It's worth noting that the BLM protests weren't calm and friendly, too. "The protests that took place in 140 U.S. cities this spring were mostly peaceful, but the arson, vandalism, and looting that did occur will result in at least $1 billion to $2 billion of paid insurance claims — eclipsing the record set in Los Angeles in 1992 after the acquittal of the police officers who brutalized Rodney King," Axios writes.

They got these numbers from a company called Property Claim Services (PCS) that has tracked insurance claims related to civil disorder since 1950. It classifies anything over $25 million in insured losses as a "catastrophe," and reports that the 2020 unrest (from May 26 to June 8) will cost the insurance industry far more than any prior one.

Plus, the protests related to George Floyd's death are also different because they are so widespread.

An informal article by Forbes shows that there were at least 19 reported deaths during this period as well.

Right wingers should be forever barred from using the term "Personal Responsibility" against people they don't ever again. There is no denying that the garbage who support Trump and Trump himself is responsible for this sedition. Yet wing nuts won't just own their own behavior and actions. Instead they try to blame anyone else. Right now they're claiming it's "antifa" who pulled some kind of false flag operation. If they believed their own bullshit they would be calling for mass arrests of those involved. As usual wing nuts can't even make up their minds. When confronted with the fact that these criminals are Trump supporters they call them "patriots". When they see how much Americans disapprove of what they did suddenly they aren't Trump Supporting Patriots any more, but they're "antifa".

President-elect Joe Biden described Wednesday's events as "one of the darkest days in the history of our nation" and blamed President Trump for stoking violence. He added it was "totally unacceptable" police had shown more leniency than in Black Lives Matter protests last year.

Washington DC's top prosecutor has not ruled out the possibility that President Trump himself could be investigated over the Capitol riot.

The acting attorney general for the District of Columbia, Michael Sherwin, said "all actors" will be looked at.

When asked if this included Trump, Sherwin responded: "We're looking at all actors here and anyone that had a role and, if the evidence fits the elements of the crime, they’re going to be charged."

The president had urged his supporters at a rally outside the White House to march on Congress while pushing unfounded claims of electoral fraud, however, when events began to spiral out of control, he asked them to "remain peaceful".

Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a Republican from Illinois, called the breach of the U.S. Capitol by Pro-Trump protesters "a coup attempt."

Trump incited the crowd against his own VP Pence by saying he was very angry that Pence did not support his bogus challenges to the election.

The reason why is because our douchebag president didn't want to stop them because they were his supporters, it shows he only does good to the people who supports him. There was this show I watched on Netflix called "When They See Us", About 4 boys going to jail (1 did actually go to jail, the others went to a juvenile center) for a crime they did not commit. They were convicted of rape and murder. Donald Trump said that they should be put on the death penalty. SMH, really you are putting teenagers on the death penalty for a crime they did not commit. I can go on and on about what Trump caused in the U.S. But Trump Americans are showing their true colors. If it was black or other heritage protesters, there would have been a deadly shooting.

I thought that the police and special forces didn't know how to act because the Trumpsters were sent by Trump himself and he is actually the highest boss of the force in Washington. So normally if there is trouble in Washington, the president is making the call and sends in the forces to defend or protect. In this case, well, the president sent those lunatics himself (I am not trying to make excuses for what happened here though!!)

What America is suffering from is a severe case of polarisation, and social media has made it worse. Social media has been a key culprit in spreading misinformation, leading people down rabbit holes of conspiracy theories and lies. The country's dumb 2 party system, and an unhealthy obsession with a rigid, centuries old constitution has also decelerated efforts towards bringing about real social change. Also, yelling at each other online is clearly not helping, focus your efforts on something worthwhile.

The US Constitution is not rigid -- it's been amended 27 times in 230 years, adapting to changing aspects of American society.

Anyway, the US has five or six parties (or more) -- but most people stick with the two biggest ones.

In both protests, peaceful protest is legal and should be protected. When it turns to looting, violence, and rioting, it is illegal, morally wrong, and unjustifiable, no matter the cause. In both cases, MOST protesters were peaceful, but it was a minority that decided to take the turn for worst. As for inequality, freedom for all or there is freedom for none. Every citizen should be able to exercise their right to peacefully protest, even if you personally do not support the cause behind it.

Why does everyone keep insisting that all of the protests post-Floyd last year were BLM protests??!! Did we need a Black Lives Matter movement to tell us that Floyd was horribly murdered?! No, we did not. If there had never been a BLM, we would have been outraged and traumatized by watching that video. Many people went out to protest not even thinking one minute about the BLM movement or group. A MAN was murdered by the police in cold blood. Also, there are many videos of actual BLM supports trying to STOP the rioterss and looters. That isn't to say that some of it wasn't due to BLM in general, but not all of it.

No looting? A guy stole The Speakers Podium and tried to sell it on EBay. No spitting at police? They beat a cop to death with a fire extinguisher. There were 66 lawsuits brought by the Trump administration they were unable to present any evidence of fraud. The Supreme court even threw out Trump's cases twice. On swing states did recounts and audits and found no fraud. The US Justice department said no fraud. US cyber security called it the most secure election in history.

BLM protesters have a reason to be mad. They are being treated unfairly. The people at the capitol yesterday were whiny babies who were upset because they didn't get their way.

oh, raiding the capitol, destroying offices of federal workers, bringing Molotov cocktails and firearms, is peaceful? Its terrorism. that's it. BLM was a peaceful protest so that people of color aren't murdered for their skin color.

No, it it supposed to be polarizing when there’s a group of racists. You’re supposed to be the polar opposite of that. There’s no middle ground on racism. We had a literal civil war about this.

There’s no “both sides” when it comes to racism, which is what this is about. “Both sides” is just right wing rhetoric to escape responsibility. Fighting against racism is never wrong.
