BLM has legitimate grievances as illustrated by the disproportionate response towards them than the seditious insurrection at the capital.
The people rioting over the election are sore losers. They were armed. Violent. Broke the law. And got one of their own killed when she refused to obey lawful orders.
Burning down businesses and police stations aren't cool.
But it doesn't excuse Trump or his loyalists who repeatedly never face the same punishment.
I'm glad so far further violence didn't erupt. Partly I think because these seditious traitorous rioters were treated with kid gloves.
But I am ashamed my American peers are so mindlessly and dangerously obedient to calls of violence and sedition. Chanting kill'em'all. Threatening. And intending to literally steal the electoral certificates and kidnap politicians. Interrupt the lawful, constitutional operation of our government. This didn't happen just in DC. These folks aren't respectful of our institutions and fellow Americans. They don't want to legally win the election. They want to overturn one in which they lost fairly. With threats and violence.
These men and women shame us all and drag us further away from democracy.
