A Study Shows VERY FEW Capitol Hill Rioters Were QAnon Red-Staters With Ties to 'Right-Wing' Groups
PJ Media ^ | March 15, 2021 | Victoria Taft

A survey by the University of Chicago finds that most Capitol Hill rioters had no ties to any fringe right-wing groups and were merely engaged people outraged by what they believed was a rigged election.

While colorful weirdos with names such as QAnon Shaman and Baked Alaska stole the headlines, people who were arrested by federal officials during and after the riot were a “broader core of people” with a healthy skepticism about the veracity of the November 2020 election, according to the study.

There was plenty of reason for the skepticism, considering the collusion between Big Tech, unions, lawfare, and Democrats’ combined efforts to sway the election. Those efforts were at the very least unethical.

As Time Magazine enthused in an article entitled, “The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election,” “there was a conspiracy unfolding behind the [election] scenes” of an “informal alliance between left-wing activists and business titans” to “save” the election from Donald Trump.

Rather than being ill-informed, it appears that the Capitol Building rioters may have been better informed than most on these moves to sway the election.

In a “working paper” that is considered to be a “novel approach” to “estimating community-level participation in mass protest events,” Asst. Prof. Austin Wright of the Harris School of Public Policy and David Van Dijcke of the University of Michigan found a surprising number of the people arrested at the Capitol Hill riot who were business owners and other professionals obviously upset over election fraud....

They are getting close to admitting the girl shooting was faked to shut down the count.

Then the Capitol Police will have to explain why they were involved with a fake murder and coverup.

“But how many were Antifa/BLM?”

I have heard that there is testimony from witnesses who talk about a “bus load” of obviously NOT Trump supporters, that may have been the only ones that fought with police, and that committed most of the vandalism.

The important news that “Court documents reveal CNN, NBC paid Antifa activist John Sullivan $70K to film riots at capitol on Jan. 6” has been ignored and even suppressed by the guilty outlets, should raise an eyebrow or two.

So many lies about this whole fraudulent affair have been told by the MSM, that it is hard to get the truth regarding anything that happened on the 6th of January, 2021. But this sounds significant.

So they’re only a subset of the kooks.

“They are getting close to admitting the girl shooting was faked to shut down the count.”

Seriously, that is a deranged theory. For starters, she is dead and cremated. 2nd, if they were going to stage something to frame us, they would have had a cop shot by a Qook.

Just. Stop. For the sake of her family.

Ashli’s reaction to being shot resulted in the nerves in her hands retracting her fingers involuntarily in a horribly grotesque way, indicating paralysis and imminent death.

I’ll be reading a lot less of your whimsical Sunday braying.

Save your outrage for someone who don’t ask any questions when BLM films a shooting. Why did he move the gun to the left before he shot?

Why no blood on the wall if she was shot in the neck? Why no death certificate or autopsy? No, this shooting was as fake as fake can be.

Gee, now you are going to make me cry. When did you begin supporting censorship? You believe everything Antifa tells you? Maybe you should stop reading my brayn candy.

Is that also why she opened her eyes and looked around at least 5 times after she supposedly died? Why didn’t everyone hit the floor when the shot went off in a small room? Nobody even jumped because it was rehearsed numerous times in NC the days before.

“Gee, now you are going to make me cry.”

I get that reaction a lot from the ladies, but I never tire of hearing those words spoken in sincerity.

Discernment of a given author’s spoken/written word is not censorship.

Questioning their viewpoint(s) is a healthy form of checks and balances beneficial to all readers.

The electoral receipts were counted whether Ashli Babbitt was killed outright or was a fake.

The majority of breachers sporting battle rattle weren’t antifa. They were sensible people wearing protective gear, expecting clashes with antifa and blm at any moment.

Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, 3%-ers, etc. were all doing their own thing ad hoc.

I was there and did my own thing which didn’t involve a big domed building.

Really, You do realize it was broken into 10 mins after Trump’s speech began. What Trumper would leave the speech before it was over. That was all Antifa and BLM in the building and is now started to be exposed.

It was fake as CNN who just happened to be 10 ft from the shooting. What are the odds, CNN, Antifa and BLM be in the room at the first shooting in American history?

So Ashli Babbitt is still alive? Her entire family is going along with this?

Noticed your screen name is the name of a donkey’s vocalization.

What family? Her husband of maybe one year or her threesome partner? Where is the obituary or death certificate. FR really has more and more thought police every day.
