Most of the BLM folks, and 'Antifa' seemed to generally get on fine with their communities.
There's also a difference between someone getting battered by the cops when otherwise lawfully protesting in the street. There's a line between protest and riot --- and it seemed from the coverage we got here that most 'riots' began at the instigation of the police themselves.
I mean, these are the cops who are parading in military convoy pepper-balling people on their own property.
It seems more like the BLM folks have a legitimate grievance - and for want of a better term, far more skin in the game. They've enough drive behind them to stand up to the police - more mettle and more substance to their protest.
Ultimately, BLM remained for the most part, a protest. The whole character of the average participant was generally different. There seemed to be a lot more sense that there'd be consequences of failure - and this had to happen to keep their lives from getting worse. There was weight to their actions.
Whatever happened in the Capitol wasn't a protest - it was some sort of what the fuck.

Oh sweet meteor of death
Fall upon us.
Deliver us in fire
To Peace everlasting.
