Seen a lot of "Imagine if this was BLM" takes.
Actually, this looks very like what would happen if a progressive march went psychotic and overwhelmed the police. It's to the credit of organisers that they *don't*. https://twitter.com/KySportsRadio/status/1347031398176223233

Crucially, the key difference yesterday may have been that there is no perceived downside to this bunch in crossing the line into full-blown riots, whereas any sane BLM (or Remain) advocate would know that if this happened at their march, the cause would be totally discredited.
Obviously, that produces a racist outcome and a race to the bottom (e.g. if this comes off without consequences, why *wouldn't* Antifa-style orgs do the same?)
Which is why there should be serious consequences.

I strongly suspect this gurning disrespectful chaos is exactly what you'd see if Antifa stormed the Capitol. Crucially, they're not remotely capable of this, NOR ARE THEY OPENLY SUPPORTED BY ONE OF THE TWO MAJOR PARTIES. https://twitter.com/greg_jenner/status/1347146787325358085?s=20
