Terrorists break into US Capitol Building

[Suppressed Poet]

Well, first off, so what? We're not talking about whether or not I'm a shithead here. Maybe I am, maybe I'm not, it's irrelevant.

The phrase mostly peaceful is unrelated to any broadcast. It's just the phrase I used to describe the situation. You may have seen memes or whatever based on that but it's the first I'm hearing of it.

The 93% number comes from The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) which is a nonprofit that monitors political violence around the world. The link there will tell you who funds them.

The 93% is actually an old number from 2020, they did an update to the report and the number increased to 94% with the data from 2021.

The report also found this:

Let’s be real…the overwhelming majority of liberals & conservatives who protest do so lawfully and peacefully. It tends to be the vocal minority fringe radicals on both sides that use violence as a tool. I’m sure you are a decent law abiding citizen. I view you as a fellow American, and I hope you see me the same way. We may have vastly opposing political views, but one of the beautiful things about this great country is we can peacefully coexist & debate our ideas. Hell we may even call each other an asshat from time to time.

The problem I have with BLM, as I’m sure you are aware, is that the political organization (not talking about people simply chanting the phrase) is a radical destructive America-hating terrorist organization founded by a couple of self proclaimed Marxists hell bent to tear down the very fabric of our society. When such people make their mortal enemy to be law enforcement, and in these protests they frequently physically & verbally assault them… Well I don’t discount that your statistics / study may show the police treats such protesters peacefully or otherwise differently. Cops are human beings like the rest of us…flawed and fallible.
