Interesting perspective when it's your house or place of work, and it's you on the other side of those broken windows. Suddenly the specter of a group of idiots rampaging through an area breaking doors and windows, looting businesses, tearing down monuments, setting fires... https://twitter.com/RepSeanMaloney/status/1347626297367941121
...shutting down roads and commerce, and accosting residents in their homes seems a bit more personal - and serious - when it's your house, your neighborhood, your business. Some idiots broke into @SpeakerPelosi's office and she immediately fired/forced to resign the head of...
...the Capitol police and House Sergeant at Arms. And rightfully so - the natural reaction to thugs rampaging through your personal shit is to call the police and let them do their jobs. Just spend a minute or two scrolling through twitter and witness the outrage and calls for...
...immediate and drastic law enforcement action for allowing those idiots license to rampage. Scroll through those accounts to see what they had to say all summer when it was somebody else's house, or business, or neighborhood that was being assaulted while law enforcement...
...was either forced to stand back and allow it and/or were themselves (and their property) the targets. Today it's "Arrest them all - they're terrorists! Spare no expense and throw the book at them!" Back then - somebody else's house, remember - it was "The people have a right..
...to express themselves in these protests, which are mostly peaceful."

There's no excuse for any of it, including the hypocrisy. It is quite a spectacle to observe, though.
The Dem politicians losing their collective minds over having THEIR workplace violated didn't say anything different than Donald Trump said in his speech when it was happening to anyone but them. In fact, their response to months of nightly violence on OTHERS was the worst...
...form of incitement, in that they simply refused to acknowledge that any such violence was being carried out. No heartfelt twitter statements of outrage, no calls for thousands of LE and FBI to form task forces to identify and arrest all involved, no calls for the heads of...
..police departments and local politicians allowing it to happen. None of that - that would be somewhat honorable, in that it would be meant to protect OTHERS from this scourge. What they decided to do, instead, was to engage in a conspiracy of silence and abetment. But just...
...listen to them now. Suddenly this sort of behavior is a national emergency.
Watching @CNN as they interview members of congress describing the horror of the invasion of their work place, describing the damage done and things taken, all delivered with breathless outrage and contempt for the perpetrators. I wonder how many months/years it would take to...
...host three-minute interviews of all of the citizens and business owners similarly vandalized by BLM/Antifa this summer - and currently. I'm not doubting or disregarding the outrage and anger of these politicians - it's a natural reaction to vandalism, and you want something...
...done to show the perpetrators that there are consequences to these actions. You want something done to make sure it doesn't happen again - that you and your colleagues/neighbors/fellow business owners are safe. So where were they all summer?
