I am surprised this one went under the radar here after the news first broke.
I would call it a riot or Dust up well. The democrats are trying to turn into something it wasnât.
And itâs working. My CNN-watching relatives haughtily refer to it as an insurrection every chance they get.
YOu know how you had said the Tampa Bay Devil rays should shut up about political issues? Maybe the same holds true for football teams as well. Kinda funny, someone can say âfuck Joe Bidenâ and it becomes a hilarious catch phrase to the rightâŚbut if a team says something that goes against Republican policies, then the Democrats are trying to turn it into something it wasnât. Note to the right - âLetâs Go Brandon is SO 2021â
Yeah, a catch phrase slogan of mockery is totally the same thing as a disinformational brainwashing campaign intended to gaslight the public.
Spot on as usual KC. Youâre really nailing it today.
Itâs not against Republican polices. Lol. Itâs about facts. It was a riot and a small one at that
Thatâs my issue. It was riot not doubt about it. It was not an attempt to overtake the government. If it was, those people are real morons since they had no plan, no weapons, and left for dinner.
When an actually small group of Puerto Rican independence activists broke into the Capitol and interfered with the workings of Congress in 1954, they got sentences of decades, some up to 85 years. Maybe we should use that as a guide.
It all depends on what they did. Susan Rosenberg got a pardon.
Thomas Jefferson would say not to punish them harshly.
I think it all depends on what they did. Most of them didnât do anything serious and their max defense will be small by law.
Most of the charges are petty at best
Also the PR group shot people. The rioters didnât even have guns. Apples and oranges
Some, though it has never been determined who, had pipe bombs. Some had zip ties. They had a gallows set up to hang Pence.
I agree, some committed fairly minor crimes. The DOJ is treating each differently.
Iâm more concerned about the attempt to overturn the election, which involved far more than the single day, than any of the individuals.
None had pipe bombs on the capital grounds. That person should be punished if caught.
The zip ties were never used. As such itâs speculation as to what they were for.
The gallows is a free speech issue. They didnât hang or attempt to hang anyone. There was no intent to hang anyone. It was a political commentary
They were chanting âhang Mike Penceâ for fun and put up a gallows as a metaphor? Were they also shitting rainbows?
Was Mike Pence hung? I must have missed where he was hung.
That is protected free speech.
lol and here is a picture of the gallows. Anyone who thinks you could hang someone from that has never seen a person hang. It isnât even built right to hang a person. There is no drop door, itâs on the ground and the whole thing is maybe 6 feet tall.
Do you really see this as a threat again the vice president? Is he really a midget and nobody knew? Do you know how hanging works?
Those darn Secret Service agents, doing their jobs.
There was never an intent or the ability to hang mike pence. There was no credible threat to mike pence.
I get you hate free speech but most of us support it here.
Yeah, this guy was just there for some âlegitimate political discourse.â
LOL⌠compare that to the BLM riots. Where they actually murdered people and did drag people down the street. Your bias is showing and showing strongly.
I am sure you thought this was OK
I have no issue with any of those people who engaged in violence being prosecuted and many of them were.
