Texas Democrat Sheila Jackson Lee implied that every protestor who was outside of the Capitol on January 6th should face criminal prosecution in a Tuesday tweet threat, utilizing a “guilt-by-association” theory more commonly associated with the criminal justice system of third world countries.
Jackson Lee falsely claimed that the 40,000 protestors who arrived in the area of the Capitol in January all intended to overturn the election by killing the Speaker of the House, Mike Pence, and Members of Congress. In reality, there’s little to no reason that anyone outside of small handful of easily manipulated cosplayers intended to become seriously violent.
2/4 alleged that 40,000 protesters were in DC with the mindset to overturn a legitimate election and to kill the Speaker, the Vice President, and Members of Congress, in that instance, only 300 persons have now been arrested and are being prosecuted. What kind of justice is that?

Only a small minority of the protestors present at the January 6th protest engaged in any criminal trespassing and violent conduct. Peaceful protestors present at the event in fact urged those breaking boundaries to stop, likening them to Antifa criminals. Hundreds of individuals present at the event are being prosecuted- in some cases, on dubious grounds. Jackson Lee’s proposal would criminalize peaceful protest in a direct fashion.
Jackson Lee compared the peaceful protestors to Portland’s enduring anarchist criminal movement, ignoring that the January 6th event hasn’t repeated on a nightly basis in a fashion analogous to the anarcho-tyrannical city. While street criminals have been arrested at the Portland protests, Multnomah County’s left-wing prosecutor, Mike Schmidt, has consistently dropped criminal charges against nearly every arrestee involved in left-wing street violence.
1/4 Testimony today on the Hill evidences that in the Portland protests, a thousand people were arrested. People protesting against the violence that was evidenced in the George Floyd murder. People wanting good things to happen. In Washington DC on January 6th, where it is

Lee also likened left-wing rioters in Portland to “good people wanting good things to happen,” excusing systemic violence because she supports the aims of those who commit it.
Under the fist of anarcho-tyranny, there is no such thing as a neutral standard of “law.” There’s domination- impunity for those who obey those who wield the levers of political power, and severity against those who dare to challenge it though peaceful protest.
Isn’t there still riots going on in other states every night. What are they doing about that.
Deranged
Sheila knows what she is doing. Arguing for fairness is such a waste of time. She is in full Tyrant mode.
The January 6th rally was mostly peacful.
But Black Looting Matters and AntiFa are deemed mostly peaceful and protected by Democrats.
Shouldn’t have been.
Had it not been for AntiFa in MAGA costume / some false flag operation it would have been entirely peaceful.
This from the one of the dumbest members of Congress.
Try reprobate . . . .you cannot reason with these people. Common sense is not present.
We knew this was coming. Otherwise why keep troops in DC long after Jan. 6th?
Insult, slander and black the names of registered Republicans, Trump voters, people who peaceably assemble for rallies all over the country.
Blame them for the handful inside Pelosi’s office.
Then get the media to slander them all day and night. Finally, jail or kill some to set off angry pushback. Use the troops against them.
A low IQ affirmative action Sheila Jackson Lee is not exactly an admirable person of integrity. Quite the opposite.
Typo: Insult, slander and blacken the names....
Methinks a full sized gallows with enough places to hang all the progressive Democrats would have been a touch difficult to build unnoticed even if someone wanted to build one. Moreover President Trump wouldn’t have put up with it, and rightfully so.
Do it. I dare them.
They are trying to provoke a response from conservatives that would be used as justification to crack down on “extremists”. They have been poking conservatives in the chest like this for a long time. Just consider if this were turned around. How hard would it be for conservatives to provoke a violent response from the minority populations in the urban inner cities? What would be the response from democRATs if conservatives were able to provoke a response and used it to blame all democRATs and used it to do cancel culture tactics or just put them in jail? What would the response look like? I can visualize it.
They will milk their version of the Reichstag Fire longer than the Nazi’s did theirs.
These Leftists are now calling us Good Germans, when in reality it is them. They have no self awareness, just blood lust fed hatred of anyone h dares to disagree with their belief system.
The COMMUNISTS have the bit in their teeth. There is only one thing they understand and only one way to make them understand it not going to happen in America.
The Party says that all 40,000 were armed and stormed the Capitol.
The protests in May in Minnecraponus were 100% peaceful.
War is peace
Freedom is slavery
Ignorance is strength
2+2=5
Deranged Democrat
