The far right in Idaho—which seemingly now includes its state Legislature—has a rule: Free speech for me, none for thee. Protesters from the right are welcome with open arms, but protesters from the left get thrown in jail.
That became manifest Monday in Boise when a horde of anti-COVID-19 restriction activists led by antigovernment figure Ammon Bundy broke into the chambers of the Statehouse, shoving their way past state troopers, pounding on doors, shouting and breaking doors and windows along the way, and then invading committee hearing rooms. But not only was no one arrested, state officials decided to accommodate them. It starkly contrasted with the scene a few years ago, when peaceful protesters seeking equal rights for LGBTQ people were arrested en masse for standing silently in the halls of the building.
Of course the cops tolerate violence by the right wing extremists
Does this make sense?
They assaulted police...the did damage to public buildings...
I know you on the left seldom if ever read our links, but we read yours. You copy and pasted but inserted lies in your OP.
Your article said noting about broken windows, only broken glass on ONE door. Trying to compare this to the leftists who destroyed police cars (a million dollars in damaged police cars in NYC alone) burned down buildings and businesses, assaulted people, some seriously, and many of them police officers, is laughable. It's like comparing an elephant to a mouse.
These people wanted their concerns to be heard. They forced their way into the state chambers (where legislation is discussed) and wanted to have their say.
