How many died in BLM protests, dear? We'll do a compare and contrast.
5 on Jan 6, versus a string of rallies around the world.
You're good with numbers. How many was it?
At least 25.

"Mostly peaceful" = 25 dead, damage due to arson, vandalism, looting into the billions. And that's just in the US.
Aha. Do you want to read us the fine print there, old boy?
Cheers.
You do it, Mustifaken (for a change). 10 rupee in it for you. We'll throw in a banana.
Start dancin'.
A bit shy, are we?
Quote:Lee Keltner, a navy veteran who made custom western hats, was shot after a “patriot rally” in Denver on 10 October. Video and photographs of the incident appear to show Keltner slapping a security guard for a local news crew, who responds by pulling out a gun and shooting him.
Aaron “Jay” Danielson, a far-right Trump supporter, was shot after a rally in Portland in August. Danielson’s suspected killer, Michael Reinoehl, was a leftwing protester who called himself an “anti-fascist”, and who was later shot to death by law enforcement officials, an outcome Donald Trump referred to as “retribution”.
Garrett Foster was reportedly carrying an AK-47 rifle when he was shot to death in July by an armed man who had been driving a car through a crowd of Black Lives Matter protesters in Austin. Whether Foster threatened the driver with his gun is still disputed. The man who shot and killed Foster, the US army sergeant Daniel Perry, had previously tweeted “Now is the time to take up arms and protect yourselves against violence” and responded to a Trump tweet in June about “protesters, anarchists, agitators, looters” by saying, “Send them to Texas we will show them why we say don’t mess with Texas.”
Citing those tweets, analysts at a thinktank that monitors domestic terrorism classified the shooting as an act of “violent far-right” domestic terrorism. But Perry has not yet faced any criminal charges, and a local prosecutor in Texas said the incident was still under investigation.
James Scurlock, a Black Lives Matter protester with an infant daughter, was shot to death in Omaha in May after a confrontation with a white bar owner outside the man’s bar.
Other demonstrators died when cars drove through or rammed into crowds of Black Lives Matter protesters. Summer Taylor, a Black Lives Matter protester who worked in a veterinary clinic, was killed in such an incident in Seattle. So was Robert Forbes, a black protester from Bakersfield whose sister recalled him demonstrating decades earlier over the brutal police beating of Rodney King. In St Louis, Barry Perkins, a father of two, was killed after being dragged and run over by a FedEx truck during a protest in May.
In addition to the people killed while demonstrating, at least 14 more Americans have been killed in other incidents linked to political unrest this summer, including seven people shot during alleged looting of businesses, among them David Dorn, a retired police officer shot during the robbery of a pawn shop in St Louis; two California law enforcement officers murdered by an alleged anti-government “Boogaloo” extremist, one person found dead in a pawn shop in Minneapolis that had been set on fire; an eight-year-old shot to death in Atlanta; and a Louisville restaurant owner who was shot dead by the national guard.
The killings on your list include naughty old white nationalists having a bit of fun, old boy. You know, good old boys taking pot shots at protesters or just going for a bit of a drive. Cruising. Sunday drivers.
Boys will be boys, eh?
I don't know about you, dear boy, but I hardly think events like Charlottesville qualify as a Black Lives Matter protest, but that's just me. You probably have your own opinion, no?
Now, I believe 7 were killed at the Jan 6 insurrection. Can anybody show a similar number killed at
any BLM protest anywhere?
NB: please don't include neo-Nazi protests. The old boy's already tried that one.
