"J6 Attack"

There's that misleading language again. It was a political demonstration in which some participants became unruly when police fired flash-bangs and rubber bullets into the crown, causing anger and panic. There was very little physical damage (two or three broken doors and windows) and not a single shot was fired by the pro-Trump crowd. The protesters on Trump's first inauguration day caused much more damage, but they got away with it.

I regard these folks as some of "The Hostages" being released. Certainly, they are political prisoners of Joe Biden and the Radical Left.

Given that Biden just pardoned Byrd, he should pardon all of them.

And then he should challenge Biden’s preemptive pardons in court.

It looks like Byrd won’t be alone as the only J6er who was pardoned.

Local newscaster Frank Buckley here in L.A. described Jan 6 as an “attack on the Capitol and fight to the death...”

Excuse me?! Did hundreds die and I missed it??

Right.

My thought is that EVERY ONE of the “J6ers” should have their sentences commuted on day 1, then beginning soon but not today consideration should be given to full pardons on a case-by-case basis.

It is possible to quibble about pardoning some, but I doubt that any of those quibbles stand up for ANY cases, given the provocation.

Excellent!

Now let's have a committee to find out exactly what happened and who's responsible. Let the truth be exposed no matter what it should be.

If it should be determined that the defendants were persecuted, if they were victims of entrapment, or they received unjust treatment, they should be authorized to sue their persecutors for damages.

NO

If murderer assassin, James Bird gets a pardon, a pre-empty pardon that every J Sixer should receive a full pardon, violent or not

Wait and listen for the media to say that Trump’s pardons are unprecedented and unconstitutional.

Pardon all of them with the exception of any law enforcement agency employee who went undercover to foment unrest. They should be tried for sedition and treason.

I have a seen a video showing capitol cops pulling barricades aside and waving protesters into the capitol curtilage and building.
Did D’oh pardon Nazi Pelosi? She is the moving force here.

I would like to see each one give a televised statement about how they were treated.
