Hundreds of rioters destroyed property, set fires during Trump’s 2017 inauguration, and all charges were dropped

As the FBI continues to arrest dozens of people allegedly involved in the Capitol Building riot earlier this month ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, it was just four years ago when similar rioting took place throughout Washington, D.C., as newly-inaugurated President Donald Trump began his term.

Only then, instead of right-wing protesters, it was a riot dominated by supporters of anarchist groups like Antifa and left-wing organizations including Black Lives Matter.

Video footage that was taken the morning of Trump’s inaugural shows black-clad mobs occupying streets, smashing storefront windows, attacking police officers, overturning trash cans, and generally causing mayhem in protest of what they perceived as a stolen election.

Reports at the time noted that more than 214 people were indicted on felony rioting charges.

But it wasn't an insurrection just a good old fashioned riot.

Equality under the law is a farce. The law does not apply to democrats or their paramilitary armies called antifa, blm and the kkk.

Liberals literally control the definitions of these words, which means they can apply laws based on their new definitions.

AP Stylebook Discourages Use of ‘Riot,’ Expands Definition of ‘Protest’ to Include ‘Violence’

Merriam-Webster lists ‘sexual preference’ as ‘offensive’ after Amy Coney Barrett spat

Thank you. They aren’t liberals in any sense of the word.

The gaslighting of conservatives has been non-stop in the last four years. The left calls Trump “treasonous” and calls us “un-American” even as they suck up to China, demean our history and culture, tear down statues of the Founding Fathers, and riot in the streets.

They did this on and off all 4 years as the left and their media mouth pieces pushed the lie of Russia interference. Even FBI pushed this as part of a coup...yet... crickets

If anything, the last 4 years have taught us that the Deep State does exist, that the entire DOJ does their bidding, that justice is not equal, that the whole Democrat Party and a significant part of the GOP are corrupt.

Exactly, Liberals of my day were hippies, gave their children flowery names, moved off the grid, grew their own food and well, today they would be right wingers LOL. All us hippies just wanted to be left alone, have less government and live off the land

Today, a liberal is a pro-government authoritarian, one who controls the money and controls the masses. In my day we call that person a Fascist

😕 yes, and We kidding and fight back. We can’t even have a place or we can discuss ideas in a political setting without being deplatformed.

I was thinking about Rathergate and the George W Bush National Guard AWOL lie. Imagine if it happened now the bloggers who discover that the documents were fake would have all been kicked off Facebook. Twitter would have banned their tweets and banned their accounts for saying that the documents are fraudulent, the media would have been screaming “there’s no proof! baseless allegations!” it would have never went anywhere.
This is how much control big tech,and the left and the propagandists media now have over free speech in this country.
And not just controlling speech but controlling all the language and federal law enforcement.
