Your own link references studies that refute your assertion,

Don’t think it’s just about race though, in this case you also have a mob decked out in MAGA gear and American flags who fanatically support the President...I’d wager a lot of the capital police support him as well.

Still don’t understand how they let this happen.

you’re ignoring what BlLM got away with this summer, and for how long. easy to make your point when you ignore what refutes your point.

I’ve read that about 15,000 people were arrested over the summer in protest related activities. That doesn’t sound like getting away with much.

But to make comparisons like that is pretty stupid. For months the President and his sycophants have been brazenly lying to the American people to undermine our Democracy. They have activated crazies and instigated an insurrection at the US Capital like never before seen in our lifetimes.

Guess what, now that they have seen what they can do they will try and up their game. Trump is playing with fire and he just doesn’t get it.

what’s stupid, is saying every single
time, that the liberal was right and the conservative was wrong. being physically incapable of speaking against a party platform, ever.

Oh the irony, Trumps executive order might put his crazy supporters in some serious trouble.

Sec. 2. Policy. (a) It is the policy of the United States to prosecute to the fullest extent permitted under Federal law, and as appropriate, any person or any entity that destroys, damages, vandalizes, or desecrates a monument, memorial, or statue within the United States or otherwise vandalizes government property. The desire of the Congress to protect Federal property is clearly reflected in section 1361 of title 18, United States Code, which authorizes a penalty of up to 10 years’ imprisonment for the willful injury of Federal property. More recently, under the Veterans’ Memorial Preservation and Recognition Act of 2003, section 1369 of title 18, United States Code, the Congress punished with the same penalties the destruction of Federal and in some cases State-maintained monuments that honor military veterans. Other criminal statutes, such as the Travel Act, section 1952 of title 18, United States Code, permit prosecutions of arson damaging monuments, memorials, and statues on State grounds in some cases. Civil statutes like the Public System Resource Protection Act, section 100722 of title 54, United States Code, also hold those who destroy certain Federal property accountable for their offenses. The Federal Government will not tolerate violations of these and other laws.
