this is fine, but I'll explain it as someone actually on the right. For fifty years we on the right have been told we cannot punish leftwing rioters, because the First Amendment is so important that we cannot come within miles of *appearing* to punish speech. 1/n

Now we were always frustrated by this "rule," and we wouldn't have chosen this "rule" if anyone had asked us (and of course no one ever does), but we did accept, grudgingly, that this was the rule: Speech is so important we must tolerate some violent "speech." 2/n

We always doubted this "rule" would protect US if WE engaged in the violent "speech" favored by Democrat client groups, but until J6, we had no PROOF that the "rule" did not also protect us. 3/n

Then, of course, J6 happened and the left became the most bloodthirsty Jalvert-like hounds of merciless justice. They proved to us once and for all the "rule" we never agreed to wasn't even a "rule," but just another special privilege of Democrat ally-groups. 4/n

So we now want the benefit of this "rule," and also, once the j6ers are pardoned, we want to begin applying the "merciless justice" model to all of the leftwing groups who have burned cities and beaten up cops for 50 years, too. 5/n end
