It’s mind-boggling how there are entire congressional commissions being created to review the events of January 6th.
Yet, not a single bipartisan investigation is being assembled for the over $2 BILLION in damages caused by the riots in 2020. Entire cities have been decimated by violence and damage as a result of rioters.

In case we forgot the type of terror that was inflicted during these riots…

More than 15 people died during these “protests” and yet for too long, they have gone unpunished.
Meanwhile, those that were present on January 6th have been held in solitary confinement and charged.
They’ll let these looters and killers go but cosplayers at the Capitol remain in solitary confinement. Where’s the justice? https://t.co/M1pQV3slMT

And New York City wonders why it’s so hard to get their tourism numbers back up. Maybe it’s because of the 200 rioters and looters you refused to charge and instead allowed to remain on the streets of your city.
There is some justice happening though.
In fact, there are even some BLM and Antifa rioters that have been charged for their crimes.
Portland antifa member Cyan Waters Bass has been convicted & sentenced to 4 years in prison for throwing a firebomb at police & setting the Justice Center on fire at a riot. He’s one of the very few rioters sentenced to jail time. https://t.co/9z8TvfZncF

One such instance is depicted by comedian Kevin Downey, check it out.
Cyan Waters Bass, who is oddly named after a Crayola crayon, will be spending the next four years in prison. Cyan, who is in his early 20s, pleaded guilty in state court last week to five charges, including first-degree arson.
When Cyan was arrested, Portland police officers found he was carrying white marbles, a clear bottle of an unknown liquid, a black crowbar, a black slingshot, two lighters, and a black baseball cap. Not what people would bring to a “mostly peaceful” protest.
Cyan used the wrist rocket slingshot to damage windows in the Justice Center, a government building in downtown Portland that houses a police precinct, before using a flammable liquid to set the building on fire. The damage amounted to more than $46,000.
Cyan tried to flee as police dispersed the riot, but he stopped long enough to ignite a Molotov cocktail and chuck it at the police. He pleaded guilty to a number of crimes, including attempting to cause serious physical injury to another person by means of a dangerous weapon. By agreeing to the plea deal he will not have to face other charges, though he is still facing a federal arson charge.

It’s good that this man is going to prison however, he should have gone away for much longer considering the malicious intent of his actions.
Last month, Gavaughn Streeter-Hillerich drew a five-year sentence after pleading guilty to first-degree arson. The plea deal will allow him to dodge other charges. He was looking at a maximum sentence of 40 years.According to a criminal complaint from Multnomah County, Oregon, Streeter-Hillerich was filmed attempting to set a fire inside a tire that was placed on an overturned dumpster, which had been pushed against a beauty supply store. A piece of flaming material blew out of the fire, prompting Streeter-Hillerich to pick it up and put it back in place.
An anonymous person filmed the scene, showing that Streeter-Hillerich kept lighting additional items as others placed them inside the tire.
The troubling thing is that even though this conviction is some form of justice, it doesn’t excuse the fact that Portland dropped charges on over half of the people arrested in connection to the riots.
Meanwhile, those that were present on January 6th, are left to languish in prison awaiting a court date that thousands of BLM and Antifa Rioters got to avoid.
Maybe instead of threatening un-vaccinated Americans, Mitch McConnell should do something of value and investigate the corruption that allowed these lawless, violent rioters to roam free after causing more damage than at any other time in history.
Did he just threaten Americans for Refusing the Vaccine?https://t.co/YuVQtvFLT6

Odds are Mitch and the rest of the useless Republicans are probably going to just focus on getting China to invest more into their next campaign.
