I don’t think it was wise to charge at the police and break windows to access an occupied federal building. The cadre who took those particular actions are certainly getting more than their fair share of punishment, especially when compared to the mobs who attacked other federal buildings all summer long.
The big difference is - It wasn’t your average American, Police or Federal employee who felt threatened or got scared, it was Congress critters. Those same Congress critters were perfectly content to watch innocent citizens losing their businesses by being burnt out, being personally assaulted, and even mocked Trump’s White House being under siege during Washington riots. They still joke about how he had to be rushed to the “bunker”. Hell, our now VP played a role in bailing out the few who did get arrested, so they could terrorize us some more.
Well, it’s all fun and games until the rioters are at your door. They can call it what they want. It shouldn’t have happened, and shouldn’t have been allowed to happen. That said, I really don’t mind that some critters were scared. It was definitely their turn.
The real coup happened on January 20, 2009 when all of our elected and appointed swore in an ineligible non-natural born British subject/Kenyan/Indonesian.
Everything that followed flowed from that fatal error.
They were FBI and ANTIFA. So yeh extremists.
What really pissed me off was hearing Jim Jordan adopting several of the leftist talking points while trying to make his point about Nazi Pilosi being responsible for the lack of security.
With friends like these...
Let's face it Nancy Pelosie is a whiny, spoiled, shortsighted, incompetent, dangerous witch. She has close to a billion dollar budget to protect The Capital and she didn't protect it. Simply said, Madame Speaker failed in her responsibility to protect The Capital. She needs to be impeached! We cannot accept such incompetence from our representatives.
The Antifa/anarchist punks are probably the ones that did not get arrested. /s
And the media was to ensure that it worked. It did.
Completely agree with you on all points. Each individual is responsible for their own actions and decisions and should bear the consequences. This has always, always been a core conservative principle. Even as a child, this is how I was taught.
That defense obviously won't be available to anyone who pushed against police, broke a window, etc.. Nor should it be.
Everyone knows that the Marxist Pelosi secret police set up agents provocateur to lead and trick a few Trump supporters into entering the Capitol. Clearly the shooting of Ashli was a set-up. The communists organized the whole thing and are now protecting thheir own with this Kabuki hearing, while the gullible arrested citizen languish as political prisoners in the DC torture chambers. There are no lawful grounds for the detention of the people tricked into trespassing. The real trial should be the murder trial for the person who shot Ashli.
From the United States Constitution:
Clause 2. The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.
There is no Rebellion. There probably should be. There is, however, an Invasion, which is on the Southern Border, not inside the Iron Curtain in Communist Marxist Totalitarian Washington D.C.
We did it correctly in the Tea Party Movement (I attended a few and none were violent and we even picked up the litter afterwards!) so what happened here? Well at the time of the Tea Party movement, Obama was a relatively new president and the deep state apparatus was not yet in place. By 2021 is sure was in place and entrenched. Were there deep state or Antifa/BLM plants in the crowd? Probably but we don't know for sure if they actually stoked the violence. If they were, our protesters need to be better trained on how to spot that and remove themselves from those situations. The left learned how to do this from their protest days in the 60s (Don't be naive and think Hoover and/or Nixon never planted agent provocateurs) We need to learn this now because we sure need more non violent protests along the lines of sit ins and other forms of civil disobedience.
Name what was deplorable.
agreed
The Capital Police
” Jan. 6 Was Deplorable. It Was Not a Coup”
This was another of queen Nazi Pelosi’s attempts to cripple Pres. Trump.
What made it wrong was the entrapment, provocateurs, planted people luring and leading people to the US Capitol building.
Donald Trump did not hold his rally at the Capitol but others encourarged gatherings around the Capitol.
FBI operatives, informants, people planted by political opponents of Trump or just crazy people?
Yes, that was wrong. But "someone convinced me to do it" is an extraordinarily crappy excuse for doing something illegal yourself. Nobody could "lure" me into smashing a window and crawling through it to enter the Capitol. Any actual Trump supporters who did that stuff are fully responsible for any of their own actions that violated the law, regardless of what others did or didn't do.
Again, any Trump supporters who were not using force, and simply were waved through by the Capitol police, have an entirely different defense.
