The gaslighting from 2020

It’s 87.5 percent peaceful

reply

if 12% of the people who protested in 2020 were rioting, many major USA cities would be destroyed. The reality is that .01% of people at the protests rioted, and did as much damage as that many people can do, which is not much.

The claim that Black Lives Matter protesters caused $2 billion in damages and faced no consequences is partly true. While it is true that the 2020 protests over George Floyd's death caused an estimated $2 billion in damages, the claim that protesters faced no consequences is false. News reports indicate that over 10,000 protesters were arrested, mostly for low-level offenses like violating curfews and obstructing roadways, though some more serious charges like burglary and looting were also filed.[1]
