How come the people wanting to storm Michigan are deemed heroes , and yet the people protesting Police brutality are deemed terrorists?

None needed, but some of you will no doubt be confused by the question.

I wasn’t aware anyone was calling them heroes. As far as I can see, the leaders are being charged as criminals.

I’m pretty sure you are speaking of the cult followers of the guy who stole the last election from the majority of voters. It is not commonly accepted.

One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter. Two decades of American foreign policy taught me that.

It could be like the Antifa/BLM fools rioting, looting and burning…and even beating and killing. You have heard all sorts of accolades for them “expressing themselves” and “peacefully protesting”, but you never hear them called or treated like terrorists. It’s all on your point of view, I guess.

It’s that trump mentality. He fosters hatred and rage in his followers.

@seawulf575 So I take it your are pro fascist?

@Dutchess_III Not sure where you got that. I’m okay with people attempting criminal activities like they did in Michigan to be arrested and prosecuted. I’m also against the fascists that call themselves Antifa. But apparently you are okay with their violence?

You said It could be like the Antifa/BLM fools rioting, looting and burning.
You obviously don’t approve of the antifascist movement. So are you pro facist?

@Dutchess_III I noticed you dodged the question I asked you. Are you okay with the violence from the left? As for this question, the antifascist movement is antifascist only in name. Beyond that, they are fascists. Their methods are brown shirt, jack-boot thug actions all the way. So is that what you support?

LOL! I didn’t dodge the question. You asked where I got the idea you were pro fascist and I told you. The reading comprehension issue raises its ugly head again.
I’m pretty sure that, for the most part, BLM and Antifa are peaceful protestors. But if a riot breaks out within 100 square miles of them they are blamed for it. And gullible people like yourself, @seawulf575, swallow it hook line and sinker, because you’re racist.
