I abhor the stupidity and violence of the BLM and other protests. As soon as they went from "marching" to "vandalism" ... they lost me. That said, there's a whopping big difference between a protest that breaks windows to occupy the local CVS ... and an organized riot that desecrates and occupies the national Capital in an attempt to halt a constitutionally mandated task associated with the peaceful transition of power. One is illegal and represents a danger to the neighborhood. The other is sedition and represents a danger to our democracy. To compare those two as equals demonstrates a false-equivalence that's both remarkable and troubling. And that's all I'll say about that ... since the last time I gave an opinion like this, I was repeatedly and angrily "violated". (Although the guy that told me to go have gay sex with Hillary Clinton did make me laugh a bit.)
I hesitate to use the word "retard", largely because it denigrates the mentally disabled who function at an exponentially greater level then this post would imply.
I do, however, agree with your point that the two acts:
A. communist BLmarxists burning private property to address a grievance with the government
and
B. citizens of the Republic seeking redress of their grievances on public property with those who govern present
....are not equivalent.
Unless I am grossly mistaken, we do not elect liquor store owners, CVS or Target stores to oversee the operations of Law Enforcement or the elections of public employees including but not limited to Federal Senate, House, State Senate or House, Governor, Sheriff or even Dog Catcher.

There was one fatality. A veteran named William Hashka, from Chicago, was caught in police fire near the US Capitol.
After it was all over, the authorities involved gave their reactions. President Hoover released a statement on July 28, in which he twice referred to “so-called bonus marchers,” and added, “An examination of a large number of names discloses the fact that a considerable part of those remaining are not veterans; many are Communists and persons with criminal records.”
MacArthur added, “It was animated by the essence of revolution.” He added that only about 10% of the men driven away from the camps were actually genuine veterans.
On July 29, Vice President Charles Curtis was making a speech in Las Vegas, when hecklers raised the events in Washington. Curtis shouted back, “You cowards, I’m not afraid of any of you.”
Also on July 29, General Glassford denied that he had wanted the troops to clear out the camps, or that his police couldn’t have handled the situation peacefully, before violence broke out. He also blamed the removal order for causing all the trouble, and had opposed the use of troops.
As for the newspapers of that day, the Associated Press released a list briefly describing their editorial reactions. Out of 30 papers, 21 more or less supported the government’s response. The Ohio State Journal, of Columbus, Ohio, for instance, wrote: “President Hoover chose the course that Lincoln chose, that presidents have always chosen.”
On the other hand, the Chicago Herald and Examiner, referring to President Hoover by name, called his actions “sheer stupidity” that were “without parallel in American annals.”
Four years later, in 1936, the veterans did get their bonus, when Congress voted the money over President Franklin Roosevelt’s veto. In 1944, while World War II was still raging, Congress passed the G.I. Bill, to assist veterans in receiving a higher education.
The mainstream media are completely beside themselves with outrage over what happened at the Capitol last week. It was appalling, to be sure, but these jackasses only care about riots when they are…
