A couple busloads of ANTIFA infiltrators paid for by the Democrats and supported by the media were there to disrupt the efforts of a million peaceful Trump supporters who made the trip to Washington DC to try and stop the Steal.

When I was a kid in Junior High School, there was this bully that constantly picked on me. He would push me, shove me, and once when the teacher was out of the room he punched me.

For weeks I never did anything in return for all of this assault, and when I brought it up with the assistant principal he did nothing but talk with the bully, which earned me yet another shove to the ground after school.

But finally one day I got fed up and I swung at him and then we got into what was basically a wrestling match.

As a result, I got a three day suspension. Here I was, victim to all of this punishment for weeks on end, my tormenter receiving no consequences at all for his actions, yet I get suspended for one punch.

That's how I feel today with what happened at the Capitol on Wednesday.

‘Blame’ belongs to crime or violence. Did anyone prove THAT was planned.

Blame should be place with the SUPREME COURT who refused to listen to cries of injustice from citizens who watched their election stolen.

Secondary person to blame is Pontius Pence.

Why should he be blamed for what happened? He asked people to come to D.C. That’s a perfectly normal and legal activity. He didn’t ask anyone to force themselves into the building.

The whole damn world is condemning the man, what more do you want? What will it change? Oh, I see, you want to break his ‘fans’, make them march to the narrative.

“Antifa and Black Lives Matter and that whole bunch tore up shit in cities across the country for months, and the Democrats didn’t really condemn it, not really,” Sanchez said. “I’m really pissed - but I’m not going to go out and destroy somebody’s house, I’m not going to burn down any business.”

He is correct. In some of those cities, the democrat leaders joined the marches that became violent and homes, businesses and police cars were burned. It was terrorism. People were afraid to come out of their houses, many armed themselves because the police had been cornered in many of those violent riots. And the LW lawmakers encouraged those rioters and said “They have grievances against the president and they are only expressing their free speech” none of which was true. The people and the nation is tired of these LW riots. They were nothing but a tool the LW used to get their people elected, and the cost of American citizens. And honestly, we all see this as terrorism. The Democrats terrorized the nation for 4 years, all because they lost.

Granted, the taking of the Capitol was a little over the top. But the statement has been made. Congress needs to stop dicking around and do their job. If congress doesn’t learn from this, well, our nation will collapse. Under Pelosi we have become the divided states of America. Under her, anyone who didn’t vote democrat has been branded a deplorable, a degenerate, a loser, worthless and non-contributor to the nation. That is how she and her party see us. Elite rich people like her who have never know what it is like to live paycheck to paycheck, to put baling wire on a fence cause you can’t afford to fix it, or to count pennies to buy gas to get to work. People like her do not live in reality. They were born to money and used that money to not only make themselves rich, but to lord over the poor and suck the taxes out of them to keep themselves and their rich friends rich. They are greedy, self centered arrogant elitists. So even though I do condemn taking the Capitol, I totally understand why a desperate people did it. People are tired of them. In many ways, congress has outlived its purpose, and it has become so badly corrupt.

I’m off my soapbox now

I condemn violence by the left because they want to subvert the US Constitution. They destroy the small businesses of hard working Americans that employ other hard working Americans. Nearly every Democrat, including Biden and his Ho, supported bLM and Antifa. Meanwhile, in state capitols around the country, leftist governors unilaterally forced closures of American small businesses, shuttered places of worship, limited the gathering of citizens and abused multiple other constitutional rights.

I do not condemn violence by the right. Yes, I have the guts to say so. I live in Pennsylvania and my most basic right of enfranchisement has been stolen. I have no representation because my vote does not count. Add to a laundry list of other constitutionally guaranteed rights being eliminated, I think there is a sane and rational response before things get worse.

Our founding fathers revolted over much less than what is going on today. I fully understand that our founders took years to reach the conclusion that revolt was the only course of action. They petitioned King George and Parliament. They continued to do so up to and after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Concurrently to petitioning their grievances, there were acts of civil disobedience. Additionally there was outright insurrection prior to signing of the Declaration. Our founders wanted a peaceful resolution, but were lead to the choice between capitulation and revolt.

Today we can draw many parallels to the circumstances our founders faced. We can also draw many parallels to more recent history and what has occurred in the quest for socialism and communism to be imposed upon peoples around the world. We are living in a banana republic. Our elections are meaningless. We know from history where that leads. Right now, today, presently, we do not have our full constitutional rights.

We are on the side of the righteous. We want freedom and liberty. Our enemies, and yes they are enemies, want complete control and domination of every facet of our lives. They have already gone so far to put healthy people under house arrest and shuttered their businesses. Petitioning our grievances will only fall on deaf ears because these people do not represent us. However, we should not stop petitioning. The election was a sham. When you lose the most basic right of enfranchisement the representative republic in which we once lived no longer exists.

There are only two choices: capitulate to the left or revolt. We can certainly try to speak our minds and try to have our grievances heard while conducting acts of civil disobedience. Those acts can be escalated to be uncivil, still while petitioning our grievances. If that does not work then it is time for full-scale revolt.

Breaking a window or two in the Capitol building does not rise to some kind of high-crime. Shooting an unarmed woman in the Capitol building does. Stealing an election does. Repeated attempts to remove the legitimately elected 45th President is a high crime when the methods used are based on abject lies and illegal use of government agencies.

Violence is required. It should be escalated as we petition our grievances and until we have our full rights restored.

They blamed the violence on left wing protesters - without any evidence.

All the evidence is in the open it’s called the news media
check your own handy work Reuters your gang of drooling idiots own the blame.
