When several hundred extremists mobbed Capitol Hill

Knock it off with the extremist talk. Exactly how does the author know they were extremists? Why use the word 'deplorable'? Is that some reference to Trump supporters? Prove they were Trump supporters. There seems to be evidence that FBI assets were leading the way. Let's see who was really involved before writing such garbage.

When they talk about it being deplorable, they must mean the shooting of Ashley Babbitt. That’s the only thing that comes to my mind as being deplorable.

The rest of it could at most be characterized as stupid or shortsighted where people are causing damage or stealing things.

Democrats got scared because it threatened the ratification of the election. In fact, if I remember right, it did get delayed.

As much as I believe the election was stolen (no, not pervasive, Bill Bar, just in key jurisdictions to flip the electoral college), I have to agree. An intrusion on the sovereign functions of the congress should be considered a problem.

But this whole thing has gone hyper-political. Democrats want to assign guilt and shame, not just on the protestors outside the capitol that day, but to have the voters in this nation. They also don’t care that they cheated, and they are scared to death that it will get exposed.

It was a false flag attack by leftists to blame on Trump voters. Nothing more.

The whole operation was not even being run by the people who are being blamed for it. The organization and execution came from direct orders by Speaker Pelosi, who controlled the whole deployment of “protective” Capitol police. These were the same guardians who stepped aside when the BLM/Antifa mob, wearing false flags of apparent Trump support, led the actual incursion of the Capitol grounds. Also among this crowd were a number of FBI instigators, herding and directing the movement of the flow of participants through the Capitol.

It was "a political protest that was put out of control" by political operatives from the left, namely Antifa radicals. Antifa (sent in by the democratic left) hijacked the expected peaceful protest and 'lit' and led the crowd into the capitol, with the intention of turning it into mayhem, with the end purpose of making the republican protesters and Trump look like 'insurrectionists', where insurrection was/is the term that democrats use to try to define Trump as an insurrectionist and a traitor to the constitution. Eventually, the REAL truth will come out, but democrats are intent on making sure that it doesn't come out, otherwise, it would be the end of their political ambitions and their party.

I completely disagree. It was January 6, 2021 and they just stole the election. I think Jan 6 was totally appropriate, outside of murdering Ashli Babbitt.

Why is it that when patriots rise up in righteous anger all the elites get uppity? But let there be months of looting, mayhem, and dissolution of the rule of law, and hey, that’s mostly peaceful.

Nonsense. In the full context of our founding fathers January 6 was completely justified and didn’t go far enough, again, outside of the cold-blooded murder of Babbitt.

I don't have an issue with this. What those people who entered the Capitol (as opposed to those who protested/stayed outside) did was just flat-out dumb. I'm sure there were some leftist agitators in there, but that doesn't excuse the stupidity of those who weren't.

In any case, the core point about it not being a coup, insurrection, or threat to democracy is absolutely correct. And certainly nobody deserved to get shot.

Nancy Pelosi et al should realize there will be no realization of a coup.

Dead people realize nothing

Yes,some people *did* behave deplorably on Jan 6. I,for one,haven't seen a breakdown of which ones were true Trump supporters and which were Antifa/anarchist punks...but I'll wager that most were from the latter group.

Trespassing? OK,I'll accept that. I've seen it suggested that many didn't even realize they were trespassing. But ignorance of the law,they say,is no excuse.

If we're talking "insurrection" we need to talk about firebombs being thrown at Federal courthouses in Portland,Seattle and elsewhere last year.

January 6th wasn't within 100 light years of being an "insurrection".

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.

BLM and AntiFa burning down cities for months are extremists in action. Jan 6, not so much.

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.

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.

I dunno. Conservatives are not very experience in protests. We were 100% RIGHT IN PROTESTING but we our tactics were wrong.

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.

” 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?
