Tell that to my favorite ice cream shop that was smashed to bits on Melrose. Or the synagogues on Fairfax that were defiled. Or the vehicles all over DTLA that were set on fire. Or the man who died of smoke inhalation in a Minneapolis shop because he couldn't escape the flames.

At least 19 people died last summer. Don't downplay it.

That is not equatable with breaking into a national building with the intent to kidnap or kill.

MAGA bludgeoned a Capitol Police Officer to death. Last summer doesn’t compare.

>> Last summer doesn’t compare.

You can state this opinion as fact but I think it is important to acknowledge that many people experienced the events of last summer in a way that makes it quite comparable to them.
