So, why aren't the lefty rioters who set up autonomous zones or attacked fed buildings, or the courthouse, or burned down the police station, being charged the same way, ie insurrection?
That is my point. We have different standards for different rioters.
I want their right to equality of protection respected. You want it violated.
You want to treat rioters harshly, to the full extent of the law? I can support that. YOu want to gun them down like dogs when they riot or loot? I can support that.
You want to do that to ONE side, while treating the other side, with kid gloves, or just give them a pass?
That is you being a tyrant. THe dead are then political murders. The prisoners are then political prisoners.
What do you think the next step is?
