There's been multiple investigations and, quite literally, thousands of arrests with hundreds of convictions so far... Including a known hate group officially being convicted for seditious conspiracy - working with people on the inside with the intent to stop the election. It took years and was proven in court. And you think that is peaceful? When was anyone from BLM charged with (let alone convicted of) seditious conspiracy or was it even discussed that they might be charged with it?

> Nobody shot the place up.

It's been proven and admitted by Oath Keepers that they brought a trove of firearms to DC and stored them, ready to hand them out. Yes, they were armed with stun guns, pepper spray, baseball bats and flagpoles wielded as clubs... And oh yeah several absolutely had firearms.

> Nobody shot congress people.

They were chanting for the death of Mike Pence and there's loads of footage of these people roaming the halls of Congress trying to find Pelosi and other liberals while they're armed to the teeth. Why do you think multiple people were shown with zip-tie handcuffs when they broke into congressional offices? ...What do you think would have happened if this mob had actually gotten face-to-face with liberal representatives?

> Nobody burned the building down.

They trashed the building, raided offices, stole items and paperwork and computers, smeared shit on the walls, smashed windows and statues, but I guess that's all okay because they didn't burn anything down?

> In this country, where every left winger screams about how many runs there are in this country, the only person shot was an unarmed girl.

Calling her "an unarmed girl" is some shit, dude. That's a former Air Force veteran and officer. That's someone with a history of violence and harassment of neighbors. She was shot as she and the rest of the mob were screaming and attempting to overcome a barricade within Congress while being told over and over again to stay back and not go through there by security as they were in the middle of evacuating the politicians from THE VIOLENT AND ANGRY MOB WHO WERE THERE CHANTING FOR THEIR HEADS. She was the first over the barricade so she caught the bullets. She even has a history of losing her mind and ramming her SUV into someone years before the Jan 6th insurrection attempt... And, what, do you think she would have just surrendered and been peacefully arrested once she got over the barricade and got close to those officers?

My dude, Fox and lots of rightwing media has done a number on what people think happened that day. In fact, it's been now proven that Fox knowingly has been misleading the public not just about the Big Lie of the 2020 election but also January 6th.
