If Donald Trump cared about the rule of law and about his own supporters the way @julie_kelly2 does, then he would be hammering every 48 hours on TV and in press releases about the abusive, Putin-style actions by the Feds against the 1/6/21 Selfie-Takers. Nobody cares.

The burn-cities-down-due-to-policy-brutality crowd hasn’t said a word against the Cap Hill Policeman who shot to death at close range a military vet who tried climbed a window frame and was no immediate threat to anyone (and could have been tackled to the ground if need be).

The more you observe the response to violence, police brutality and hate crime, you notice that many people are driven by politics: If it fits their team’s agenda, they are all in. If not, they don’t care. So many people who “as a Jew” ripped Trump for anti-Semitism, have not

spoken up when @Ilhan and other Dems popped off with hate, and some of those “as a Jew” voices are silent or fuel hateful media items against Orthodox Jews; the wing of Judaism most susceptible to suffer antisemitic incidents because their garb shows them to be Jewish.

Dozens of blue checked voices wrote that the #BoulderColorado shooter is white, but those people are silent now that we know he is a Muslim. If it is ok to make it about race with whites then why not about religion with Muslims? Both should either be ok or not ok. (Not ok, BTW.)

There is a move against mentioning the geographic origin of Coronavirus. Calling it “the China Virus” is seen as offensive (despite the fact that Spanish Flu etc were called by name). But slamming Orthodox Jews as a collective regarding the virus (by use of fake data) seems ok.

Many people want to change gun laws after mass shootings. Those shootings are horrific but are less than 1.5% of annual homicides in the US. Meanwhile, every year over the last 5 years ICE arrested 1,800+ people in the US illegally who are charged with and/or convicted of murder.

It’s mostly young males from the same 3 countries.

1,800 murders a year is more than 10% of the annual murders in the US.

If you are, rightfully, looking for solutions against 200+ murders a year (caused by mass shootings) why are you not more worked up about the 1,800 ones?

Back to 1/6/21: It makes sense that the Feds handle the few dozen who were violent against officers, but the Feds have almost 400 cases on 1/6/21 and the charges are, essentially, trespassing and protesting without a permit. Indeed, Feds often bring up new charges later once they

have more evidence to bring complex charges, but this isn’t the case with 100s of people (veterans, handicapped, young adults) now targeted by the Feds despite not doing more than entering a building (which many thought is open). The Feds used cellphone signals to track down

and interview people who did not commit violence; were not in the building and who were not even at the rally! Yet, the Libs who were worked up about the Patriot Act and who decry PUTIN’s approach to protestors, either egg on this abuse or just don’t say much about this.
