State legislators maneuver to preserve history of U.S. Capitol riot
CBS News ^ | November 9, 2025 | Scott MacFarlane

New York Assemblyman Chuck Lavine, a Democrat first elected to state office in 2005, has become one of a handful of unlikely leaders of state efforts to preserve the history of the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol insurrection.

Sitting in front of a bookshelf in his home office in Glen Cove, New York, a historic community just south of the Long Island Sound, Lavine, 78, has a pile of work on his desk — a proposal to establish a deer management program in his county, and material on organizing a youth reading program and promoting a food drive. And while the Jan. 6 riot might have taken place outside his district, Lavine is working to ensure his constituents are fully informed of what happened that day.

He has proposed legislation in New York to require all public school children to receive instruction about the insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021.

Indoctrination.

We do not yet know the role of the FBI during the riot. Were any FBI agents or operatives breaking any laws? Who was Ray Epps working for and why did he receive leniency? Who is the Scaffold Commander? Who brought the noose? Who were the antifa looking guys with handheld radios?

“Indoctrination.”

It’s stronger than facts, or logic, and the left is kicking our hind ends in this arena.

They want to preserve the memory of Horst Wessel.

The winners write the history.

That is one reason that winning is so important.

Not surprising. The Democrats like to project their seditious actions upon us. It must be exposed so that the majority will know a accept the truth.

“...receive instruction about the insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021.”


Is he also mandating instruction on the Senate bombing in 1983 or the Puerto Rican attack on Congress in 1954 in which five members were injured as well as their attack on Truman at Blair House? Those were much more violent than January 6.

Yeah, right.

It was a protest.

Not an insurrection.

Already the use of that unsolicited qualifying word “insurrection,” a pejorative, sets a negative tone which is highly subjective (2 sides to the story) and shows a high degree of bias if the other side isn't mentioned.

Most the people there did not want to overthrow a legitimate elected government nor side step the US Constitution and workings of our government. This wasn't an ANIFA organized event. They actually DO want to overthrow the US government.

The 6 January protesters, labeled as insurrectionists by Nancy Pelosi fist, wanted the US Constitution enforced and a legitimate government put in office through the workings of government which they see as having failed.

Most the 6 January protesters see themselves as patriots, support the US Constitution, support law enforcement, many served in the military... Labeling them as “insurrectionists” while the FBI's Wray can't label ANTIFA even as an organization is the height of political BS.

The crappy news mindlessly repeating the narrative set before them either means they are biased, idiots or both.

They are not idiots, but propagandists. The parrot what their bosses want them to report, so they can remain employed. They know exactly what they are doing.

Yes, the left plays upon the emotions of poorly informed (often by choice) people.

I have seen maybe a few hours of the riots. However, maybe only a minute of the CP firing flash bangs, pushing protesters off of ledges, beating a downed woman, scaffold commander, waving in protesters, etc. Now, why is that?

It has been 5 years and we do not know why provocateur Ray Epps got lenient treatment.

Will they preserve the media lying version of it, or the truth that infiltrators from ANTIFA and Occupy, plus three-letter government agencies started the violence?

That is my opinion, too.

Isn’t it sad that its the same thing with the media all over the Western World?

Pelosi already destroyed all the evidence presented to her J6 committee.
