Surprise surprise, 4 out of 5 of the people who died at the capitol hill riots were unarmed and non-violent pro-trump supporters, the one none Trump supporter killed was a cop who was struck in the head while he was actively beating people with his baton, effectively the one initiating violence and the crowd defended itself by the sound of it, in the interaction he got struck and died a day later from the head injury. Its sad that he got hit and I dont justify the violence overall, but if your the one sitting there beating people with a stick people fighting back is kind of the expectation, its not an acceptable tactic against unarmed civilians IMO.

@freemo Of the four, one was crushed by other rioters, one died of a heart attack, one died of a stroke, and the Air For veteran was trying to break into the Senate chamber.
I understand your point about police, but this is IMO a bad take. These people should not have been in the Capitol in the first place, and there were others in the crowd who did intend to do harm to legislators.

@mathlover Right, how does any of that disagree with what I said... the point of the post is that no one who died was killed by trump protestors except in one case which was clear self defence.

How is it a "bad take" when you havent actually pointed outa nything about what I said that was incorrect or even in disagreement with what i said?

@freemo Sorry. I apologise. I've had 4 drinks and probably should not have written anything
