Hopefully the truckers get what they want

Absolutely disgusting

This "peaceful protest" (occupation) causes a lot of problems for the citizens and businesses of Ottawa. I want GoFundMe to be fair about this, but they violated the terms and conditions and now they lost their revenue stream. As a critic of the occupation, this is great news.

If you supported Black lives Matter, you have no right to complain about this. Literally cities were burned and looted for months.

If you were bothered by BLM, you should be by this “mob intimidation”.

There has been far far less violence with the Trucker protest

Fuzzy, 93% of BLM protests were peaceful, and the violent ones were not as big as you seem to think.

The vast majority of demonstration events associated with the BLM movement are non-violent (see map below). In more than 93% of all demonstrations connected to the movement, demonstrators have not engaged in violence or destructive activity. Peaceful protests are reported in over 2,400 distinct locations around the country. Violent demonstrations,5 meanwhile, have been limited to fewer than 220 locations — under 10% of the areas that experienced peaceful protests. In many urban areas like Portland, Oregon, for example, which has seen sustained unrest since Floyd’s killing, violent demonstrations are largely confined to specific blocks, rather than dispersed throughout the city (CNN, 1 September 2020).

And those 7% were far worse than whatever the Truckers are doing

If there were 220 violent right-wing protests over that period of time, Democrats would be calling for the Republican Party to be labeled a terrorist organization.

There weren’t 220 violent rights and many democrats still want to do that

According to some quick googling, only 0.05% of George Floyd protestors were violent. I don't think your scumbag anti-vaxx (but pro-other regulation) truckers are going to win this comparison.

The protests you are defending  resulted in  220 violent riots which is much worse than anything the truckers are doing

Your side did 220 violent riots which is much worse than anything the truckers are doing

It's not about 'sides' doing things. There are more than two sides and lots of bozos all over the place with wackadoodle ideas. Both of your created 'sides' commit more than enough violence to go around. Posters on this forum are not collectively responsible for things that their side has done, nor should they feel foolish because theoretical ideological sympathizers did something bad. That's going to be true for everyone at some point.

The shameful thing is the politicians that failed to denounce or encouraged last summer's violence directed at private citizens and institutions. Given how in lockstep people are with defending whatever their politicians say or do, it would have been solid mitigation against declining standards of acceptable actions. Instead, we got widespread endorsement, which everybody was listening to, not just their base.

This is the part that I most strongly agree with. You routinely see "red avatars" use the "your party" or "your side" attack against "blue avatars". It would not do for "blue avatars" to utilize the same kind of arguments in reverse.

Your side meaning the fact that he was trying to argue the blm protests were not as bad as this one , not in terms of party or ideology

Ok I edited out the your side part

You didn't make it any better. I have never once defended a riot or an act of violence. I have always strongly condemned such things and support peaceful George Floyd protests only.

No you tried to argue the summer 2020 protests were more peaceful then this one which is obviously not the case
