    The “intent” is everything!

    Just like the anarchist at the summer protests their intent doesn't represent the majority.

    In this case the intent is on camera and just to start 170 were considered to be using intent....more to come...there's no comparing racial profiling protests in DC to a coup on democracy at Capitol Hill..false equivilancy...BLM protestors were tear gassed and shot with rubber bullets without breaking into anything or causing any disturbance...that's white privilege compared to the response on Capitol Hill from the Trump crowd...one protest was legal...one was an act of sedition. The attack on the Capitol included state legislators, policemen from Seattle and New York, military professionals, organized white supremacy groups. I'm not watering down the difference here...americans killed a cop in the name of Donald Trump with a fire hydrant...this was organized. Not mob hysteria but an actual planned attack...directions to offices were given by megaphone...the intent was stop the steal......BLM intent was stop killing us

    That the violent minority doesn't represent the majorities viewpoint. The same way that scummy people downtown portland (tweakers and provocateurs) who fueled destruction late at night after peaceful protests don't get to represent the BLM movement. Filth of the earth white supremacists don't represent the larger population of conservatives in this country that condemn violence but simply wanted real concerns of election issues to be addressed.

    unfortunately white supremacists have been rallying behind Trump and MAGA for years now...they are organized and well armed....these aren't hippies with spray cans...there's quite a clear distinction between the conservatives in America and the MAGA fanatics who are propping up false lies about conspiracy and threatening to kill elected officials...10 Republican conservatives came out passionately to impeach Trump for being a traitor....10 is hardly a majority but they get my respect...so does the Lincoln Party for having the balls to address the truth....not all conservatives are volatile racists but the ones that are are damned loud and really visible right now. The GOP should be ashamed of the conduct of the last presidency. This could have all been avoided with adult leadership

    And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers, but not on the knees, because everyone knows they are the strongest.

    This is what I don't understand. We went through weeks and weeks of addressing concerns and absolutely nothing was found. It's too bad that people don't want to accept that but the concerns have been addressed. I doubt going 1-61 again in court cases would persuade these people. Nothing is going to satisfy them at this point.

    On the other hand, there's well documented and persistent evidence of bias against blacks when it comes to law enforcement.

    Ugh...just stop with the hysterical boogeyman bullshit. Not every opinion you disagree with is “dangerous”. You could’ve at least attempted to explain why. That’s the point though, there’s no explanation to that fear mongering statement.

    French computer programmer, 35, dies in suspected suicide as it's revealed he donated more than $500,000 in Bitcoin to far-right activists involved in MAGA riot including one pictured on steps of the Capitol who got $250,000
    • A French computer programmer, 35, allegedly transfered more than $500,000 in Bitcoin to far-right activists on December 8
    • Some of the groups that received the donations took part in the U.S. Captiol riot on January 6
    • The transactions were discovered by Chainalysis, who in a report revealed that far-right internet influencer Nick Fuentes received half the transactions
    • Fuentes was at the earlier rally but claimed he was not part of the riot
    • The report adds the programmer posted what appears to be a suicide note on his personal blog the day after the transactions
    • He wrote he wanted to leave his wealth to 'certain causes and people' as he lamented 'unprecedented civil liberties violations' caused by COVID-19 and BLM
    • It comes as federal investigators explore possible 'coordination or planning' ahead of the riot and examine financial transactions and cellphone records
