Of course you guys were all about enforcing the police action when it was about Covid, but not now that it is about "peaceful" protests. That knife cuts both ways, my friend. I'm not saying they shouldn't be out past the curfew. I'm saying that if you decide to stay out and put yourself in the path of the police, then don't whine when you catch a rubber bullet. It isn't the police's fault.
Did they fire those guns? Assualt anyone? Burn down a building or two? Turn over any vehicles? Any act of violence at all? Peaceful protests are legal. So is owning a gun. Your argument is completely incorrect in comparison of the two groups in question.
But he has a valid point about the fact that they broke a legal order to "stay at home", which is the same as breaking a curfew. So technically, both the protesters breaking curfew and these groups that broke the Covid quarantine to approach the capital and protest are guilty of the exact same crime.
No, they stormed into a building with guns in violation of city ordinance to exercise their first amendment, much like all the peaceful protests in violation of curfew or not having permits.
Let me know when they shoot those guns while "storming" the building. Then you have a fair comparison. Until then all you have is your bottomless basket of apples and oranges.
Your willful blindness is astounding. Among the kneeling are thousands, yes thousands of extremely violent and dangerous criminals and anarchists. Continue to minimize hoping you'll be spared along the way. The mob has no more need for useful idiots, other than the Mayors and Governors who are providing cover for them.
The problem people are having with is the peaceful protesters being brutalized w/o provocation, not the looters breaking windows. Don't expect people to sit still and unresponsive once you start cracking their skulls.
Unenforced curfews are worthless. Don't be out after curfew, no cracked skull. Police, without regard to the narrative, are not just randomly walkinh up to some kid and beating on them, day or night, curfew or not.
Spike? You disappeared again, buddy. I thought we were having a good conversation and then you went all AWOL one me when I asked a tough question.
