Yes please go on with your disingenuous list.

Lee Keltner - Killed in Denver by the hired security guard for a journalist.

Aaron Danielson - Killed at dueling protests by self identifying anti-facist (antifa)

Garret Foster - He was a BLM protestor killed by an active Army sergeant.

Tyler Gerth- he was a protest photographer killed by a guy with a grudge over an argument.

David Dorn - Not killed by BLM The protests were several miles away and had disbanded a few hours earlier near the Metropolitan Police Headquarters downtown after clashes between police and a few remaining agitators turned violent

Do I really have to go on?

You make it sound like those on your list were killed BLM mobs and a modicum of investigation makes it obvious you lack perspective. Those that marched on the Capitol were indeed a mob.

Just like how the MSM constantly emphasizes the fact that 5 people died as a result of the capital riots.

When: 2 people died as a result of strokes. No participation in the riot.

1 person trampled by the rioters. 1 unarmed person shot by the police. 1 police officer dead due to being struck in the head.

So clearly, only 2 people died as a consequence of the riots, per your logic.

It really would be surprising if he was able to reign in his worst tendencies until and after the 20th.

It works as is usually on Chinese ISPs though I noticed occasional interruptions. Using a VPN got rid of those disruptions.

Lol

Incompetent criminals are still criminals? Botched crimes don't lead to lenient punishments.

Sure, ignore half of my comment and put words in my mouth (I said nothing about any form of punishment). I'm not defending or excusing Trump's actions, I'm pointing out that there are actually worse people out there and to say otherwise just makes you look like a hyperbolic fool.

"The "coup" was a joke by any standard the only reason it became such a big deal is because DC cops allowed the rioters into the Capitol instead of doing their job."

And yet heavy policing has not solved those problems. It's almost like you should take care of underlying issues that cause these things (community disinvestment etc etc).

So whats your point? Culture changes and what was once permissible is now taboo? This is decidedly not a new phenomenon.

I just can't find any sort of argument being made here.

No one can predict the future but do you believe culture is static and that the cultural landscape of 2050 will the same as 2020?

Close to 30 years ago everyone was up in arms that Murphy Brown was a having a child out of wedlock and without a man! Shock! Horror!

The point is that human life is comparatively long and current technology enables the witch-hunters to destroy people for very old and no longer relevant utterances.

This is something that, IMHO, the society should frown upon and discourage. Destroying people should be as hard as possible, that is why nation states built so many protections into law over centuries.

What about the dudes with zip ties?

That would show wilful intent to “by force...prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of [a] law of the United States” [1]. Insurrection. Jail time, up to twenty years.

Donald Trump, various world powers and the US should be ashamed at their refusal to stand up for Hong Kong. So sad.

They are just well known examples. Like stuff you learn in high school. So a lot of people have the same general knowledge. It doesn't seem like any sort of big conspiracy. In fact before reading the comments here both ideas came to mind immediately.
