Golly, why isn’t the MSM covering this??

[phylodog]

How very strange.

Apparently BLM in Iowa staged an insurrection against the capitol and forcefully entered the building but for some strange reason it doesn’t seem to get receiving the media coverage one might consider worthy.

I’ll have to mull it over for awhile to figure out why that is.

Mulling........It's because they can't find a way to blame it on Trump supporters.

Bingo! Plus it doesn't fit the "Mostly peaceful! Nobody's coming for your Constitution!" narrative

 

[phylodog]

I guess I don't understand the lack of outrage. I mean, if everyone is equal and all, why would one group be treated differently than another group for engaging in the same activity?

This whole equality thing is so tough to figure out.

My purple might need recalibrating.

Big/social media is a one way street. Is that fair, good or rational, no, but it is what it is. Really the only thing we can do about it is never pay any attention to it.

Or stop using their products. Why subsidize your demise?

There are several local news reports. I read two of them and neither described the incident as insurection or forceful entry.
The BLM (Black Liberation Movement although they chant "black lives matter") walked into the building, no force necessary for entry.
One high school student was arrested for grabbing a cop's arm when asking for names/badge numbers. Sounds like she has a history of protesting and plans to become famous.
No national media attention because there isn't any chaos or violence that viewers love.

I watched the “insurrection” on Jan 6th as officers opened the door and allowed the “insurrectionists” to walk right in.

Yep, they also had a permit for the outside and the area they were in on the inside was open for the public. Although there should have been a couple of more arrests for interfering when they arrested that chick.

I watched the “insurrection” on Jan 6th as officers opened the door and allowed the “insurrectionists” to walk right in.

I saw that, I also saw officers being beaten with poles, pepper sprayed, in once case grabbed and dragged down stairs into the crowd where he was beaten (I believe some others in the crowd were able to drag him back far enough where the other officers were able to drag him in), windows broken to gain entry... IMO there is no comparing these two events. I'm not saying I'd go as far as calling the events of Jan 6th an insurrection, just that there is no comparison.

Well they have a Governor that won't allow BLM to walk over the state. ​

Kim Reynolds Governor of Iowa​

Reynolds is a staunch supporter of Donald Trump.

In June 2020, a vehicle driven by a Iowa State Patrol trooper carrying Reynolds hit a Black Lives Matter protester in Ackley. The State Patrol and Reynolds contended that the protester intentionally stepped in front of the vehicle's path and that the driver acted appropriately, while the protester contended that he was intentionally struck.

Well so long as all things are treated equal I guess we've nothing to worry about.

Who in the world would intentionally run someone over for no reason? He’s passing all these other pedestrians and just suddenly picks one to run over with the Governor in the back seat?

No forced entry, like the cop opening the door for the protestors at the Capitol building on 1/6?

I posted a news article in the floyd thread.

They want to disappear the story to avoid looking like hypocrites so early after janurary 6th.

As I stated upthread, yep some went in that way. Others broke windows to get in and beat cops with poles and such.
