Executing children and innocent people were also part of those French Revolutions.

Dead kids and innocent people are the provenance of the police here in the US. Can’t have protestors try to edge in on their real estate.

Guillotining small children is pretty different.

You’re right, very different. Was a lot less common for one.

You're high if you think police kill more people than the French Revolution did in any single year.

Moving goalposts. This isn’t about how many people they killed, it’s about dead children.

But beyond that, The Terror accounts for 17,000 public executions in under a year but only 20 of them were children.

19 children were left to die by police in Uvalde alone.

Robespierre, along with 80+ other conspirators, was executed himself, none of the police in Uvalde are going to be executed.

Maybe comparing protests to The Reign of Terror isn’t the best huh?
