I'm finding accusations that the rioters were threatening Federal property. Example:
Biden:
townhall.com
" Although the federal courthouse has done nothing to provoke protesters and has been standing at the same spot since 1997, it has been a constant target.
Protesters have smashed its glass doors, covered its exterior with graffiti, and repeatedly attempted to light it on fire. This has been happening since at least early July. "
And this is the sort of deference I'm talking about. How many statues were smashed, people terrorized, beaten and sent to the hospital, how many businesses burned because Trump, until there was a Federal issue, left the matter to the local Democrats.... who supported the violence. A lot.
