double standards:

2 Oct: National Review: AP Stylebook Discourages Use of ‘Riot,’ Expands Definition of ‘Protest’ to Include ‘Violence’
by Brittany Bernstein
The Associated Press Stylebook was amended this week to discourage the use of the word “riot” to describe violent protests, instead expanding the definition of “protest” to include violent demonstrations.

“Use care in deciding which term best applies: A riot is a wild or violent disturbance of the peace involving a group of people. The term riot suggests uncontrolled chaos and pandemonium,” said the AP Stylebook, which sets style guidelines followed by many mainstream media publications.

“Focusing on rioting and property destruction rather than underlying grievance has been used in the past to stigmatize broad swaths of people protesting against lynching, police brutality or for racial justice, going back to the urban uprisings of the 1960s,” it added...

The recommendation comes after months of rioting and looting in cities nationwide sparked by the death of George Floyd in May...

“Protest and demonstration refer to specific actions such as marches, sit-ins, rallies or other actions meant to register dissent. They can be legal or illegal, organized or spontaneous, peaceful or violent, and involve any number of people,” the AP said. “Revolt and uprising both suggest a broader political dimension or civil upheavals, a sustained period of protests or unrest against powerful groups or governing systems.”...

6 Jan: AP Stylebook: How to describe the events at the U.S. Capitol
by John Daniszewski, Vice President for Standards
AP style in the event of civil disturbances allows editors and journalists to choose the term that in their judgment best applies. So far, our main story has spoken of a “chaotic protest aimed at thwarting a peaceful transfer of power,” a “melee” and a “raucous, out-of-control scene.”

MOB, RIOT OR INSURRECTION OK: Considering that armed protesters broke into the building, overwhelmed Capitol police, interrupted the process of certifying Electoral College votes and forced the evacuation of the vice president of the United States and members of Congress, “protest” may be too mild a word for the action without surrounding it with strong adjectives and context, such as “violent protest” or “rioting protesters.” Calling it a “mob” or a “riot” would also be appropriate, especially when the protesters’ actions were wild, widespread, violent and uncontrolled. The term “insurrection,” meaning the act of rising up against established authority, could also be justified.

NOT A COUP: Some people and broadcasters are calling the protesters’ action a “coup” or a “coup attempt,” meaning a sudden, organized seizure of political power or an attempt by a faction or group to seize political power suddenly outside of the law. We may of course quote others alleging a coup or attempted coup, but so far AP has not seen conclusive evidence that the protesters’ specific aim was to take over the government, so at this stage we are avoiding the term in AP copy unless attributed.

As always, journalists should look at the events with an open and dispassionate mind and decide what language best applies. When in doubt, consult managers and senior news leadership.

Finally, reiterating our recent Standards message: Please refrain from expressions of personal opinion about these political events in your social media or contacts with others. Let’s let the facts in AP’s reporting speak for themselves...

Silent for 120 days while cities burned and billions of Dollars of damage was done in cities. Also billions in stolen goods from looting.

Well, Harris did say that sort of thing wouldn't and shouldn't stop.

Oh, does he mean like the leftists in Chaz who essentially declared their independence from the government? Or the Antifa/BLM rioters who spent the better part of a year tossing fireworks, frozen bottles, and Molotov cocktails at cops, looting and burning down businesses, destroying historical artifacts, terrorizing motorists, murdering several people and assaulting hundreds?

Or do leftists get an automatic pass when they commit far more violence and destruction and for much longer? We already know the answer to that in our Brave New Marxist America where the intolerant left demands unequal treatment for anyone who disagrees with them.

Why aren’t we allowed to do the same thing? Oh wait, we will in a country where there are two sets of rules.

To which the GOP establishment happily subscribes.

He acts like a man who knows he has less supporters than the one he won against.

A true 74 million beats a fake 80 million every time.

Wait for it....

Let’s hope the Antifa/BLM goons will soon start turning on them now that they their purpose has been served and are being thrown under the bus. They want their spotlight, but the Commies are only projecting on patriots now, so the Antifa/BLM factions might be getting upset.

He knows he didn’t legitimately win.
Ergo, attack the people who rejected him.
Compare to Obama’s behavior against America, twice.
He likely didn’t legitimately win either, look at how he screeched that america was raysis right after both elections.
