    Context continues to matter.

    No complaints to me about context, but I wonder how long will it be that context continues to matter.

    Unless someone told you a BLM antifa were to storm the exact same way, and that they would disapprove of the same lethal action toward an insurrectionist, what you say is pointless.

    I put them all on the same level playing field: " You feck with the people who legitimately represent the interests of the nation; you feck with your life.

    You still had an incident of a cop saying don't come any further, and being forced to open fire because the command wasn't heeded. That situation can happen anywhere. A suspicious looking man approaches a cop and doesn't stop when told, the cop isn't gonna sit around and think "well this isn't a riot in the Capitol, let's just see what happens." The moral of the story is follow police commands, always. No good can come from ignoring US police. I don't think in a cops' mind someone invading their space and being aggressive is any less threatening whether its the Capitol or a BLM protest.

    Any links to the other 4 deaths? Names, jobs, c.o.d etc.

    Can you not use google?

    Can you not use google?

    It's not an unreasonable question. Google is noisy with links that are mixes of fresh and obsolete information about the siege. I was trying to look for it myself!

    I'm just saying that's what will happen. Stories will come out, and Trump will be like '' I told you ''

    More nonsense

    Apologies if I've missed this but this is chilling and damning in equal measure:

    https://mobile.twitter.com/BuzzFeedNews/status/1348027820400914439
    The first glimpse of the deadly tragedy that was about to unfold came at 9 a.m. on the morning of the insurrection for one Black veteran of the US Capitol Police. But it didn’t come from his superiors — instead the officer had to rely on a screenshot from Instagram sent to him by a friend.

    “I found out what they were planning when a friend of mine screenshot me an Instagram story from the Proud Boys saying, ‘We’re breaching the capitol today, guys. I hope y’all ready.’”


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,079 ✭✭✭✭Tell me how


    ^^^

    Seth Abramson has a thread exploring the Proud Boys involvements which starts with their founder demanding that he retract a statement that they were. The thread shows that they were indeed their in force.

    These are the people President Trump told to Stand Back and Stand By at the debate with Joe Biden.

    The difference between a riot and a massacre may have been less than a minute.

    'The Main Stream Media are at fault for painting Trump in a bad light' Trump supporters have been telling us.

    Watch this guy, a host on the most watched cable news network. Particularly 1:05 - 1:25

    Anyone accepting these people saying the Republicans are the party of Law and Order can fcuk off.

    How can impeachment divide the country when everyone seems to agree that Trump incited the violence and that the violence is deplorable?

    He doesn't seem to care that pardons will divide the country!

    The other was shooting a military veteran for crossing a doorway

    "Crossing a doorway". Is that a euphemism for trying to enter the chamber of the seat of government during an attack? And it doesn't matter how many times you mention her military past either, it's irrelevant. Your repeated attempts at defending domestic terrorism is pathetic.

    As a military veteran she had sworn an oath to defend the republic against all enemies, foreign and domestic. She went through a doorway paid for with her taxes to speak to her democratic representatives. Why they were so afraid of an unarmed American that they would prefer to shoot her than speak to her says a lot for where American politics is right now.
    Would anyone like to describe film plots in a manner similar to the above?
    I'll start:
    "Independence Day": homeless community-oriented migrants seeking shelter and reaching out to humanity viciously attacked and exterminated.

    If anything what happened that Military veteran is a sign why Trump and his other goons shouldn't get their profile.

    Babbitt was apparently sane and even voted for Obama last time. Before she got indoctrinated into being a hardcore Trumpist/QAnon nut. She thought "nothing could stop us" so she thought she was bulletproof and could ignore the men with guns doing their job. She should have known from her time in the military that humans are not actually bulletproof. She was stopped.


    And as for "only wanting to talk" her new group (that she was loyal to, not America) bludgeoned a police officer (who would have sworn to protect) to death.

    Trumpism is a cult thats taken over large sections of the GOP.

    That wasn't some mere cop who fired, with Pence just the other side of the barricade their job was to stay there and shoot anything that came through. He wasn't their to play nice cop or arrest anyone for smashing windows, his literal job was to kill any threat to Pence or die trying. The woman jumping through the window knew that and carried on anyway.

    The other officers in the building might be intimidated to make a tactical retreat in the face of the mob approaching them down a corridor, that was never going to happen at that point and anything going through that window was going to be shot.

    That is class thanks for sharing. Just shows the mind boggling double standards.
    They talk about presidential and then have the gall to support Trump. (Not even counting last wed events)

    Steve Bannon and Alex Jones would think twice before posting this.

    I'm sure if I took the time I'd find you on a BLM thread saying the police actions were justified in using force on protestors. My God but this is some take to put your name to.

    Jaysus, what a load of nonsense. The kind of delusion you'd expect to see on TheDonald, not on boards.

    Im loving all the salty tears from parler users crying about censorship now they are being kicked off AWS hosting and azure + all other US services have also blackballed them.

    This from the same group of people who are rabidly free market and fought for a cake shop to be able to refuse to make a gay cake.

    It really is a case of rules for thee and not for me.

    Some of the deadliest American domestic terrorists in recent years honed their skills while serving in the U.S. military. Timothy McVeigh and Eric Rudolph immediately come to mind.

    Right-wing extremists often target law enforcement and military personnel, and look to bring them into the fold.

    The men climbing the steps with their hands on each others shoulders definitely look to be operating under some kind of military type of instruction.

    Man believes an unarmed woman shouldn't have been shot dead for entering a building. And I am the crazy one.

    Not just any building, not just ‘entering’ that building, and not on her own, she was with a mob of lunatics, many of whom were armed, and she had a backpack which could have had anything in it

    If she didn’t think she was risking her life by doing what she did then she has just single handedly proven the concept of ‘white privilege’ cause a single black person or Muslim breaking into the capital would have been shot on sight

    Ex-Young Lords gangbanger from the 70's in NYC is somehow a conservative icon, and speaks absolute madness on that video. Pardoning these criminals is a good thing? Ted Cruz is brilliant but a dirt-bag opportunist? Up is down? Dark is light? What next? Largest inauguration in history? Biggest electoral victory?

    Go away, Geraldo. Go find Al Capone's treasure.

    Some posters here think they were just disgruntled civilians who wanted to have a chat with their political representatives.
    The delusion of the MAGA cult knows no bounds.

    It also doesn’t help when people are around guns constantly. People joining militias and playing soldiers in the woods on Saturday of course they’re going to think they can do whatever they want. The constitution is treated like it was written by geniuses and has magical powers whereas it’s an out of date document written for a different time.
    Life has been cheapened by a large part of American society and not just along party lines by the way whether it’s racist rednecks or Californian gang members they think very little of life and that gets into society as a whole.

    At this stage, the articles of impeachment should be longer than his NDAs...

    Even Donald Trump condemed her and the others.
