Yeah, those images weren't cherry picked or anything.
They WEREN'T.
Did anything like the picture on the left happen during the widespread, multi-city, racial protests that went on for several months during the summer?

Did anything like the picture on the left happen during the one-day post-rally protes... I mean "VIOLENT ARMED INSURECTION"... at the capitol on Jan 6th?

...and they were armed and invaded the capitol... that's a bit unique. Why pretend it isn't?
Why PRETEND they were "armed"?
Do a Google image search for "capitol insurrection photos". Now try to find some photos of people armed with their AR's or shotguns or pistols.
Hmmm. Okay. Try this then. Do a Google search for "capitol armed insurrection photos".
Damn. Still not seeing any crowds of people with guns... or crowds carrying any other noticeable non-firearm weapons. Although... Elsewhere, during news broadcasts, I did see a couple of pictures somewhere of someone spraying pepper spray. That might qualify as "armed". Let's have a moment of silence for all the thousands of people killed by pepper spray in the last year.

Okay... now... Would you like me to identify where this photo was taken? Right down the street from my moms cousins church in Stone Mountain Georgia. I used to ride my bicycle down that street on my way into Stone Mountain Park when I was a kid. Are you old enough to have children? Would you let your child ride his/her bike past that group of people?

That is what an "armed insurrection" usually looks like to normal people when they aren't being biased and taking political affiliations into account.
