Not sure of the exact number but it's now a serious nation wide phenomenon. It also certainly could be a federal issue if federal laws are being broken. The definition of a domestic terrorist under the Patriot Act is very broad and certainly could apply to some of the more violent offenders, violation of federal mail statutes etc...

More serious than the race riots of 2020? Because we didn't get the feds involved in that. Have BOW protesters killed more people, done more damage, than those idiots?

Are you really that ignorant?
Did you miss what the Trump administration did in Portland?
That the internal reports of federal agencies said that the political appointees within DHS falsely tried to create Antifa operations in Portland
More than 25 Million people participated in BLM protests
Very few had any destruction
January 6th had a far higher percentage of people who did violent destructive acts, they must be heroes

they weren't heroes and it was over in a couple of hours with nothing burnt to the ground and most will face charges if they broke the law.....I guess the left has more activists, longer tantrums and are more thorough in their trespassing with less accountability

so his response is this…
the BLM/antifa riots weren’t that bad. And if they were bad, it’s Trumps fault.

Five
And the cost was half a billion dollars
Pretty high for a 8000 person attempted coup

And there goes Jim carrying the Conservatives Torch trying to compare the 2 riots as some how equal ! All while ignoring Trumps behavior before during and after the election seeding doubt in our elections…. And even as it becomes clear he attempted to get the DOJ involved . The Republicans and Jim and other Trump supporters make excuses
Grassley’s argument ultimately boiled down to this: It wasn’t so bad, because Trump didn’t actually get the Justice Department to do what he wanted it to do. Oh, and when he failed at that, he didn’t actually make good on his threats to start firing people and install a loyalist to lead the DOJ.
So Ya he Tried but he failed so what’s the Big Deal!!!!
Hea Donald can you come to my re-election rallies I need the support of your seditious followers an love autocratic leader like you

i’m not saying the blm riots were the same as january 6th, i’m saying the blm riots were a million times worse.
What did the january 6th riots achieve?? First of all, the majority of republicans condemned what happened. Second, the rioters didn’t kill anybody or do tens of billions in damage. and for sure, while some of them hoped to reinstate trump as president, that was never going to happen, it did absolutely NOTHING to alter our democratic process. Nothing.
Compare that to the BlM riots. Almost nobody influential
on the left condemned the riots, they were billed as peaceful. People were murdered, God knows the property damage from fire. Worst of all, that anti cop furor is absolutely permeating into our way of life. some of the most powerful democrats in washington are calling to defund the police, and many large police forces are seeing officers leave and create openings that can’t be filled because no sane person would want to be a cop in a big city right now. Liberals in the media never give the cop the benefit of the doubt, every single time they declare the white cop guilty before the investigation is done.
There is no comparing the effect of the BLM riots to what happened in January 6th. There is no meaningful number of republicans in DC who want to continue the work
of what those idiots did on January 6. By contrast, there are plenty of powerful elected democrats who fully support the cause of the BLM rioters.
That summer, democrats said you couldn’t go to mass because of covid, but they specifically allowed BLM protests and riots. They denied freedom of assembly ( which is guaranteed in the constitution, nowhere does it say “unless there’s a pandemic”) to those not sympathetic to their agenda, and reserved freedom of assembly to those who are sympathetic to their agenda.
I would love to see you attempt to make that wrong. I would truly love it.
you keep saying that republicans want a dictator for president. it shows how completely ignorant you are. we want a much less powerful federal presence than democrats want. you don’t understand anything. zip. stick to catching tuna.

Ps Republican do want an autocrat running the country their to dumb they just call Trump a patriot . Thinking that’s what an autocrat is ..
That’s why Republicans love Putin
Why are Republicans using Putin’s talking points? This study helps explain.
Increasingly, Republican voters think Vladimir Putin is a good leader. But Russians don’t feel the same way about President Trump.
You really need to expand you reading list
