Didnt you watch the news in 2020? The george floyd riots killed considerably more people than jan 6. If u need to see the destruction go to the west coast, or chicago, or baltimore. The country is a mess.

I live in Portland. I lived it and haven't needed to watch the news. The people killed here have OVERWHELMINGLY been by cops or right wing assholes. Context matters
One leftist killed a marauding Trump train participant in self defense and was executed for that by the police. Another was shot but not killed only because he already opened fire and killed someone protesting.
Anyhow, I'm going to brave the charred wasteland of downtown Portland and head into work. Apparently this place is a smoldering crater according to OAN. That would be pretty sweet because the lines at the coffee place would be shorter as a result
