If you guys are worried about targeted prosecutions, why are you worried about the potential ones and not the ones currently happening?
What prosecutions would that be?
The most important would be the discrepency in treatment between the Jan 6th people and the George Floyd riot people. Also I think almost all of the trump cases are just targeted prosecution.
Why would the federal government do anything about BLM? They didn't break into the capitol to smear feces on the walls.
Could you clarify? Do you want us to be mad that individual state legislatures are acting differently than the federal government, or is it that you want us to be mad that the federal government isn't doing an overreach and prosecuting protestors outside its jurisdiction?
They would target BLM because they were an organized group that attacked many federal buildings and officers. They much worse than smear feces on teh walls, which is exactly my point.
I dont know what you want me to clarify, Trump is getting attacked by the government in a variety of states and jurisdictions, and almost all of it is bullshit.
No, I meant what did they do in reality, not in the delusions you were told to believe.
They caused billions of dollars in damage to cities around the country and they terrorized people and neighborhoods, do you not remember all the damage and the rioting?
No, it's hard to "remember" delusions you were having from being fear addicted and watching propaganda.
"Around the country." Again, whatever it was you were imagining is not within the jurisdiction of the federal government. The insurrection led by Donald on January 6 is within the jurisdiction of the federal government. What do you want to happen?
They were directly attacking federal government buildings. In Portland it literally happened for over a month every night. But I can tell at this point you dont actually care about an honest discussion, so have a great day!
You mean these guys? So you are a dishonest liar pretending both that the few people who did violence or arson represent the whole, and also that they are not seeing consequences for anything. As expected of a redcap: lies, propaganda, and delusion from top to bottom.
Absolute idiocy. It's all bullshit. Yes, I guess that's why Trump's lawyers have been so successful getting his cases thrown out.
