peaceably to assemble

tell that to the last 5 months of riots and looting... I mean peaceful protests. According to the mainstream media this protest was as tame as they come. Anything get lit on fire?

Whataboutism is the same as hypocrisy. Either we have rule of law or we don't.

I think the backlash was inevitable- you have months of showing that violence works and has no repercussions, and all legal challenges ignored showing that non-violence doesn't work. People are going to get the wrong lessons learned, and MSM and Dems seem to be encouraging this for whatever reason. That being said, to void your principles because others have is not a moral stance.

but when the precedent is "go ahead" and there are no repercussions there is no moral stance. morals are all subjective and in the eyes of what the person THINKS is right.
