Attorney General Pam Bondi rejected that President Donald Trump's pardons for hundreds of rioters who assaulted police during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol creates a double standard with the administration's aggressive response to violence at immigration protests in Los Angeles.
"Well, this is very different," Bondi said Wednesday in an on-camera gaggle with reporters at the White House. "These are people out there hurting people in California right now. This is ongoing."
More than 140 officers suffered injuries during the Jan. 6 riot as they were beaten by objects ranging from baseball bats and hockey sticks to rocks and even an American flag.
Trump's pardons for nearly all of the 1,600 people charged in connection with the assault on the Capitol extended to more than 450 charged with assaulting or impeding officers -- 300 of whom still had not had their cases fully adjudicated.

in otherwords it's okay to assault people for Trump but not the other way around!
Total Bullshit!!! like her Lord and Master Donald the Liar, con man and wannabe fascist, Trump!

While Trump's "patriots" were only trying to overthrow government and hang the sitting Vice President.

(14,393 posts)Maybe blocking a couple streets is inconvenient. Kettling ICE in a Home Depot parking lot is a rather funny twist on what happens in most protests.
I grant throwing rocks off freeway overpasses is really dangerous, but I'm pretty sure that's being dealt with within the protest groups
Maybe turning a protest into a Fiesta is? Is there a reason one shouldn't have that many taco trucks, tamale abuelas, and Norteno/Mariachi bands in a one or two block radius?
