    Here's the bigger problem. The fact that some people beleive this is a huge face palm is where our issues fester. Most people that I know want everyone who commited crimes to be held accountable. They don't want anyone involved to get away with anything.

    But for some folks they think it is all about getting one over and tarnishing the other side.

    That makes people try and act defensively to protect their side and indulge in What-aboutism. Some of those folks might have been willing to find agreement in being against criminals. But when one side generalizes the behavior and applies to everyone, the people who are being broadstroked think they aren't like those criminals and search for ways to point fingers and shout, "You're guilty too!" or "It was really you guys" which brings out a similarly defensive response. And the cycle of getting nowhere continues. I feel like we could all be on the same side in condemning the criminals involved.

    It’s ALL his fault!!! The master ring leader he must be.

    What an idiot. How do you not know you’ll be used as a prop to mount a defense? Yes he should be charged. F this moron.

    From the description sounds like he’s another idiot. If he really is left wing he’s making things worse for the cause he’s believed in by being there. If he’s trying to rile things up he’s no better than the Boogaloo Boys who decided to “join” BLM to attack the Third Precinct.

    If he thinks he’s there as a journalist egging people on isn’t journalism.

    On top of that he’s lucky he didn’t get seriously injured or worse if he was there and claimed to be a Leftists

    he should be charged just like all the other insurrectionists and traitors. per the article, he is on camera egging people on telling them to burn and destroy. doesnt sound like any kind of journalist to me.

    i dont care if it was trump cult members, militia, antifa, anarchists,ect. anyone who was involved should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. its pathetic that we have to keep explaining this to the right-wing extremists on here who are obsessed with half-assed whatabouisms.

    2nd person of color spotted at the Capitol. Do we need more proof that this was antifa?

    ...here's one example of how somebody should act who wants to do some "investigative journalism"...
    ...(which is chronicling events as they happen, and not inciting and/or engaging or participating in illegal and violent and dangerous behavior, and trying to walk back culpability once apprehended)...;)

    BLM and Antifa is all about inciting and instigating based on what we saw from the summer riots tho and maybe more so with Antifa that still pushe Ted Wheeler to the breaking point despite his efforts to take a supportive and understanding stance

    That's what it looks like. Throw the book at him.

    Of course, this will be used by the trumpers to reconfirm yeap, it's Antifa and BLM (who are the same to them).

    each and every person who went past the barricades should be charged and tried

    ...and no rational person has said or suggested anything different.

    Don't let anybody deflect from the fact that, if ANTEEFER or BLM or some folks at the rest home, got inside the capitol building and broke something first...

    ...(which they didn't...because doctored videos are doctored videos)...

    ...those "peaceful protestors" actually fired the first shot by being there unlawfully in the first place.

    Those nuts and bastards wanted to channel the spirit of 1776 or something, right?

    ...Well, the whole world got to hear this shot...and the rest of the world might as well cover their ears if we start talking about democracy again if we don't take care of this...

    Charge them all! I could care less which side they are on politically. One thing is for sure, Trump incited them and we don't need these type radicals getting away with this type violence in our country. Impeaching the ring leader is the first step.

    Them (BLM) pushing away this person (and others) disputes that assertion. Going by your measure, the Republican Party is a racist organization because many of it's members are openly racist. I've been adamant about the separation of protesters and rioters/looters and a lot of what was done last summer and beyond was protesting. There was rooting and looting as well and that is what they are, rioters and looters not protesters who have been denounced.

    Antifa is a label anybody can slap on anything, it's not centralized, it's not organized...it's just a label. That being said, lawbreakers need to go to jail...regardless of what organization they are a part of or what label they have.

    I don't get this infatuation. When bugaloo boys killed cops this summer I didn't see the usual suspects say anything. 1 leftist didn't incite them over the edge. It's ridiculous.

    Agree I hoped we would have also gone after the whitehouse seditionists last summer with meaningful zeal just as well , maybe that would have sent a clear message to the trump supporters that would riot and attempt to trespass restricted barriers . Lock them all up and the great thing is this sets the precedent on how we should go after all that go against government in a seditious manner.
