> Black Lives Matter riots (Funny, you can never say those words. It's always an abbreviation).

> the BLM comparison

Hey look, you did it again.

No, it's a shameless whataboutism trying to justify your side's riot with a clear political goal with the other side's riots that were more a spontaneous reaction to a horrific crime.

Both were riots but the circumstances and purpose of each could not be further apart.

> and J6 was partly a counter protest.

I know. You need that to be true. But it's not.

> he won many of those cases on appeal

No, he didn't. He lost every single major court case (E. Jean Carroll Defamation Case, civil fraud case, Georgia Election Interference Case, Falsified Business Records), except for one appeal that kept him on the ballot in Maine despite his coup attempt.

> won the election after which his opponents closed those cases

Yes like I said.

> He avoided prison by overcoming the legal system.

I think we're done here. You're just really interested in remaking reality so that your worldview still makes sense.

Political violence, once it starts, is almost impossible to stop. So when I see people excuse it, I get especially angry.
