ICYMI two years ago - Charges against rioters...er, protestors dropped
-
How many of them assaulted a federal building containing the Vice President, Speaker of the House, and every member of both houses of Congress? How many federal officers did they beat to death? How much government property did they steal or destroy?
I find the whattaboutism even weaker than usual.

Well yes but you would. Even you must look back over your life and find the lust for winning, right?

I'm sorry. I forgot that some animals are more equal than others.

I kind of agree with @jon-nyc on this.
Yes, some crimes are more equal than others.
For example, I think that any killing of a police officer in many states is eligible for the death penalty. But the same crime if it happened to an ordinary citizen would not be.
So, a assault on the US capital where the #2 and #3 people in the US were at does seems a bit more serious than breaking the window of the local 7-11 store.
It may not seem fair, but that is the reality of the situation.

By the way, it's police officers you're supposed to be caring about. Not the POTUS or lessers in the chain of command
Education is extremely important.

With the democrats in charge we won't have to worry about police.

The entire idea of English Common Law is whataboutism.

That’s true, but then I’ve never shed crocodile tears about any death outside my immediate family.
Surely you must know that the tu quoque charge is going to fall flat on me. I was critical of the Floyd riots and at least as critical of the ‘racist cops’ narrative behind them as anyone here.

Lots of narratives are falling flat these days. Must be the power of the internet.
