How did the post move? I’m saying Jan 6 looked like a peaceful protest, from what I saw on the news.
And definitely much more peaceful than the other protests that occurred around that time (BLM, South Africa riots).
I just don’t understand the vitriol around one vs the other. My point was around perception of an event through the lens of the news. I wasn’t there in person; none of us were.
Everyone is fixated on Jan 6 and not talking about the bigger picture - people were generally mad all around, for lots of different reasons, and all demonstrated publicly. Some were violent, some were not.
But from what I SAW ON THE NEWS, the response to Jan 6 seems disproportionate compared to the others.
What I said in the beginning was serious: I wonder if there was legitimately differring coverage of these events. If there are A/B versions of these big events.
