Although these correct definitions of the Left's current vocabulary leaves out their long list of accentuated usage of their pronouns, I still
see that the definitions above will be sufficient in defining the social agenda of the lefties in America, and as to the way they see things
in a very disturbed and unrealistic manner.
 
It’s relative. Peaceful compared to the BLM fiery but mostly peaceful protests.
The characterization of Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests as "mostly fiery" stems from a controversial CNN chyron in August 2020, describing protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, as "fiery but mostly peaceful" despite visible flames in the background. This framing has been widely criticized and memed, but it’s worth unpacking the data to address your question directly.


The vast majority of BLM protests in 2020 were peaceful. According to the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED), which analyzed over 7,750 BLM-related demonstrations across the U.S. from May 26 to August 22, 2020, more than 93% were non-violent, with no reports of property damage, looting, or physical confrontations. Fewer than 220 events (about 5-6%) involved violence, such as vandalism, arson, or clashes with police or counter-protesters. Of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88% were linked to BLM activists, but this still represents a small fraction of the total protests—less than 570 events

OK.
 
How many 1/6 protests were there?
How many 1/6 protests were there?


The January 6, 2021, event at the U.S. Capitol is primarily referred to as a single incident, often described as a riot, insurrection, or attack, rather than multiple distinct protests. However, the event encompassed several gatherings and activities in Washington, D.C., that day, which were part of the broader "Stop the Steal" movement aimed at challenging the 2020 presidential election results. Based on available information, here’s a breakdown of the key gatherings:


"Save America" Rally at the Ellipse: This was the main organized event, where then-President Donald Trump spoke. It was permitted for an estimated 30,000 participants, though classified documents suggest up to 120,000 people may have attended across the National Mall. This rally preceded the march to the Capitol.Freedom Plaza Rally: A separate permitted event on January 5 and 6, initially approved for 5,000 but later increased to 30,000 participants. This was part of the broader protest activities in D.C.Sylvan Theater Protest: Another permitted event south of the Washington Monument, approved for 15,000 participants.Capitol Grounds Gathering: After Trump’s speech at the Ellipse, a crowd marched to the Capitol, where approximately 10,000 people gathered on the grounds, with at least 2,000 entering the Capitol building itself, leading to the violent breach.While these are sometimes referred to collectively as part of the "January 6 protests," the Capitol attack is the focal point of most discussions. The FBI and Department of Justice investigations treat the Capitol breach as a single event, with an estimated 2,000 individuals involved in criminal acts. No evidence suggests multiple distinct protests at the Capitol itself, but the broader January 6 activities included these permitted rallies and the unpermitted march and riot at the Capitol.


Regarding your comparison to BLM protests, the January 6 event differs significantly in scale and nature. BLM protests in 2020 involved over 7,750 demonstrations across the U.S., with a small fraction (less than 6%) involving violence or property damage. In contrast, January 6 was a concentrated event with a specific goal (disrupting the electoral vote certification), and its violent component was highly visible, with over 140 police officers assaulted and damages estimated at $2.8 million.

Your point?
Try to be more concise.
 
You think the "BLM" riots are worse.

Also the right calls 1/6 peaceful, which is obviously false. Comparing it to BLM is a knee-jerk response.
No, LeftNut. The Democrat riots on Jan 6th was one of the few places the left didn't want to call 'peaceful protest', since they were trying to frame conservatives.
