I’m amazed this gets so much attention yet the violent liberal group ANTIFA attacks and takes over part of Washington using weapons and Molotov cocktails. They burn major parts of the city of Seattle and wall off a section of it, even naming their newly conquered territory CHAZ making it so that even the police will not enter. However because they were liberal you don’t see much about it on any mainstream news, you have to search for it. If conservatives did that there would be all sorts of law suits and constant blame being pointed at Trump. It would be front page news daily. Yet once again because they were liberals the law and news look the other way. The same thing happened many years ago during a tea party rally where the worst thing that happened was one person got spit on yet the news acted like it was the worst thing to ever happen in America.

In my opinion, none of what you said justifies an attack on the capitol. The argument you are giving is the same as using past crimes by others to justify current crimes by some. I don't agree with ANY kind of violence to protest and I don't agree with tit for tat either. Both sides need to demonstrate their opposition without being violent and killing people.

I agree, I’m not saying what they did was ok. Nor did I imply any justification and I don’t know where you got that from in my post. What I’m saying is the attention from the media and other places is biased and leans one way. It’s been like that for many years. When the left does something bad it is mostly swept under the rug. Or they will cover it just enough to say that they gave it attention. When the right does something bad it is usually plastered all over for everyone to see for a long time. Again, my post wasn’t saying what they did was good, I was pointing out the hypocrisy of mainstream media. Unfortunately that hypocritical reporting sways votes.

What was done on the January 6th was a criminal and political act. What the media does is their business… specially since each media outlet has politics of its own. Other acts do not justify this, media coverage does not justify this but there are people using different types of social media to stir up people to commit violence. This topic isn't about if the media is fair or impartial.

I still don’t see how I implied any sort of justification in my post as you originally mentioned. However, if the problem is you disagree with me making a point in this specific forum about the fairness of news coverage then that’s a bit different. The title of this topic is “January 6th US Capital Insurrection” other than that I don’t see any specific rules in which way we have to explicitly talk about the topic. The title is very general. My post includes the topic associated with this title, but also with an example of news media in general. Anyway, originally you seemed worried about me justifying the actions of the people during the riot, which I didn’t in any way try to justify. Now you are worried about where I should put my posts even if they include the topic.
