I kind of envy the US for being able to have both BLM protests and Capitol riot the way they went.

One can approve or disapprove them but they are manifestations of political process being alive. Maybe ugly ones yet still.

In many places of the world such events would be either unthinkable or end in bloodbath.

BLM protests and Capitol riot
You meant "BLM riots and Capitol protests", right?

The Capitol protesters were amazing: they didn't injure a single person, nobody was kicked, nobody was punched, nobody left with an injury, nobody had lasers beamed into their eyes.

The Capitol police however? Well, they shot a peaceful, unarmed woman -- an Air Force veteran -- for no reason at all. The most interesting thing to see now, is how the media (and its sycophants) spin this cold-blooded police shooting into a "riot" by protesters. xD

@President-Elect Theaitetos As I see it most BLM protests were legal to begin with and most of them stayed that way while Capitol protest ended up in riot.

But I have to admit what Capitol wasn't left in worse shape than some of these shops after certain BLM events...

You're not wrong...but so much more could have been done earlier to prevent what ended up happening.

@Foryouwhynot IB Most protests and riots could be prevented. Every time something like this happens and escalates it is because of something going deeply wrong in the society.

There is so called "blameless approach" used in resolving IT incidents which focuses not on finding who was wrong but what went wrong and why it could. I wish this could be applied to social incidents as well.

The difference between third world undeveloped countries riots and USA riots is mainly this, that there is no third world Facebook to influence USA riots to become civil war, while USA has this service at his disposal.

@Kazimierz Kurz a civil war may happen only when people are really poor, hungry and angry. but a bunch of healthy, fed citizens cannot run a civil war. they have an evening talk show on TV and will go home pretty soon.

Accidents in the IT world don't typically involve a requirement for consequences beyond a little more training to prevent it in the future. Let's not start thinking this is the approach for everything.

I'm a big supporter of the 'blameless' approach at work, it's much better when trying to solve issues because no one fears they're getting the ax for breaking something.

@Foryouwhynot IB and then nobody is responsible for wreckage and accidents.
no, every problem should have a name and a surname.
