What are you talking about? It was a major news story that was replayed over and over again on local news, and many reports delved into who the Moorish American Arms are and what they stand for.Bigjohnski wrote: ↑Jul 7th, '21, 11:51 The armed group arrested in Massachusetts turned out to be all black and after finding out that they were not a white group dropped the story like a hot potato.

More like pointing out hypocrisy. Antifa and BLM setting fire to police precincts and throwing Molotov cocktails into police cars would definitely qualify a insurrections.XtremeJibber2001 wrote: ↑Jul 7th, '21, 10:01This is more whataboutism.throbster wrote: ↑Jul 7th, '21, 09:51So all of the antifa and BLM riots were insurrections.

January 6th wasn't an insurection......
BUT
The act of revolting violently against civil/political authority or against an established government is literally the definition of insurrection.
By and large, I don't think Antifa and BLM riots were insurrections .... I'm not sure if Dunkin Donuts, Best Buy, 7Eleven, etc. has any authority. I think one could argue the protests around Portland's courthouse as well as Seattle's Capitol Hill protest camp may qualify.
Then again I don't know your point? Violence of any kind should have consequences. Participants of January 6th, Seattle, Portland, etc. are learning of this fact. If your point is that somehow what happened in Portland and Seattle is somehow the same as January 6th, I'd say its false equivalence.

Fire to the police precinct occurred in Seattle, didn't it, which I mentioned above.
As for the Molotov cocktails, I'm not aware of any Antifa or BLM doing this. If they had I don't think it would qualify as an insurrection.

Are you referring to the two lawyers torching an empty NYPD van? Were they BLM?

Re: White supremacist group marches through Philadelphia before Fourth of July celebrations
There were a few other times in the rioting that cocktails were tossed, a few times cops were just plain out physically attacked, I remember one time on the Brooklyn bridge where a BLM member attacked a bike cop with a bat....sorry, no links, this info was covered by all the local news broadcasts.

Re: White supremacist group marches through Philadelphia before Fourth of July celebrations
In typical Trumper fashion, Throbster glosses over the actual definition amd focuses only on the nuance that supports his point of view. Rioters following or connected with BLM protests weren't conducting an uprising against authority or established government. They weren't trying to overthrow the government or install a specific leader. The goal of BLM is reform not overthrow. This is also why there's a big difference between a rioter and an insurrectionist. Trying to overthrow our government is a more serious crime than vandalism or assault.
On the other hand, one could argue that the Chaz thing was an insurrection. That was crazy sh!t that should have been dealt with better.

In my opinion, attacking police and trying to burn down courthouses is equal to storming the capital.

And your argument in support of that point is?

Re: White supremacist group marches through Philadelphia before Fourth of July celebrations
Your doing exactly what you accuse Throbster of doing, isn't that whataboutism? No matter how many times you type the word insurrection, Jan 6th was not an insurrection. Do you really believe that the ass clowns in the capital building were going to overthrow the US Government????easyrider16 wrote: ↑Jul 7th, '21, 17:36 In typical Trumper fashion, Throbster glosses over the actual definition and focuses only on the nuance that supports his point of view.
