irish Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 How do you feel about them? Where do you stand? Are you watching coverage?

stevegrab Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Did not watch the coverage, not sure it will amount to much, or change any minds. Most either believe it was a horrible attempt to overthrow our government or a picnic for disappointed Trump supporters. I did see a bit of it on the news last night, the Capitol police officer describing the carnage was pretty wild. PS Was that link supposed to point to a specific story at NY Times? Because it takes me a page with content for a specific reporter (Ian Prasad Philbrick) whose first listed story is about Jan 6 hearings. And the link for that page (below) doesn't look anything like the one you provided. Anytime I see a link like the one you posted (full of so much extra stuff beyond a normal web link) I wonder how people got that. https://www.nytimes.com/by/ian-prasad-philbrick?campaign_id=9&emc=edit_nn_20220610&instance_id=63658&nl=the-morning®i_id=149246767&segment_id=94726&te=1&user_id=5388dc7cd5096e52d60f540afbaaa8c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a group there attempting to prevent Biden who was the elected candidate from being confirmed as president. That's an attempt to overthrow our government. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see how anyone could view it as anything other than an attempt to overthrow the government because a sore loser lost and then spread baseless rumors of voter fraud to his clueless masses to excuse his actions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League_Champion Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Why did security open the doors and why wasn't it heavily guarded and defended?

Bobby Brown Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 People are avoiding the lack of security issue? In what universe are you two living in? There's ample investigation and evidence of major security failures that have been widely documented. Threat of violence never taken seriously, call for reinforcements delayed, chief resigned, some 30 cops were investigated and I belive a number displinary actions/indictments. Also a number of the insurrection doofuses themselves were active law enforcement. It's rather obvious the whole thing was bungled from leadership to certain individual officers who were sympathetic to the rioters. Talk about an imaginary premise...... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Capital police didn't take the threat of domestic terrorism from this faction seriously and it blew up in their face. The desire of Trump humpers and conspiracy kids to feed their fake victimhood complex doesn't change that.

So to the point, what part of that is untrue or incorrect? 547 riots in one summer with a billion in damage and Democrat politicians were opening advocating for more "in your face" and "call to action" and actually pushing to raise money for the rioters bail. Republicans can and often are repugnant, but its not really debatable that Democrats actions in the past 4 or 5 years has been reprehensible. Dont like it, be better. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Period. Just as every single rioter and looter over the previous summer should have been shot, not supported, excused, knelt for, and bailed out.

As of June 2020, AP reported that there had been more than 10,000 arrests during the protests subsequent to George Floyd's death. Life isn't fair whataboutism is for the weak-minded. Rioters who break laws and get caught have to deal with consequences. That's how things works. Republicans really have turned into the party of sniveling victimhood since Trump was elected. Tough to watch. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
