    Sad thing is, these people don't realize what a downward spiral they're stuck in. It only leads once place: further down.

    Right and what's really great about this is that they don't have to present a single shred of proof because truth and facts don't matter when you're making this **** up.

    It was not "Pressure Congress" either. It was life threatening crime that took place and was broadcasted to the whole world.

    The battle of the DC capitol has been won!
    2021 biches ! I leave y’all with this in case you missed it ..please cue the southern violin music while reading ...your welcome :

    Dearest mother, I have received your care package of cured woodchuck elbows and fresh batch of Squirrel Oil — which has helped my sidearm function tremendously. There will be no battle this week. We have taken the capitol with minimal resistance and glory is ours. We have deposited defecation on Admiral Commander Pelosi’s desk and broke some windows. While casualties were relatively low we have achieved our objectives. The men get a much earned rest. We all are in good spirits. I miss you. We continue steadfast.

    I think there's more nuance to this. The Capitol Police is a relatively small force, 2,000 total, that is the security for basically the Capitol area. During the BLM movement, Trump ordered massive call-ups from DHS (and maybe other federal agencies) to combine with local police to put the beatdown on protesters. There were a lot of Capitol Police yesterday trying to do their jobs, but they just got overwhelmed.

    I'm not going to that traitor's twitter feed to hear more of her unhinged, delusional rantings, but I wonder if she made it a habit to record herself melting down while she was driving. Thank goodness she never killed anybody with her petulant selfishness.

    100%

    my point was that if she was a minority regardless of these extra facts there would be more outrage about it.

    Regardless, she didn’t deserve to lose her life. Neither did Floyd. Neither did a lot of people. You can post facts and qualifiers about the Floyd murder too. It doesn’t make it right.

    This is correct. This was the executive branch not properly preparing for what they knew might happen today. The real question is: Was is it intentional or incompetence?

    Question did you feel the same about them clearing a park so 45 could take a picture.

    agree with your second point, but your first assertion is empty. the next time there's an insurrection at the capitol and a minority insurrectionist is shot and killed while trying to climb through a barricade towards armed security, bring this up so we can compare levels of outrage at the resulting death. until then we have 0 frame of reference for how people respond to killings in this scenario and trying to draw equivalencies across significantly different fact patterns is laughable.
