    Now do the George Floyd riots.

    You mean the ones where cops and white supremacists pretended to be protesters and started smashing windows and setting fires themselves, because the real protestors weren’t doing anything that they could be arrested for?

    So when you try to murder people you unarmed into a building filled with armed men?

    People who illegally entered Capitol grounds during the insurrection were armed with a wide variety of weapons, including guns, stun guns, knives, batons, baseball bats, axes and chemical sprays. The Department of Justice said in an official update last week that so far “over 75” people charged in connection to the attack “have been charged with entering a restricted area with a dangerous or deadly weapon.”

    They also made pipe bombs.

      Let me get this straight, you are claiming that a significant amount of the George Floyd riots were not antifa and their like? What percent?

      If there were a few thousand that entered the building, what percent were unarmed?
