The hypocrisy and double standards is rich here. When people on the right say something provocative, they are "doing something" but when the left does the same thing, they are just exercising free speech. Depicting Trump's beheading, Trump's stabbing, or Trump's assassination is just "free speech". Openly fantasizing about blowing up the White House is free speech. I could go on and on. I don't often like to post links, but this one is good for illustrating my point:

Yes I agree that "The hypocrisy and double standards is rich here".

We are not talking about a scenario where "when people on the right say something provocative, they are "doing something""

THEY DID SOMETHING WHILE THEY WERE SAYING IT. It stopped being free speech and became a mob riot when the first one stepped through the Capital door.

People want to whine, moan and throw their sucker in the dirt because of what has been biasedly said or reported against President Trump. I get that. It has ****ed me off too.

People are mad because of how the left side has portrayed the "mostly peacful" protests. I get that. I think it's atrocious too.

People are saying that the Capital incident is "Free speech" and "Well the other side has been doing it for so long- so it's ok for us to do it". I don't get that. Never will. I hope like heck I never hold myself to that low of a standard. Wrong is wrong - I don't care what side of the asile you are on.

Never once have you seen me defend shinagians the left side has done when it came to things that actually broke the law. I challenge you to do so.

The capitol protests were free speech. The ones who crossed the line were criminals. I don't see how this is not clear. The media did not try to rationalize the invasion of the Capitol or blatantly mischaracterize it. They did rationalize and mischaracterize it the deadly riots last summer when we saw the Marxist BLM and left wing Antifa rioting, looting, burning, mugging, and killing in vast Blue urban centers. The current VP gloated and said this would not stop...."nor should it." The right wing did not establish wealthy funds designed to bailout the looters and assailants. The Democrat politicians extolled the virtues of these initiatives. I understand your effort to create a moral equivalence.....but you can't. Both were very wrong, but one was celebrated by one side, the other was widely condemned. I'm glad you agree with me that the hypocrisy and double standards is rich.

I have 0% problems with and 100% confidence in my "attemp at moral equivilency". From the begining, I was answering the origional question. Why the two ladies that were part of the Capital mob were arrested and not someone like Maxine Waters? I never waivered in my assertion that any idiot can have free speech as long as it didn't spill over into illegal actions.

You are the one that took my assertations and extrapolated them into another scenario. I'm not and never was arguing press biased reporting or the correctness of the left's actions. That's a whole nether kettle of fish.

You don't get it. That's OK. Actually, I think you know darn well what I was driving at.

Right back at ya! Yes, I know what you were driving at. I did get it - but it was apples to oranges and had exactly diddly-squat to do with the point I was making. And I know you know that. It's ok.
