White and Mad Defined Average Rioter

Asinine article by the failing NYTimes. Someone needs to shutter the old gray lady. More than a half million Trump supporters went to DC to support Trumps effort to see the contested election fairly adjudicated. A few of those "rioted" when Pence's letter was released. ANTIFA also had permits for a rally that day, a few also participating in the "riot". A "riot" that was over befor dark. No looting, no pillaging, no arson. No insurrection.

But not legally adjudicated, and egged on by the President of the United States.
 
Here's an interesting NYT article describing a study finding that white grievance led to the Capitol riot. The indicator, like a beacon in the fog, identifies counties with declining white populations as those most likely to produce insurrectionists.

Fears of White People Losing Out Permeate Capitol Rioters’ Towns, Study Finds

So much for the theory that economic angst gave us Trumpism. It was just racism....like we said all along.



Did we really need a study to prove the obvious?



Well, considering the tendency for Trumpers to gaslight, we probably did. Here's something else to consider as you look upon your fellow middle class and upper-middle class overly anxious white neighbor waving a Trump flag.

There are thousands of white kids that have been vandalizing, beating people, and burning cities for 2 years.

They are not "Trumpy" voters, but they sure as hell feel like they are losing out too.

Any more hypocrisy to spare this fine evening?

So far those angry white kids have not attacked the US Capitol. But, you know who did? Angry middle and upper middle class white men over 40.

It took a attack on the Capital to wake your ass up?

5 Dallas cops were massacred protecting a BLM/Antifa protest, and the Liberals here on DP forgot about it in a week.

Hypocrisy.
 
"White and mad." You need to pay better attention to what is written.
Why are they "mad" do they have mental problems, do they need to be locked away from normal people?

And members of Antifa and BLM dressed up to LOOK LIKE conservatives.

To be fair, they didn't seek to violently overturn a national election at the direction of the President of the United States.
 
To be fair, all you had to do was watch a video or two

Where is the hypocrisy? The NYT covered those riots and criminal arrests as well, and also analyzed the perpetrators and what their motivations were. While the behavior is comparably criminal, (though it must be pointed out that only the Trump supporters seized and looted the Capitol building) their motives are not comparable. One was angry because of systemic racism and police brutality, the other was angry because they were fooled by government-sponsored propaganda into believing that the U.S. democratic process was illegitimate, and that it was possible to install an unelected person as president of the United States through physical force.
 
Unlike overprivileged whites, they actually have reason to be.
Right. Because whites would never have reason to be upset about anything. Appreciate the racist perspective calamity.
 
Which other riot tried to disrupt the peaceful transfer of federal power?
Oh, so riots only matter when that happens? Good to know.
 
To be fair, they didn't seek to violently overturn a national election at the direction of the President of the United States.
In other words, rioting is fine in your mind so long as it is limited to the destruction of property, assaults on police and innocent bystanders, murder, vandalism, looting and arson.

Hypocrisy.
Apples and oranges, mostly because the two motives were completely different.

Didn't say that. Would you call the assassination of a president just a murder?

I wonder what lead to the six months of murder, looting, burning, rioting during the summer. Can't wait for the study.
The six months of mob rule changed policies like defund the police which is causing more injury and death.
I forgot, peaceful protests by Biden supporters.
Except for the ones that were breaking windows to shop target and walmart, I believe the rioters were white elites with daddy paying their way through Columbia, Yale or Harvard.

Nice attempt to bring apples into an orange grove.
 
Funny how there were hundreds of riots in 2020 that caused multiple deaths, injuries and billions in property damage, but the NYT Times only saw fit to do an analysis of just one of them.

Not surprising.
Look at CBS 60 minutes. They lied about DeSantis and ignore the story about Cuomo and Newsome.
It is no secret, NYT has an agenda. They are affiliated with the democrat party.
The media is no longer a trusted organization.
