Storming the Capitol

[vantexan]

The pro Democracy demonstrations were not about overturning a free and legal election just because a few radicals did not like the outcome.

What is democratic about physically attacking anyone who disagrees with you, torching buildings, smashing windshields, assaulting cops?

The new definition they use for democratic is what rational people call "racketeering". You know those whacky leftists, always playing with the language. Radical extremism is now called "moderate", obvious election fraud is "free and faIr", shrinking GDP is "economic growth", and so on...

It really is strange we get all these updates about the hours of rioting that happened at the capital, yet it’s mostly crickets and let’s move on from the months of violent rioting that happened all across the country and mostly targeting the everyday citizen with their criminality and violence. That’s had a much greater effect on the people’s lives over a silly ceremonial acknowledgement by the government being interrupted and later finished that day.

If these people were left wing they would give it a couple years then come out with a hot take about how some of them are really hero and admirable voices for justice.

And right now people are talking online about burning everything down if Roe is overturned. Let's throw them in jail for over a year without a speedy trial.

Well obviously it's for political gain, to associate all Republicans with the riot, and drag it out everytime they need to distract Democrat voters.

The question of why it effectively distracts Democrat voters is a deeper question though. It's easier to answer that when you hear them talk about the trespassing on "sacred" or "hallowed" halls of the Capitol.

Leftism is a cult, and these buildings are like churches for their big government religion. That's why BLM riots burning down cities for months means nothing, but putting your feet on pelosi's desk should get you crucified. It's an affront to their religion.

We have seen that repeatedly on this forum. Sweep the Floyd riots under the rug but act like the country is falling apart over mostly middle aged unarmed men yelling one time at the Capitol Building.

I was definitely being facetious calling it strange, these people are as transparent as my windshield and you are correct.

One thing though, they have absolutely no respect for the United States of America or it’s government buildings, they have pardoned multiple terrorists for targeting them. We could go back and forth trying to pin down what the is wrong with these dip s and never arrive at a consensus for what drives their insanity. Hell they are basically non-political if you get most of them off Facebook and quit pressuring them into caring about they clearly don’t.

You don’t know all the pressure feds can apply or what deals they cut people.

I’m going to speculate Andy say the Prosecutor was going to bury these guys under the jail never to see light of day unless they pleaded guilty. Which obviously gives more credence to the whole “riot” thing.

 

[bbsam]

Geeezus.... a year later and people are still obsessing about a single riot that lasted like 2 hours. GMAFB

I’m sure if it REALLY HAD BEEN BLM AND ANTIFA, you’d be seeing things a bit differently right now.

As it is, folks on the right still can’t bring themselves to admit that elements of their party actually forcefully attempted to stop the peaceful transfer of power. That’s not something this country is going to stop talking about a year later nor should it.

If you’re going to speculate, you should go all in and say they were going to be executed on the White House lawn. That’s the great thing about speculation. It can get you to any conclusion you want it to.

If it was BLM and antifa is would be asking why the hell they haven't been tried convicted sentenced and imprisoned after a whole damn year.

When you imprison political dissidents for a year with no end in sight it's not exactly shocking when they take a plea deal.

The great thing about transparency is that it can end speculation. Unfortunately Democrats have kept thousands of hours of footage secret.

Because when self-ordained royalty is attacked, it becomes a tragedy of epic proportions.

It was amazing the firepower they brought.

If it had been BLM and Antifa they would've shown up with guns and wouldn't have been held like these "white supremacists" have been.

Is threating to attack the building and the Judges who work there the same as the what happen in DC on J6 ?

Honestly, a mob of people want to halt and stop a government body from preforming their jobs.

Yep , we need a may6 investigation committee to investigate the threats and possible vandalism . We'll put President Trump in charge . That would drive them freakin nuts !!!

Oath Keeper from NC pleads guilty to seditious conspiracy

A North Carolina man has pleaded guilty to conspiring with other members of the far-right Oath Keepers militia group to forcefully halt the peaceful transfer of power after President Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral victory.

"A North Carolina man pleaded guilty on Wednesday to conspiring with other members of the far-right Oath Keepers militia group to forcefully halt the peaceful transfer of power after President Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral victory.

William Todd Wilson, 44, of Newton Grove, North Carolina, is the third Oath Keepers member to plead guilty to a seditious conspiracy charge stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Brian Ulrich, 44, of Guyton, Georgia, pleaded guilty to the same charge last Friday. Joshua James, 34, of Arab, Alabama, was the first Oath Keepers member to plead guilty to seditious conspiracy.

Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, 55, of Granbury, Texas, and eight others linked to the group have pleaded not guilty to seditious conspiracy and other charges. A trial for some of them is scheduled to start in July."

Seditious conspiracy is a crime in various jurisdictions of conspiring against the authority or legitimacy of the state. As a form of sedition, it has been described as a serious but lesser counterpart to treason, targeting activities that undermine the state without directly attacking it.

How does one challenge the legitimatcy of the state without being accused of conspiracy against the state?
how does one commit unarmed sedition? Is the argument of the state that flag waving and loud yelling was going to overthrow the state?
