@no1marauder saidYou made an accusation, only had to go back a couple of days to find violence is the MO of left whingers. You'd like to make rules about how people respond to what you've said?? That's because you know what you said is BS and you don't like being called on your BS.
Wrong "whataboutism".
Please reread the first post here and try to stay on-topic.
@sh76 saidNo. Motive does not make non-crimes into crimes.
So, you're saying the difference is intent?
What if it were proven that the intent of a protester is to destroy Israel and harass Jews?
Would that make it illegal in your mind?
If a Jew hater storms the University administration building with a knife because he hates the Jewish school President he should go to prison.
If a government hater storms the Capitol building with a knife because he hates the politics of the US President there's a strong argument for sending him to Guantanamo.
If Jews are frightened by pro-Palestinian protestors' camps then they should grow a pair.

Very dangerous with all their woke nonsense.

Your dubious "whataboutism" does not change the truth of my statement or the falseness of any supposed comparisons between the actions of the insurrectionists on January 6, 2021 and those of the recent campus protestors against Israel's war on the People in Gaza.
@no1marauder saidI also made a truthful statement.

@athousandyoung saidA disproportionate percentage of those initially arrested at Columbia for trespassing were Jews, mostly affiliated with the group Jewish Voice for Peace - which is an organizer of many of the anti-war encampment throughout the country.

@no1marauder saidIt is relevant to this:
Even if it was it is irrelevant to the issue in this thread.
"...what we have is right wingers again using violence for political reasons."
Didn't have to look hard, in fact only had to go back a few days to find left whingers from all over the world using violence (the MO of the left) for political reasons.
@no1marauder saidjan 6th was just a “sit in” …per your very words

Sit-ins are not proceeded by mass attacks on police but by peaceful occupation of areas and/or buildings.

@wajoma saidThat makes it an irrelevant "whataboutism" even assuming the incidents were not actions of police repression rather than mass violence by demonstrators (discussion of which would be an irrelevant side track - which is apparently what you are shooting for since you cannot contest the accuracy of my statement).

EDIT: I usually don't waste my time watching YouTubes but the one you presented didn't show a single policeman being attacked, never mind the scale of violence that occurred on January 6, 2021 so I rate it as a "false whataboutism".

One of literally hundreds of videos available to the public:
@mott-the-hoople said" More than 300 people have been charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers, including more than 100 who have been charged with using a deadly or dangerous weapon or causing serious bodily injury."
