minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1年前Sorry… you think that the only people who were violent were the ones who got charged? That’s weird, because that’s not how it usually works.
minus-squareSatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1年前I’m just using verifiable numbers here.
minus-squareHuntressHimbo@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1年前And trying to conflate a percentage of protests with a percentage of people at one particular protest. The two are not comparable.
minus-squareSatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1年前This article say there was north of 100,000 people there which makes the number ultimately charged under one percent.
minus-squareHuntressHimbo@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-21年前A percentage is a ratio of two numbers, in this case you are trying to compare ^People who engaged in violence and were convicted at one protest^/~People who were at that protest~ with ^Number of protest events that became violent^/~Number of protest events for this cause~ To compare that you will have to wait a few years for all of the court cases to wind down. Hope that helps. EDIT: Format
