In reply to the discussion: Just curious - poll regarding Garland's speech [View all]dwayneb
(903 posts)29. It's a true statement - so what?
There are acts of violence being committed by people all across the spectrum - yes we know that here in 2021, 95% of these are from the Radical Right. Go back to 1969 and this might not be the case; there were plenty of violent left-wing radicals in those days.
From the point of view of law enforcement, they must all be pursued with equal vigor. So Garland's statement should be encouraging - not discouraging. It tells us that this DOJ under AG Garland is acting with integrity.
The problem of course is that the AG is appointed by the President. If a fascist President gains power either through direct election or coup, he can fill this position with a hand-picked goose-stepper. Then we will be in real trouble.

Missed the both sides thing. I guess you have to say it even if one side is 85% responsible

I argued earlier that ultimately, January 6 is on America's voters. Same goes for DOJ staff.
