I dunno.

BLM may claim not to be responsible for the horrendous roiots and crime that has been committed in its name across America.

Trump may claim that he is not responsible for the tiny (in proportion) riots that happened in DC.

(IMO, they are both responsible, thus making BLM the one with more blood on its hands. But nobody asked me.)

BLM may claim that it is in their rights to fight law and order if it causes harm to individuals.

Trump may claim it is in his right to complain about law and order when (in his opinion) it was not lawful.

(IMO, this is a finer line. He certainly can legally complain. Riots are over the line for either right or left)

Stripe processes payments for BLM, and Twitter allows their posts, etc. So IMO the line they walk is fine and biased.

One of the many issues I have with the arguments equating the Black Lives Matter protests to the Trump protests last week is that people tend to want to compare this one single Trump event to all protests nationwide over a period of months. If we’re doing an apples-to-apples comparison, here’s the Black Lives Matter DC protest: https://www.forbes.com/sites/rachelsandler/2020/06/06/large-...

...or, conversely, we should compare damage and lives lost during Black Lives Matter protests to all damage and lives lost by Trump-supporting white supremacists.
