3. Color me dubious

Last summer's BLM marches in support of social justice to protest of rogue police acting as judge, jury, and executioner of Black citizens were "riots."

Angry supporters of the losing candidate for President stormed the Capitol with stun guns and hockey sticks, used American flags as spears, erected a gallows, shouted Hang Mike Pence, broke windows to gain entry, murdered Officer Sicknick, shat in the hallowed halls of Congress, assaulted CPD officers with bear spray, and left four others dead. But that was a peaceful protest.

Color me dubious.

Next, any time three people of color gather, will they call that a riot, too?
