I remember watching coverage of the activities on Jan 6 and "a small contingent of protestors" was not what I saw, unless you define "small" as greater than 5000. There were a LOT of people at the Capitol and they were not having a picnic.

The Park Service estimates 45,000 protestors. It is estimated that somewhere between 600-700 entered. Out of that 600-700, most were not violent.

When I watched the TV footage of the previous 18 months of BLM and Antifa protests, it looked like all of it was violent looting with cities on fire.

18 months? I mean, I ignore most of what you write because it is remarkably ignorant and nonsensical rambling, but 18 months?

May 2019 through November 2020. Come on now, you can count.

where were there BLM protests in 2019?

Much of the BLM protests started off peacefully, then became violent for a number of reasons. They were in response to the impact of police on black people. To me, Antifa are the same as the Proud Boys, 3%ers, Oath Keepers, up for agitation. I can't equate the BLM protests with what happened on Jan 6, but violence will never be the answer regardless of the issue. The world is changing, to my mind, for the better. We all need to discuss issues to better understand each other. Beating the crap out of the other person is not conducive to that end.

My man, the BLM protests lasted roughly the summer. Where are you getting 18 months from? 18 months from January 2021 would mark them as going continuously since mid-2019.

The kind of pseudo intellectualism strikes again.
