Amount of Time FBI Spends on Riots Depends on Who is Rioting

EXCLUSIVE: FBI Devoted at Least 16,000 More Hours to Jan. 6 Riot Than to BLM Riots in DC

And here's a very telling little "factoid":

In the first week of the 2020 riots, about 150 local and federal law enforcement officers were injured in the District of Columbia. The 2020 riots ultimately incurred $2 billion in property damage nationally and resulted in at least 19 deaths, according to news reports.

It's no wonder at all that the FBI refused to give the Heritage Foundation the records on this. There was far more damage and physical harm done at the BLM riots than at the "insurrection", yet far fewer hours were devoted to investigating the BLM riots where far more serious crimes occurred.

For the record two people fire bombing a cop car got 15 months in a George Floyd riot. Pepper spraying a cop got 80 months in the Capitol riot.

Justice...liberal style. Lady Justice ain't so blind, after all, is she?

It is laughable how liberal sources like USA Today claim the punishment fit the crimes both committed by J6 and Floyd rioters, equal justice. How a flag pole as thin as a cheap shower curtain rod is a "dangerous and deadly weapon" is beyond me. The people getting hit with them were mostly in riot gear.


With throwing Molotov cocktails you don't know where that fire is going, and even though not as often as in the movies, burning vehicles can explode if there is a lot of space for fumes in the gas tank.

The definition of "riot" seems to differ due to who is participating.

Indeed! We live in the age of fluid, flexible, fluctuating definitions.

The definition of racism is also flexible, very flexible.

BLM rioters are going to get money for 'their abuses by the police'

None of you cons would trust the FBI to investigate anything, right?
So, what's the big deal about looking into the Proud Boys and Oath Spewers?

DO you have any issue with FBI inserting their people into a group to suggest the group do something illegal?

10,000 people were arrested and charged during the BLM protests. So none of them got away with anything.

As for the two you referenced, the prosecutor asked for 18-24 months so 15 really isn’t out of line. Both of them were lawyers. Both have been disbarred. I think they have been sufficiently punished.

Here’s an idea. Have someone hit you in the face with one of those “Curtain rods”. Then have them hit you with a brass flag pole or a wooden one swung at full force. Then tell me it’s ok. Or have them hit you back or your knees. Those rioters and terrorists did not bring curtain rods. They brought metal and wood. Any prison terms they’re serving are too short.

Even the dumb story you linked admits that was total hours worked not hours dedicated to either J 6 or BLM. There’s also the fact that Jan. 6 was a violent attempt to overthrow the government of the United States. 16,000 hours is not enough to put the perpetrators in prison.

See, Biden truly is riddled with dementia. He says you're gonna need some F-16s if you want to defend yourself against the potential tyranny of the good ol' US of A federal government. That's why you don't need that pesky AR-15.

Little does the mushroom soup-brain know...you only need a few of those handy "curtain rods" to get the job done.
