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

Posted on 03/16/2021 7:30:26 PM PDT by CheshireTheCat

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....

Maybe you truth seekers can explain this breakdown of the BLM video?

I’m not saying that there were no antifa or blm provocateurs present. I’m also not saying that there were NOT “possibly” FED GOV infiltrators in the groups that I mentioned previously, but I am saying that there were misguided Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, and 3%-ers, that allowed themselves to be swept up in the heat of the moment and in doing so SHIT on the MAGA movement in one fell swoop.

I have been following George Webb since 2015, and have been an on again off again contributing patron, so trust me when I say that I have had my share and experience in winnowing down conspiracy theories.

Now you resort to ad hominem in all directions. She has four younger brothers aside from her husband; she was not alone in the world. You implying that they are covering up a living sister?

Pretend that I am a kindergartener. Now- please explain to me why faking Ashli Babbitt’s death is useful to the Deep State’s cause AND why it is beneficial for her family and friends to participate in the hoax.

What about her threesome live-in who didn’t know she was into Q. Why is there no death certificate, blood at the scene, CPR, stretcher to take her out, ambulance or any report of what happened?

I don’t trust anyone including you. It was fake as the election. She was most likely Antifa.

We have to police our side as much as theirs. You are being played. Watch the video and tell yourself this makes any sense.

Now call me one of your brilliant names like donkey breath. Never heard that before.

I will write real slow for you. If they have a murder in the Capitol it guarantees shutting down the challenge and makes Trump into a murderer. It is also great street theater making the entire world to think Trump supporters are violent like Antifa.

This was planned by Barak and Pelosi thinking this would spark a violent outbreak embarrassing Trump. You could tell that by the guys running out of the room screaming they are shooting us and everyone ignored them or called them actors.

Everyone in that room was a paid actor including the girl. I wrote a tribute to her but could not get out of my mind why a Trump supporter would be in that room trying to break into the chambers. It made no sense and now it does, she wasn’t.

Now call me a bunch a names so nobody else dare think outside the echo chamber.

As Gomer Pyle used to say, “SURPRISE, SURPRISE”.

At least someone appears to have done a serious study of the protestors/rioters who were arrested justly or not.

Got a more coherent theory than that? All you offer is more ad hominem and, frankly, conspiracy theories in and of themselves.

It is fair to start somewhere, particularly the fact that Antifa/BLM’s John Sullivan shot the video, IIHTR. But attacking everyone who queries you for something more concrete in terms of proof, and deriding her next of kin with implied accusations, will only serve to alienate.

#13. Bray. The shooting was real. What is not known, and should have been released by now, is what really happened.

Babbit is dead. Fact. She was shot by someone behind the office door who could only be some type of security/law enforcement officer, or armed congressional building official or staffer (I doubt if any congressional staffers are allowed to carry weapons in the Capitol. When I worked there in the Longworth Office Building, we never would have even thought of doing that).

We need to know where she was fatally shot (i.e. neck or upper chest area, etc).

Need to know how many shots were fired. I only heard/saw one.

Need to know if she had breached the door’s upper window. Film shows that she probably couldn’t fit in the window frame unless on her stomach/back or pulled through by her arms. Those windows are high and narrow.

Need to see the complete autopsy report and then know why Babbit was cremated so fast because this became a full-fledged criminal investigation as required by law.

Need to know the “organizational identity” of the shooter. Name is not relevant to us at this point.

Race of the shooter is also irrelevant. He/she? shot Babbit - end of story. Only need to know why they shot, in their own words before a legal investigating body.

These are simple, commonsense, and usually legally required questions that have to be answered in any shooting inquiry, autopsy, etc.

Who in Congress is doing an investigation of the Capitol Hill riot deaths?

Those are all known facts. Who do you think filmed the video and said, “We did it!”. Yeah, the govt would never lie to us.

So you must think Biden really won the election since you don’t have concrete proof he didn’t.

So why hasn’t the family released the autopsy or death certificate to end this? Her attorneys were supposed to be on Tucker last week and bailed the last minute. Wonder why?
