But, this woman, this unarmed woman, was shot, and killed, by the cops.
To what extent did the police understand the specifics of the situation outside of "the Capitol has been breached"?

@george-k Yeah, I guess part of me is just trying to make sure I'm holding people who are more generally speaking "in my tribe" to the same level of accountability as I would the other guys.
I can imagine me having some pretty unsympathetic comments if a bunch of anti-fa made it inside the Capitol building while Congress was closing in on certifying the election for Trump.
Plus, to me...storming buildings and taking them over is in and of itself a threating/dangerous behaviour. Chaz be damned.

I want to make sure my position on this is clear, as well as address the claim that this was Trumps fault.
I have not said that a agree with them doing what they did. I'm simply saying I understand why they did it. And it's not Trumps fault that they did it. There were tens of thousands of people at Trumps rally. The vast majority of them were peaceful, and did not participate in the mob attack. If Trump had been responsible for this, there would have been 5 or 6 times as many people involved. But a small group who came to the rally decided to go out on their own and form a mob.
You can't ignore people, lie to them, make fun of them, and all the things the media and the Left have done for 4 years and not end up with a few hotheads who get so frustrated they take matters into their own hands. Most of the people at the rally are just as upset these few peopke did what they did as anyone else. But to claim its Trump's fault is simply a continuation of the treatment Trump supporters have had to put up with, and gives the democrst/Left a pass on their involvement.
In short, this was not a "Trump supporter/Trump caused this" mob. This was a few bad actors, who went off on their own, frustrated over the very kind of treatment the majority of Trump supporters are having hurled at them now, even though the vast majority do not agree with them Bob. Trump supporters have ALWAYS been peaceful, even polite. Yet the one time a small group of bad actors do something similar to what the Left has done for 4 years now, and suddenly it's "all Trump supporters are violent and Trump caused it. That's incorrect, shallow, and unfair.

That's pretty much word-for-word what the people who made excuses for the Antifa riots said.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

I wouldn't loot a store, I get why they did.

THIS will be Trump's legacy.
Yes, and it is sad and wrong. But it is also completely his own doing. His taped message to the protestors was so freaking lame.
Honestly, at this point I'd support removing him from office based on the 25th.
I partly agree with you. I think there was a lot to learn from the non-landslide victory the Dems had eeked through (plus they should have lost the Senate).
I think there was some reflection going on (why did minority vote for Trump go up? How did he have so much support hang on even after 4 years of Trump being Trump, etc.). But now this will just drive the narrative that Trump=bad, Trump supporters=bad.
I've obviously been an advocate of the former, but I truly have sympathy and on many issues agree with the latter.

Don't try, Larry. They don't care.
It's point-scoring time. I suspect they are delighted somebody is dead. Gives them a more dramatic finger point.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

He has sadly proven everything his detractors said about him.
There you go.
As I've said, many times, I had little respect for him as a man.
Today, I have little, if any, respect for him as a leader.
This. Very sad.

BTW, the woman that was shot and killed was a 14-year Air Force veteran, with four tours of duty.

I know they don't care. They are typical Lefties - so self satisfied with their own superior intellect that they're stupid.

Are you talking about me? Are you saying I'm happy somebody is dead?

I asked the question, because it sure as heck sounded as though that is exactly what Jolly said, and I wanted to be sure before I responded.

Yes, I'm sure there are one or two German speakers here in TNCR. Your point?
