I've never denied that some people took part in rioting. In fact my posting history has been me condemning them. It was foolish and caused the right FAR MORE HARM than anything else in recent history, because it handed the media their narrative on a silver platter. Fuck them. I hate them.And how do you justify/explain the many photos of them scaling walls, climbing through windows, forcing open doors, fighting cops and security etc?
Call me crazy, but none of that looks like calm or peaceful entry to me.
But they weren't there to kill senators, or overthrow the government. This was not a coup or an insurrection. There were by some estimates, millions of people there, on the lower end, hundreds of thousands, and a couple hundred rioted. Which is a shame and a disgrace...but by left wing standards, is a "mostly peaceful protest."
