Vandalizing property is not violence, destroying property is not violence. These are liberal ideas. Violence is hurting someone. The extent of "our" violence is, like you said, wrestling with police. And it was most likely Antifa doing that anyways. In a bubble, the response to "our" property damage and wrestling with police is maybe justified, because conservatives hold themselves to higher standards. But we don't live in a bubble, we need to be consistent and compare it to the treatment liberals got when they destroyed the city over the summer. Why should I care at all about small amounts of property damage or shoving police when BLM killed, looted and destroyed cities for months?
Even if Antifa weren't responsible (which they are), I STILL wouldn't care because nothing really happened. The worst video footage I saw from the capitol protest wasn't bad at all. It was downright tame compared to the summer where American cities were turned to shitholes. The liberals set the frame, and everyone blindly followed it.
You seem to think violence is only limited or defined when directed directly at a person. Violence is an aggressive action - the target doesn't matter.
The rationale you are using is the same argument that CNN, leftist politicians and others used to explain that ANTIFA and BLM protests were not violent.
Definitely wasn't antifa/blm who has a history of that behavior, had protests organized that day, and managed to dress like caricatures of Trump supporters that day.
Stop repeating DNC/BLM talking points - vandalizing and destroying property is violence - so is wrestling with police - it's not peaceful or lawful.
That happened - it's irrefutable.
Now start asking yourself WHO was doing the violence?

You are wrong and naive.
If that's the case, elaborate and educate me further, or are you content to do the old NPC hit 'n run?

He never showed proof it wasn't Trump supporters.
Legally it's irrelevant - it could have been Putin in a rabbit suit - the charge was that Trump incited a mob.
