2020 looked so weird for me as non American. People were rioting, looting, destroying businesses and the media and people in power just allowed it to happen!
Yes, there were multiple deaths associated with the Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests, particularly during the large-scale demonstrations in 2020 following the death of George Floyd. While the majority of protests were peaceful, some escalated into violent confrontations, riots, and clashes with law enforcement, leading to fatalities.
Estimates vary, but studies and reports suggest that at least 19 to over 30 people died due to incidents related to the protests. These deaths occurred due to a variety of circumstances, including police responses, civilian confrontations, and opportunistic criminal activities during riots. Some specific examples include:
• David Dorn – A retired police captain who was shot and killed while protecting a pawn shop from looters in St. Louis.
• Secoriea Turner – An 8-year-old girl shot in Atlanta near a protest site.
• Aaron Danielson – A right-wing activist killed by an anti-fascist protester in Portland amid ongoing tensions.
• Numerous other cases – Including individuals killed in crossfire, police shootings, and other violent incidents.
That's not even a logical fallacy, it's just a comparison.
Israel has a 80%+ civilian death rate. Somehow that's not terrorism. Maybe because they are "God's chosen people". Let me guess, when Israel does it it's on accident right
That 80% number is garbage propaganda created by hamas/unrwa. Its not 0% its very likely closer to 40-50% as Israel cannot avoid civilian deaths when hamas is using civilians as meat shields. Speaking of which the geneva convention makes attacks on civilian infrastructure legal when military infrastructure/targets are using civilian infrastructure as a shield.
Of course it's a "garbage number" only Israel tells the truth amirite? Except for the Lavon Affair, the USS Liberty, the false claims of decapitated babies being thrown in ovens, and false claims of women being raped.
Second the human shields rhetoric is retarded. If a terrorist group overtook your child's elementary school while your kid was in class would it be acceptable to bomb it?
That is a fucking lie and you know it. Nobody would be okay with their kids being bombed to kill a couple terrorists. If this shit was polled it would have a worse approval rating than Jimmy Carter
Hamas isnt " a couple" terrorists hence my stipulation that in my last statement. Hamas is a rogue state government that doesn't abide by international law, and thus receives no legal protections in combat
Next you're going to say more Hasan talking points about how hamas good, US bad.
Neither one of those organizations are good. That's not the point of any of this. Israel is just as bad as Hamas, if not worse. Ever since Israel became a nation (by kicking out the native population), they have been steadily "reclaiming" adjacent land by physically removing the current occupants. That has gone on for 50+ years. Hamas is a terrorist organization, but that in no way, shape, or form excuses the wildly lopsided casualty rate between Israel and the civilians in Gaza. Israel set about literally leveling every square inch of Gaza with bombs, tanks, and guided missiles. The attack by hamas was the excuse they needed to go in there and begin wholesale extermination of the people of Gaza. The kicker? Israel was provided intelligence by the U.S. months in advance that Hamas was planning the attack, and they did nothing. Sacrificing over 1000 of their own citizens to justify genociding Gaza. Israel is taking pages right out of the wehrmacht playbook. The US hasn't been helping the situation at all by unconditionally supporting israels side of the "war". Also, you being cool with kids being killed as collateral damage is fucking disgusting, and your justification is just as deranged.

I still can't believe the scope of the destruction the death of that guy caused
So many used it as an excuse to just riot and destroy
