Riots, looting, vandalism, etc.

Not just a Republican but a Trump supporter; some Republicans have opposed him from the start. Powell comes to mind.

I get what you are saying, but disagreed. A street protest is one thing, and done by both sides. Jan 6th was an attack on an electoral count in progress in our very seat of Democracy. Antifa, BLM, and others did not smash through the White House's windows, kill a Secret Service agent by smashing a fire extinguisher on his head, and put their feet up on the desk in the Oval Office. This was different than street demonstrations.

Obvious question: Would Antifa have done that if they could have? I know that some here think I'm minimalizing the riot at the capitol, but from my standpoint, comparing the Trump loonies to the antifa-tards is caustic criticism.
 
Give us one example of BLM or Antfa storming an occupied building looking for people to attack.
How many gallows have BLM/Antifa erected?

Powell hasn't endorsed a single Republican candidate in well over a decade. He hasn't been a Republican in a very long time. The only news is that he finally stopped pretending, but everyone already knew.

Wow, the level of discourse from conservatives has gotten embarrassingly bad.

Whether they 'would have' or not is rather moot, is it not? Right-wing extremists went to a Trump rally at the White House and were then sent to the Capitol to interrupt a session of the Legislative branch of the United States Government, which they did, smashing their way in places and being invited in others. It was done. There was no 'might' or 'maybe they will' about it.

There have been BLM protests there already. That opportunity has already been presented, with no attempt made to assault the government (and accompanied by an actual police presence, unlike the ralliot) that also didn't harm any officers. Also unlike the ralliot.
 
LAPD puts out APB for alleged hate crime assault of a black woman at a Trump protest. This is 5 days after the fact and only after public scrutiny.

The victim was attacked in plain view of the many police who were on the scene. The victim showed cell-phone video of the assault to the commanding officer on the scene and pointed her attackers out in the crowd, but the police refused to make an arrest.

Now they're trying to ID the unknown assailants that they let walk away from the crime scene.

Nibo told BuzzFeed News she feared the mob would beat her to death. She did not respond to our calls seeking comment.

Natalicchio said a number of LAPD officers who were stationed across the street did not intervene.

I watched the video of that* and (prepares to be beaten down) she didn't seem completely innocent...Before you all start, I am absolutely not condoning what happened, it was shocking and hopefully my posting history shows which 'side' I'm on...it was just it was portrayed as innocent person walking home from work but (accepting I may have misunderstood) it looked like she was in their faces, videoing them before it all kicked off. Doesn't excuse it, throw the book at them (including the police who did bugger all) etc, etc and happy to be corrected on context - it just didn't look quite as portrayed (but still shocking).

* I am assuming this is the one I'd seen previously and very happy to be corrected on that or the context.

Here's the video.

The mob of CHUDs follow her down the sidewalk, surround her, jeer, then beat her.

Pulling out a video recorder when being menaced on the public sidewalk is not an unusual response, nor is it provocation in any sense.

It's hard to keep things straight because the crowd uses similar tactics, and many of the same people also menaced another black woman, caught on video, in a very similar way. There are numerous examples of the fascists here committing assaults on counterprotestors without response from the police.
