According to this article from the Washington Post, this is what left wing protestors did in Washington D.C. without getting arrested:
Night of destruction across D.C.
June 1, 2020
American flags and parked cars and buildings were lit ablaze — including St. John’s Church, a historic landmark opened in 1816 and attended by every president since James Madison. Firefighters quickly extinguished the basement fire, which police said was intentionally set…
Downtown, baseball bats bashed through windows at coffee shops, banks and one office building after another. Vandals and looters roamed throughout the city, scrawling graffiti and targeting dozens of businesses…
Some hit a liquor store near Foggy Bottom, where young men, both white and black, snatched handles of alcohol and took swigs while others ran off with all they could carry. In Shaw, a Giant grocery store — with employees still inside — was broken into, as was a Sephora in Gallery Place. On H Street NE, looters ransacked a CVS. In Georgetown, the Nike store’s boarded-up doors were broken down and its merchandise plundered. In Friendship Heights and Tenleytown, five miles from the White House, other groups hit a Target and smashed open Rodman’s, a beloved drugstore, specialty grocer and housewares shop — all in one.
Near 15th and H streets, another group set fire to a sandwich shop… The smell of fire hung heavy in the air, and shattered glass speckled the pavement. Gone were the windows of the Lafayette Building, home to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Next door, all the outdoor umbrellas at the Opaline Bar and Brasserie were warped and charred. As police and firefighters showed up to investigate, the destruction continued around them, the looters uncaring.
Meanwhile, according to this other article from the Washington Post, in the same city, right wing protestors were arrested for writing on a public sidewalk with chalk:
Two protesters arrested while chalking ‘Black Pre-Born Lives Matter’ on sidewalk
August 1, 2020
Two protesters outside a Planned Parenthood facility were arrested and charged with defacing public or private property early Saturday, according to D.C. police and video footage.
Erica Caporaletti, a 22-year-old student at Towson University, and Warner DePriest, a 29-year-old D.C. resident, were writing “Black Pre-Born Lives Matter” with chalk on the sidewalk when police arrested them.
Sidewalk chalk does not cause any permanent damage. It easily washes off when it rains. They sell sidewalk chalk at the supermarket where I buy my groceries (the Giant Eagle in Squirrel Hill in Pittsburgh, PA). Children regularly use sidewalk chalk without getting arrested. This incident is the first time that I have ever, ever heard of anyone ever getting arrested for writing on the sidewalk with sidewalk chalk.
Conservative today are yesterday’s Jews of the Euro-Nazi Holocaust.
They’d put us in cattle cars if they could.
What is it called when a mayor lets criminals clog the streets, but arrests decent people who are engaging in a genuinely peaceful protest?
Welcome to Africa
Free Speech is now “right wing”
Many of us are afraid to put Trump stickers on our cars - "liberals" key our cars. Same with telling pollsters who we're going to vote for... our names could be passed on to thugs running future gulags. The only thing democrats are good at is intimidation and thuggery. A pox on their house.
thanks to the GOP. this crap has been going on for years and under Obama. Yet we had both houses and many state houses and the R’s allowed the tea party to be targeted and other conservative law abiding groups.
LEO = Looting Enabling Ostrich
This one is easy. The cops aren’t afraid that conservatives will pull guns and shoot them. Arresting them is quite safe. not so much going after Antifa. Remember. All that’s important is that if the cop gets home safely. Who cares if the civilization is burning down?
The U.S. is reaping the whirlwind of godless living.
Racketeering at best and treason at worst.
so true. the cops are afraid of these scumbags ,but conservative , law abiding , peaceful protestors are attacked. it seems maybe we need to be like them and see how those elected officials like us outside their homes and mass mailing them.
And once again...people demand I support these police officers?

“...They’d put us in cattle cars if they could...”
Without a doubt. Which is why they want all our guns.
I have a Trump sticker on my car.
Ummm, if you’re here you’re fearless. A bumper sticker is noting compared to being a freeper.
I guess they do not want the real sleeping black people to wake up regarding this genocide.
BLM is a joke movement... kabuki theater for blacks to feelsomething is done for them.
central_va ~ ...They’d put us in cattle cars if they could...The government wants to disarm us after 244 yrs 'cuz they plan to do things we would shoot them for!lgjhn23 ~ Without a doubt. Which is why they want all our guns.
At no point in history has any government ever wanted its people to be defenseless for any good reason ~ nully's son
