I'm having a hard time seeing why I should care about a mostly peaceful protest that resulted in a few hundred people breaking off from the main hundreds of thousands to trespass and harass lawmakers in a building that they left standing when the Left won't even acknowledge that their tens of thousands of riots that took place in which people were murdered, buildings looted and burnt to the ground were uncalled for. One single incident pales in comparison to the tens of thousands from the "other side". Saying a single incident is worse than tens of thousands reminds me of ...
So your disagreeing with what the police said? You know, calling them trump supporters and terrorists?I'm having a hard time seeing why I should care about a mostly peaceful protest
Sorry, I would decide to show highlights, been then most republicans would call it click bait or "the media is wrong" or some other equivalent. So I decided to show as raw footage as possible
Mostly for you personally, The first officer (the one from the domenican republic) had an element in the introduction of his speech, (which according to protocol was "reading a summery of his statements"), which went as follows:The officers noted them as terrorists, and also not antifa, but calling them trump supporters directly.
I point these things out since some of the misinformation and propaganda that republicans have pushed about the situation.
)Acting as if 1/6 was some sort of serious "insurrection" is just pitiful.

None of the defendants has been charged with sedition, fomenting insurrection, attempted murder or anything like that. Because it wasn't that. It was a protest that turned into a 3-hour riot.
Can I downvote this? Our riots are better than your riots, where poeple died?I'm having a hard time seeing why I should care about a mostly peaceful protest that resulted in a few hundred people breaking off from the main hundreds of thousands to trespass and harass lawmakers in a building that they left standing when the Left won't even acknowledge that their tens of thousands of riots that took place in which people were murdered, buildings looted and burnt to the ground were uncalled for.

Your point being? I'd imagine that yes the speeches were manufactured, probably checked with their police department, which is not new. But what does it change? Unless your telling me that you know, the terrorists there, trying to stop an election (remember congress was there certifying the election) and actively looking for members of congress with weapons on them, (which we did see on camera) was not terrorists.What do you think - where those speeches manufactured with a purpose?
I'm pretty sure they (police administration) wrote the "statement" the first officer read, and that those (in large parts) werent his words.Your point being?

Who was surprised that the conservative response would be whataboutism?I'm having a hard time seeing why I should care about a mostly peaceful protest that resulted in a few hundred people breaking off from the main hundreds of thousands to trespass and harass lawmakers in a building that they left standing when the Left won't even acknowledge that their tens of thousands of riots that took place in which people were murdered, buildings looted and burnt to the ground were uncalled for.

Who was surprised conservatives would go full toxic-masculinity and condemn men for crying, all while using anti-woman language (they're already being sexist by condemning a trait perceived to be feminine, so why not use anti-woman language too?)?Yeah I ain't watching 3 and a half hours of grown ass men crying like a bunch of cunts
Its only about an hour. And everyone is always encouraged to watch primary sources. Otherwise you are ending up with some youtuber again, telling you what to think, you know..Yeah I ain't watching 3 and a half hours of grown ass men crying like a bunch of cunts because of them leading the protesters inside the capital themselves, I watched the highlights lol

What, nobody?

We all knew many conservatives were broadly anti-woman, but I didn't think they'd say the quiet part out loud.You won the far right bullshit bingo.
What a whiny salty bunch the far right have become these days.

On 6/1 at least 4 people did die, you know? (Didnt doublecheck, might have been five.)
Ever hear of "Stick and Stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me"? If you cry over words and name calling and you're a grown adult, you deserve to be made fun of, period.
No, no surprise. If you want to see it that way. I'd not even go into race, but just do that argument on political affiliation alone.January 6th was mostly white people, the BLM protests were mostly black people.
Is it any surprise that they would minimize what the white people did while making out the black people were worse?
