“Column: Why’s it so hard to do the right thing and honor the true heroes of Jan. 6?”

They’re about to honored, once Trump finishes signing their pardons.

[No name given]

That’s right.

[No name given]

That’s the fake news media to a t.

[Da Coyote]

No one expected the Spanish Inquisition.
And no one respects the Lost Angeles Times.
Shove it, mere journalists.
Get a real job.

[redfreedom]

They never will give up the con. They are loyal communists, they know no better.

[LegendHasIt]

This guy wants to honor the true murderers.

[BrexitBen]

How about a plaque honoring the FBI for inciting a peaceful protest into a near riot?

[piasa]

Where are the plaques honoring first responders from previous attacks on the Capitol, from Code Pinko to the Weather Underground to the Puerto Rican terrorist group, etc?

[JZelle]

I thought the new owner of the Times was trying to do better.

[Bob434]

a cop that shoots an unarmed woman is a hero? Cops that shoved people off balconies, several stories high are heros? Cops that trampled and beat a woman to death are heros?

My sis in LA (thankfully safe still) like to say she wouldn’t line the birdcage with this trash paper.

[sasquatch]

Likewise, material for my outhouse. Rather use poison oak.

[cockroach_magoo]

Who exactly are the heroes of entrapment?

[Carry_Okie]

It is vital that partisans aren’t allowed to whitewash history simply because it makes some people uncomfortable.

Especially the editors of the LAT.

[oldplayer]

Insurrection? Insurrection? The Jan 6ers were so ill prepared they even forgot to bring weapons,

[Trump_Triumphant]

Hey Zoe, no one saved your life. None of the J6ers were murderers. Unlike you, the queen of baby killers.

[Fai Mao]

Burn LA down
Burn LA to the ground
Burn the ground

[grobdriver]

The bloodstains of the Jan. 6 insurrection have long ago washed away.

Oh - you mean Ashlie's bloodstains?
