And if he is a troll, it doesn't excuse what he says. He should be treated as if his words and deeds are meant seriouslyUnit2Sucks said:You realize that you are giving hanky exactly what he wants right? Don't make the mistake of believing that hanky ever posts in good faith. He's a poor man's troll posting here only to get a rise out of you.OaktownBear said:You haven't called this out. You have just claimed false equivalencies to justify them. You own it. You aren't a hypocrite. You are a troll, but most of all you are a despicable, immoral person. A woman is in critical condition after being shot in the Capitol. A bomb has been found outside the Capitol building. You have just confirmed what many have known for a long time. You are an inhuman piece of shyte.hanky1 said:OaktownBear said:You own thishanky1 said:
I hate rioting of all types - this one and the last one. I called out the rioting in Seattle and Portland while many of you clowns were defending them. Now you are calling out this rioting but never did the ones on the NW. atleast I'm consistent. You guys are just hypocrites.
It's perfectly fine to ridicule him for being a pathetic troll who posts things that only an idiot would believe, but don't mistake his weak game to believe he has a personal stake in anything he says. That's literally the only reason he posts.
You've convinced me. I will not look upon his posts as those of a simple troll.

At least they're starting to arrest the true enemies of the people.
Looking back on our history, I get the feeling that, with regard to our 2 most historic wars (the revolutionary war and the civil war), some folks in this country want a rematch. I guess they feel that the wrong side won. I shudder to think what the last 200+ years would have looked like had one of the other sides won. So I'm not sure what the motivation is. But crazy is as crazy does.

For all the hand-wringing and media coverage today's riot was not really a big deal compared to what might have been. A few hundred people, maybe a thousand, managed to enter the Capitol with the assistance - or incompetence - of the police.
This could have been a call to arms for Trump supporters across the US and it wasn't. Americans are pretty much United in opposition to what occurred.
Trump threw a match on the gunpowder and found out it was wet.

I'm fascinated why someone would dress like that and storm a building. It sounds like...Sebastabear said:

After being tied up with work for most of the day. It seems as though:
1. Trump provoked the crowd and told them to go to the Capitol building.
2. The crowd turned into a mob, and with surprising ease got entry to the building.
3. They wandered around trashing the place for a while (I'm curious to know how the deaths happened).
4. Other states had mobs attempt to storm their buildings.
5. Law Enforcement came and cleared the Capitol.
6. Biden was certified.
Thoughts:
1. If the goal was a coup, there were sporadic outbreaks nationally, but nothing serious ever got close to materializing.
2. Those in charge of Security at the Capitol & for the protest need to explain why there was such little resistance.
3. I fully reject the idea this was antifa.
4. The comparisons to the BLM movement are dumb and should be disregarded.
5. The speculation of how the police would have responded if this was a BLM protest is dumb and should be disregarded.
6. Minus a few Trumpers, nothing really changed.
7. The 25th amendment invoking is not going to happen, and security needs to be prepared at the inauguration.
Additional Thoughts Based on Watching Too Many Movies:
1. This would be great cover if someone wanted to infiltrate and destroy or steal key documents from the Capitol building. Potentially damning or sensitive documents.
2. This is great cover for some Republican congressmen to have an inflection point and now distance themselves from Trump.
Final Thought:
1. Trump may be a man without a country, but he has a nation, and Trump nation ain't leaving.

I would like to hear more about the story. Why was only one shot fired and why was she singled out? She was likely a garden variety seditionist who lost her life by failing to abide by lawful orders from law enforcement during her participation in a violent insurrection. But I do wonder why she was shot where so many went unharmed.NYCGOBEARS said:MinotStateBeav said:Left out the part she was a 14 year veteran and unarmed.B.A. Bearacus said:Last post before she became a martyr:okaydo said:
RIP
She was a traitor to her oath and country.
Separate question: as an insurrectionist, would she be ineligible for a military funeral? I sure hope so.
Rep Scott Perry of Pennsylvania is upset why ?

Link to the video. Warning: It's graphic. Also. There's a graphic picture of her being carried out in this thread.
Now if they were black people what would have happened?
You left out the part "She should have complied!" But that's because you are a garden variety MAGAt hypocrite.
