Politically Motivated Violence Thread PART 2

[JettaKnight]

Purple implied, or do we share different opinions regarding the definition of "violent attacks" (against persons)?

Functionally, January 6th was little more than disturbing the peace, trespassing, and some instances of theft/vandalism. Those should be prosecuted for the crimes that they are. Continuing to pretend that it was an insurrection is tedious.

I didn't say insurrection, did I? Cameramonkey didn't say insurrection. The thread title isn't insurrection, it's  violence. And to pretent the events of Jan 6 wasn't violent is tedious.

It's wasn't just a few flower pots knocked over, it was a mob in gear (crash helmets and all) charging in the capitol, trampling whatever LEO they encountered.

And it's the hypocrisy that gets me - those people probably have blue flags hanging and brag about being law abiding and telling others just to obey the law every other day of their life.

And to say they aren't controlled by one man is completely disingenuous: just look at all the videos of rioters looking at their phones or buffalo man and his megaphone, "time to stop! Trump just told us to go home!"


I'm not defending the leftist at all, but at least they're honest and consistent with their ACAB crap.


But this isn't the point of this thread, so I shall post no more.

How was January 6 "violence"? Here is a reasonable definition (I welcome alternates): "behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something"

The vast majority of January 6th was trespassing and chanting. There were some cases of vandalism/property damage, and they should be dealt with as such.

There was violence at the Capital that day.



According to reports, there were 140 officers injured that day...

I dunno. Looks "mostly peaceful" to me.

Right... it's not like they burned the Capitol down. But, just cause they have double standards, doesn't mean we should.

Those who commit illegal acts of violence ought to be treated the same, no matter their ideology.

Attempted assignation on Zeldin. The felon was immediately released.

Oh, I agree. I've said it before, and you know it's true...if it was BLM and Antifa storming the Capitol trying to overturn a Trump victory, INGO would be arguing over the merits of miniguns vs. Claymores in the Rotunda.

 

[bobzilla]

You guys obviously haven't heard about Trump trying to overpower the SS driving him.

Oh no, I heard that idiocy as well. ****ing morons.

 

[jamil]

I guess you aren't watching the Jan 6 hearings.

Ya. Especially that cancer riddled grandma. ****ing nazi ****.

Two movies, one reality

And your movie is a fantasy

Edit: As well as a 'box office' flop

Maybe you missed this part:
"The vast majority of January 6th was trespassing and chanting. There were some cases of vandalism/property damage, and they should be dealt with as such."
They haven;t even done that with the Antifa and BLM protests

Is that like the capital police officer that was killed by the riots? At home. The following day. Are they counting any injuries for that week?

So are you saying that what I stated did not happen? I question the number, because it fits a narrative. I don't doubt there were n'e'r do wells in the crowd. Crowds tend to devolve to the lowest common denominator and that's why I choose to not be in them.

That is the tamest riot in the history of riots. All the footage, and that's the best/most they can come up with? Yes, in those instances where the few people assaulted police officers, convict them for that. Most of what was shown, however, was a crowd of people attempting to push through the line to access the building.

The vast majority of those present should have been issued citations for trespassing, instead of being thrown in a gulag and denied due process for months.

I'm just saying, you can't say there was NO violence because there was violence. That's being as dismissive as the usual suspects saying the BLM riots were "mostly peaceful" and ignoring the violence.

Overcharging people because of a political narrative is what's occurring. You know that, I know that, they know that. The Jan 6th Committee is a political show trial. You know that, I know that, they know that.

Sometimes, you answer your own questions.
