Well, not quite.
A few broken windows and spray-painted walls do not a "looted city" make.
Sure, there was more damage in some cities. But, trust me....not "countless numbers".
In my own city where we maintain a Pied-à-terre......a metro area of about 500,000, there was one night of unrest. Broke windows, a Nike store trashed, a single police car burned, spray-painted walls. No one was seriously hurt beyond being hit by a frozen water bottle, or some thrown object.
The official 'demonstration' that was duly authorized and peacefully conducted that afternoon got hijacked by vandals and delinquents as evening fell....and then it became a bottle throwing mele'.
But notably, the police were ready with video cams on the rooftops. They filmed it all. And it turned out the worst miscreants were.....hold for it.....white kids from the suburbs and nearlby rural communities. They had come to the city to let off steam after the Covid lockdown and they went too far. Many of them were identified, arrested, convicted......and now live with a criminal record.
Good on that.
But it wasn't BLM, nor ANTIFA, it wasn't ANY political persuasion......it was young diqheads being diqheads.
Duh!
In the first place, there is a cultural problem among young blacks and young whites. Blacks way over represent violent crime and armed robberies in this country. Young white men over represent mass school shootings. And we did not have this problem in the American past. It’s because in parts of poor leadership and bad influence from the media and hollywood.

These problems exist in part because of left-wing radical teachers, Hollywood and the media instilling this propaganda idea that “America has an evil imperial history”. That is a bad way to teach history it’s not right. And it takes away from the fact that slavery and expansionist warfare was practiced by the Jew, the Indian, and the black not just the white Christian.
Well, my friend there were 25 people killed And billions of dollars worth of damage during the BLM riots.
Going by the numbers and logic that is astronomical in proportion to the one day event that was January 6.
Unless you were living in a cave, there were days on end of riots and unrest and various cities in 2020. Tons of statues torn down and defaced. It was total chaos. And the reason why somebody like Derek Chauvin was convicted was because of a mob mentality. People were afraid of more riots. There were multi million dollar payouts to families of criminals for no good reason. Again, it is an example of the justice system being afraid of more riots.
I mean you watch the news in 2020 right. Seeing the countless examples of FedEx trucks of UPS trucks looted by BLM people. You remember that video of a BLM person trying to loot a UPS truck but dying while doing so? The poor guy got trapped under the truck and was ran over to death.
You remember the black pawn shop security officer, who was murdered by a BLM criminal? Tons of examples of left-wing violence, and so there is no logical way to put this on the same level as January 6. The BLM riots were one of the worst examples of attacks on democracy and American ideals in US history.
There were countless videos from both 2016 and 2020 of old Trump supporters being viciously beat down by gangs of 10 or 20 BLM people. And there is a sickness a poisonous attitude among the media if we ever have tens of thousands of white trump supporters rioting daily like BLM It would be viewed as the greatest terrorist event of American history by the media.
The problem it’s not Black people not white people. It is the media, Hollywood, and a number of politicians who don’t do anything about the issues facing America like the astronomical cost of living in this country the high price of a home, the high interest rates. They are pumping up race division. Giving us this insane divisive idea that “white folks are privileged”. Even though there’s tons of homeless white people in America.
