Thank you.  It really bothers me that these groups get a pass for the reams of illegal things done under their flag.  Those actions are readily dismissed on the regular.

Quote:But if you think for one minute that groups like Antifa or BLM lives matter would've been allowed to storm the Capitol that easy, you're sadly mistaken. For one thing that mob that went to and invaded the Capitol were spurned on by Trump himself, but like the true coward Trump is he did not march down there with them like he said he would. Instead he hi-tailed it back to the White House to watch the scum of the earth do his bidding on TV and according to Ben Sasse, Trump was overjoyed with what was happening at the Capitol and was puzzled that others were not sharing his glee.

The one big difference I see between groups like Antifa/BLM and whatever you want to call those people that went down to the Capitol...
"Proud Boys", "Nazi's", "white supremacist", or just the "misguided", I'll just lump them together and call them 'The cult of Trump", anyway, they have the backing of the most powerful man in the world.That's the difference.

I think this may be a case of confirmation bias.  I think the Capitol police got caught with their pants down.  I also think, ironically, that it was all the protests against "police brutality" that largely stayed their hand.  We've created a damned if you do damned if you don't atmosphere for law enforcement.  It shouldn't be surprising that this is causing LEO's to doubt or second guess themselves in these types of scenarios.  Also, your point about Trump is true and well taken, but Antifa and BLM have scores of high level proponents as well, just not as highly placed as POTUS.
