To paraphrase George Orwell in “Animal Farm“:
“All political violence is equal. But some is more equal than others.”
DC has ignored many decades’ worth of political violence of all sorts.
Because all of those political violences — have been committed by Leftists.

“(I)n most instances the radicals in Black Lives Matter and Antifa were allowed to get away with their heinous actions last year, even being treated as heroes by the mainstream press and Democrats – some of whom, like Harris and the Biden campaign, promoted their bail funds.”
This brings us back to last week. When the following happened — the very latest in the VERY long line of Leftist violences.
Climate Change Activists Storm the Department of Interior Building to Takeover
“A demonstration in Washington, D.C., against fossil fuel projects turned violent Thursday when climate change protesters stormed the U.S. Department of the Interior building and occupied a space inside the federal building for hours….
“Climate activists took over the space held by the Bureau of Indian Affairs for roughly four hours. According to reports, this was the first time that Washington, D.C.’s Bureau of Indian Affairs was occupied since 1970. The Indigenous Environmental Network (is) one of the organizers of the People Vs. Fossil Fuels demonstrations.…”
“Police and protesters clashed during the confrontation. The police reportedly used Tasers in order to control the crowd attempting to bulldoze their way into the Department of Interior building.”
DC will do something about it? Of course not – don’t be ridiculous.
So, We’re Just Going to Ignore a Bunch of Green Warriors Who Tried to Storm the Department of the Interior?
We certainly are.
The Left getting away this time with it means that there will undoubtedly be another time.
The Left would not stop engaging with violences if they don’t get punished for their actions.
Why Charges Against Protesters Are Being Dismissed by the Thousands – November 19, 2020:
“Prosecutors declined to pursue many of the cases because they concluded the protesters were exercising their basic civil rights.”
Ummm…
First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law…abridging…the right of the people peaceably to assemble….”
Emphasis ours — because duh. “Basic civil rights” does NOT include assaulting and occupying government buildings. Arson, looting, and vandalism are also beyond the definition of “basic civil rights.”
And in many, many cases, it’s these prosecutors doing the dismissing….
Beware of George Soros’ Trojan Horse Prosecutors
Is it possible to tell if Leftists who are allowed to use violence lead more Leftist violence in the future?
Since Leftists are able to get away with violence since decades.
The Weather Underground bombers didn’t become prisoners — they became college professors.

Because Leftists continue to escape with their violence we can morally be sure that more Leftist violence will occur.
We only have human nature — and hundreds of years of human history — as evidence.
