    Exactly correct. The only difference is that it happened once to the white woman, but it happens over and over to people of color.

    I can't say more without repeating what @Sweet Lou 4 2 has already pointed out about just following the instructions of Leo's. She didn't, was less than a dozen yards from members of Congress, with a group that had already injured other LEOs, and were chanting death threats.

    The law enforcement officials were overly restrained in order avoid casualties. There was no liability on the part of the Law Enforcement at all.

    We are on information warfare footing. Regardless the Republicans were and are surely now are still prepared to spin martyrdom anyway they can in order to achieve their political gain. You could make the case that Trump sent all of them there that day as a political sacrifice. A true cult leader always does this when their backs are against the wall. Hence the saying.. drink the cool aid.

    Trump knew all of those trump supporters could have been shot or eventually arrested but he sent them there regardless. Babbitt is a victim of Trump.

    This instance has little to do with who was right or wrong between capital police and 1/6 insurrectionist. Both sides were just doing what they understood to be their jobs. Ashley Babbitt was in a cult and paid the same price that people from Jonestown paid. The rest of those Trumpers were very lucky to get a second chance in life. Hell some of them even are getting rewarded with leadership positions in government by the Republican Party and it’s voters like commodore, Sura, Astrodome, etc.

    So to my point about information warfare, we are losing if we allow people like Sura/Commodore to hijack the primary factor in the conversation that is the fact that Trump sent thousands of his own supporters to their fate in a last ditch effort to stay in power.

    It was a cult leader with the feds closing in asking his followers to drink the cool aid. It wasn’t about whether the Jonestown woman who died as a result or the feds were the problem… it’s about Jim Jones who was the villain. If you engage in a conversation about whether or not the Jonestown cult member or the Feds were the real problem you let Jim Jones off the hook… which is the primary objective of this disinformation warfare.

    Trump is the antagonist of 1/6 and 100% of the blame is on him for being the first president in our history to attempt a coup to stay in power and overturn a democratic election. He should be rotting in prison the rest of his life.

    Also reminder that Rep Jackie Speier was also a victim of the Jonestown massacre as a Congressional staffer at the time trying to uncover the truth about Jim Jones. I can only imagine the PTSD she must have felt on 1/6.

    lol.

    she died b/c she was brainwashed into believing that the election was stolen and she made the decision to take part in an insurrection to overthrow our government.

    she made the decision to climb through that window and over the barricade. it was 100% her fault.

    i just wish more of those traitorous trump cultists would have been shot. the fact that so many of them are getting off with a slap on the wrist (if that) will only ensure that it happens again.

    nope. 100% justified and yall should be thankful that the cops showed the kind of restraint they did. we all know if it was antifa and BLM protestors doing what those trumpers did that a lot more people would have died.

    as trump himself said regarding BLM protests, "when the looting starts the shooting starts".

    To even throw out the ridiculous claim it was murder is stupid as hell. The radical right views can't be changed. They are neck deep in Trump's BS.

    Hey Trump...the people that believe you are the same people that always believed everything you said. You haven't won over anyone new. People with common sense know the election was not stolen no matter how many times you and your cronies say it was. It doesn't make it true by churning out the same pathetic narrative. We know what was going on behind the scenes. You'll were doing anything you could to change the outcome of the election to your favor...actual results be damned. You alone are responsible for January 6th. And, what makes you completely pathetic and in on it is you sat and watched it for hours on TV and did absolutely nothing until the last possible moment when the damage was already done. You loved it! Your only regret is it did not work! You weren't able to overthrow the government and retain power...which is the outcome you wanted. You are the worst president we ever had. Period. You will be remembered for being the only president who didn't oversee the peaceful transfer of power but fled to Florida instead. You treated the presidency like a dictator. FIre everyone who doesn't agree with you. Replace them! Replace them with 'Yes to Trump' men! You belong in prison! You know it! We all know it! You turned democracy into a farce. And, you did it all because your so vain.

    Somebody dropped the ball? Dude, you're beyond hope.

    In a sane world, the president's oath of office is to defend democracy, this would be a priority, especially if the US Capitol is under attack.

    Unless of course, the attack is part of your plan to destroy democracy and steal an election. Which appears to be the reality in which you and your ilk reside.

    So you have no comeback? Typical

    You're refusing to honor a request that the creator, owner and maintainer of the site that you post on and choose to pay zero dollars to support made?


    Front Office?

    Fix Obamacare?

    Fox Obfuscates (the truth)?

    Everything you said happening doesnt preclude other factors contributing. I wouldn't think it would be impossible to stop unarmed loonies from breaching the Capitol grounds. I bet they couldn't do that today. Why do you turn to personal insults? You are a better poster than that.

    Depend on how many armed loonies there are. Also depends on your definition of unarmed. Also, many were armed before breaching the Capitol.

    Many of those involved in the attack were armed, and several had guns that police later seized.
