That was not a peaceful protestor, if you are storming the Capitol while it is in session, you are violent.

You can do that non-violently

..... not while breaking down windows and doors and climbing into the building while armed and chasing security with a mob.

You can't break and enter non-violently.

So when Antifa was firebombing Portland City Hall you'd call that violent as well? It happened for months.

Except that it actually didn't?

Are you serious? Even the mayor of Portland wants help cracking down.

And what about BLM protestors attacking Republicans like Rand Paul in DC?

But the media conveniently made excuse why it was “mostly peaceful” then a few Trump loonies barge their way into the capital, one of them gets shot, and “it’s a coup attempt”.

The double standard is amazing.

They firebombed a single building for "months"? That sounds excessive. /s
