One thousand people where charged out of twenty-five thousand, that's only 4% of the people.
That means 96% were being peaceful and that's damn near 100%
sorry but that’s not a fair analysis of the data put forward by ACLED here. they are counting demonstrations not demonstrators. and they are most certainly not couning charges so no clue where you got that.
here are some similar, though admittedly not directly parallel, statistics (published jan 2022):
What percent of the armed Trump supporters were violent?
Doesn't matter. There was violence at Jan 6, ergo Jan 6 was 100% violent. Compare that to nearly 0% violence for the students. Why do you think 100% and 0% are close?
I’d say BLM was near 0% violence but you’re say it was 100%.
What? How "I'm say" it was 100%? What are you talking about?
You’re saying.
Are you coming at me for a small typo?
I'm coming at you for acting like you're making a valid point, and lying when people confront you about it. Now, could you please explain?
What am I lying about?
You said:
Again, how do "I'm say" that BLM was near 100% violence? Most BLM protests were completely peaceful, meaning BLM was near 0% violent. Why do you lie and say I'm saying the opposite?
Pretty sure this guy is some kind of troll, especially because of the weird grammar. Reporting him and moving on.
Unless you’re saying there was no violence at BLM then you’re saying it was 100% violent.
I’m saying it was near 0%.
Is that clear enough for you or do you need me to clarify something?
Multiple Palestine protests
Multiple BLM protests
One Jan 6 protest
Think that was the confusion here^
Are you positive it wasn’t 10,000 protests of 10 people happening at the same time and place?
lol
One protest of all the violent people and thousands of separate protests of nonviolent individuals
This statistically, overwhelmingly lawful and good
Exactly!
Finally someone gets it.
i don’t have that data i’m sorry
