Pretty much. Sadly many people feel like others should be punished forever due to even simple crimes, like theft.

Can someone please explain this one? The only thing I know is that her father basically has juristic ownership of her (or something like that) and she's not allowed to do almost anything without his approval

BLM is about deaths and unfair treatment of minorities by law enforcement spanning decades/centuries. Jan 6 was about people throwing a temper tantrum because their candidate lost in an election where their side did all they could to suppress minority votes.

The difference is that BLM was not created with the intent of violence. A handful of people with no authority within the BLM movement used it as an excuse to riot and took advantage of mob mentality to get that to spread. It's quite different when the leader of a movement is actively promoting rioting and mob mentality...

Since people thought I was parroting QAnon when I posted how this was all fake news, here is the New York Times spreading the lie, straight from government officials, that the crowds killed a police officer. Note the "new information" is that officer Sicknick was completely unharmed and that his death had no known links to violence at the Capital. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/08/us/brian-sicknick-police-capitol-dies.html Here is footage of the Capital Hill police allowing protestors in the building: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnbtC3R4NxA Now they're spinning it as the police were "complicit," but the point is that they're not trespassers ihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRIvAqa0hAI No protestors had guns. The only killing was a police officer firing into a crowd. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2021/01/08/ashli-babbitt-shooting-video-capitol/ (reported as crowds storming through a broken window. Notice, the window is an interior one and no-one is going in

One police officer died directly as a result of the insurrectionists. Because there was a large violent mob attacking the police, it's difficult to pinpoint exactly who is responsible. But that does not absolve the mob, it simply means it would be hard to make criminal charges stick against any one individual for the crimes committed that day. Another officer committed suicide within the week. Far more officers had serious injuries resulting from the insurrectionists. Including but not limited to: heart attacks, loss of an eye, loss of fingers, spinal injuries, chemical burns, and stab wounds. That doesn't even take into account the PTSD that many of the officers are dealing with. Everyone saw what happened on January 6th, so please stop with this "fake news" nonsense. The people who stormed that building were absolutely trespassing. There was an attempted insurrection and thank God it was unsuccessful. It's horrifying how quickly some are trying to diminish what happened that day.

Can this blood libel die already? The only guns were held by the government. The government lied about a police officer being killed. Video now shows that the demonstrators were allowed entry by security. The legendary "mobs climbing through windows" consisted of a broken interior window through which no-one passed until a protestor was murdered by a security guard. The congresswoman fearing for her life was in a safe room where no protestors were present.

Official drivers: Leilla Lomardi, Williams, Giovanna Amanti, Brabham. Test drivers: Sussie Wolff, Williams. Tatiana Calderón, Alfa Romero. BTW, this can be like the tweet of Burger King in march 8: Woman belong to the kitchen. Mentioning there are more male chefs than woman. maybe woman don't want to be F1 drivers.
