You know, what about all the people who were there for the rally, yet we're peaceful? Maybe the main reason the Capitol Police and Pelosi were caught with their pants down, was because these guys had never been violent...They actually had a reputation for picking up after themselves.
Even for the people who protested at the Capitol, Trump told them to protest, but to protest peacefully. Yet, that protest turned into a riot.
And yes, whether Jon will admit it or not, there were FBI elements in that riot, who may have known what some were planning. There are even allegations that some of the FBI elements helped whip the crowd up.
At the end of the day, only one person died as a direct result of the riot, Ms. Babbitt. I think some people were arrested and charged properly, I think others were arrested on the flimsiest of evidence or were vastly overcharged for the crimes they committed. And I firmly believe some of those in the DC jail were treated like they were jailed in a third world dictatorship.
Lastly, I, like a large percentage of Americans think there was absolutely something dreadfully wrong with the 2020 election.
And nobody in power, especially on the Left side of the aisle, gives a damn.
Because Trump.

Yep. Add that to the list of suffering caused by one single snowflake.

I still haven’t been able to learn how the insurrectionists breached copper doors weighing 20,000 pounds…

@LuFins-Dad they broke the windows nearby, and those who got in were able to open the doors from inside. If you haven’t seen videos of this I can find some clips.

I’d be curious to see those. I was under the impression the doors were unlocked. I remember one video where a cop was standing by while trespassers walked through an open door.
Education is extremely important.

It was a simple risk/reward scenario.
What if the coup had succeeded?
Our southern border would be intact, all those illegals would be home building their own country instead of trashing ours.
The war in Ukraine would be over.
Tucker Carlson would be VP.
We wouldn't have to worry about presidential elections anymore.
It was a high stakes game. He took the big risk and lost.

That happened too, but also at that point the single cop wasn’t going to prevent the human wave. I’ll see if I can find a video. The baby is sleeping in my arms…honestly now sure how parents held newborns for hours without a smartphone to stay entertained.

Longer and better video. Around 11:00 with the door being kicked open at 13:50.

What's really amazing about this is that only one person was shot.
It could very easily have been a bloodbath. I imagine that eventuality would have given Tucker Carlson enormous pleasure, as he could talk about the tyranny of the government.

Tucker has his shtick, no doubt about it. He's not always wrong. In fact, many times he's right. Same thing for Hannity.

When somebody always takes one side of the partisan fence it ceases to matter whether he's right or not, because you know how he's going to spin it. The same thing applies to CNN etc.
Sometimes the Republicans are right, sometimes the Democrats are right. Somebody who's honest should be able to acknowledge this. What Trump did prior to January 6th was flat out wrong.

Around the 1:38 mark

When I watch that video it makes me wish Ashley Babbitt had been part of a statistic rather than a mere tragedy.
