> The mob has been coming for law enforcement and federal buildings in many major cities in America for nine months now

They're "coming for" police reform and transparency.

Please don't misrepresent or generalise very disparate groups of demonstrators.

So the ends justify the means? Only certain ideas are allowed for mobs to be okay?
Many governors said as much this past year when they allowed, and in many cases took part in, BLM protests but banned anti-lockdown ones.
Yes, incredibly frustrating. Lots of the media played along with it as well.
That is correct. It is okay to rally against police brutality; it is not okay to hold a Nazi rally.
The mobs were not comparable.
Does it matter? Isn't a mob a mob?
I love it when people try to gaslight us like we haven't seen the shit that happened last year. The capitol building "coup" was like watching a kids bop version of BLM/antifa.
