These facts really don't care about your feelings.

    The fact is that "largely peaceful" BLM protests caused 2 Billion dollars worth of damage to US property and businesses in 2020.
    I guess thats just collateral damage is it ?

    Such things are irrelevant to true believers


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,908 ✭✭✭✭MisterAnarchy


    So... percentage wise, not more deadly.

    Only 2 people were killed in the Capitol riot, the other 3 died of medical emergencies.
    How many were shot in the Capitol last week ?

    Work out the % of that for the population of Chicago vs the % for those at the capitol and come back to us.

    You might also point us to the initiatives the 'All Lives Matter' people have instigated to help to positively impact on areas of crime in cities like Chicago.

    What do you want to call it?

    I've never condoned violent behavior, I've previously said here that those who carried it out should be prosecuted.
    What do you want me to say about it?

    Such utter drivel.

    I had this conversation with you numerous times last year and the facts make a mockery of your nonsensical argument.

    BLM have had zero effect on black on black shootings.
    The number of homicides and shootings in Chicago spiked dramatically in 2020.

    It's almost like as if you don't know what the BLM protests are about.

    Clue: 'It's not what you think they should be about so you can deflect from the behaviour of some police officers'


  • Registered Users Posts: 21,685 ✭✭✭✭Tell me how


    This will come as a surprise to.......... no one.

    https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1348649648043520005

    Bet these police officers wouldn't have treated BLM protests the way they were treated themselves as they took part in an insurrection last week.

    Seems to have been more than one BLM rioter have been part of it too

    Mad thought here but did everyone who entered the Capitol building commit a crime by doing so?

    I've seen footage where police stood aside and just let them in. Could that be used as a defence I wonder?

    The crowd looked like a very mixed bunch. It looked like some of the people in the building only went in for a gander. :D

    The vast majority of people at BLM protests went there to protest. Didn't stop the President, and many here calling for police to use force on them.

    Calls which many police were only too happy to answer as we have seen.

    Doesn't at all surprise me that you hear what you want to hear.
    Now wouldn't be the time to change the habit of a lifetime I take it.

    And if people went to a BLM protest and behaved themselves, I'm fine with that.

    Yes they did.

    Or what did your research indicate to you?

    I take it from that you support the purpose of the BLM protests so.

    That's progress.
