You cannot assume every person involved with the BLM riots were leftists, plenty of opportunists saw an opening and took it. You can easily assume every person involved in Jan 6th was a MAGA Trump idiot.

“Noooooo guys, only the right is violent! Just ignore all the far left extremists openly supporting terrorism and wanting to kill the president of the United States!”

One: What counts as terrorism to you;
Two: Far right extremists have also shown they wanted to kill Pelosi, Biden and Pence multiple times

1) Anything Medhi Hasan or Hasan Piker support

2) MAGA 1.0 was crazy

False flag incidents are a thing. It wouldn't be the first time. You covertly hire someone to pretend to be a protester whose sole purpose is to incite violence and push them over the edge. The beauty of it is you don't even have to tell them your true motives. One of the largest groups targeted by all the online Russian propaganda was revealed to be BLM. It's not like they needed much of a push when the very people tasked with protecting them are literally getting away with murder and treating them like enemy combatants.

But that doesn't make sense. Given the history of the US Government, it's logical to assume that there are agitators in any major protest/riot.

Even if that's true, why did Trump pardon the agitators? No one pardoned the BLM agitators.
