    yes and no but those who pretend the 1/6 riots were worse than 9-11 while acting as if the BLM riots were justified are complete clowns IMHO

    when people who trespassed are getting several years in jail while marxist lawyers who firebombed police vehicles only get 1-2 years, there is something wrong

    The official report doesn't say the shooting was justified. It said they didn't think they could prosecute him. There's a very big difference from a justified shooting and we don't think we can get a conviction so we aren't going to prosecute.

    The shooting was in violation of guidelines.

    I was responding to your "equivalence example of a store looting" ... BTW. But, still, conflating the argument doesn't prove equivalence.

    No, it is not. Go back to historic riots and how they were adjudicated.

    There is no history of Americans attacking their own government. IMHO, the insurrectionists got off light. There was a time they would have been executed for treason. I'm not saying that's what should have happened but, considering what they did. They are being sentence more than fairly.

    Of course they will. Why wouldn't we do the same thing to y'all that you did to us? You set the precedent.

    you don't think firebombing police stations and patrol cars is an attack on government? the sentences for the 1/6 rioters were far more severe than people who actually engaged in felonious assault, attempted murder and/or arson

    They literally attacked the courthouse in Oregon I think it was for over 150 days, laying siege to it, beating cops with baseball bats, batons, pipes and dozens of other weapons including shields and homemade IED's. They blockaded officers and personnel inside the building and set it on fire.

    And they got less than some of the j6 rioters got lol the left's faux concern is hilarious

    That is AbsaByGodLutely untrue.

    "Department of Justice Closes Investigation into the Death of Ashli Babbitt
    The investigation revealed no evidence to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that the officer willfully committed a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 242. Specifically, the investigation revealed no evidence to establish that, at the time the officer fired a single shot at Ms. Babbitt, the officer did not reasonably believe that it was necessary to do so in self-defense or in defense of the Members of Congress and others evacuating the House Chamber. Acknowledging the tragic loss of life and offering condolences to Ms. Babbitt’s family, the U.S. Attorney’s Office and U.S. Department of Justice have therefore closed the investigation into this matter."

    There is no equivalence to what happened during the BLM riots, the Watts riots or any other riot to what happened on January 6th 2021 when American's attacked their own Federal Government and OUR Capitol Building, OUR elected representatives and those charged with it's defense.

    The difference is plain, the punishments for both were/are appropriate.

    The only "pretending" is by those that are attempting to justify what happened at the Capitol.

    IF it had been hijacked at least one of the 60+ lawsuits would have made it to the Supeme's and "Trump's" DOJ and Congress would have looked into it. But none did and the EC election certification was proceeding Constitutionally. IOW, Trump had many opportunities to prove his big lie and failed ... EVERY time. Even his AG said his claims were "BULLSHIT".

    What did I do to you? Just wondering? I'm not even a US citizen and can't vote.

    But, talking about setting a precedent, if Trump gets off scot free, it will be okay for a candidate to pressure secretaries of state to find enough votes for them to win. You will be fine wiht this if Biden does it? My guess is, you'll sing a different tune.

    This doesn't say he acted appropriately or followed use of force guidelines. It also doesn't say it was a justified shooting. It says they can't prosecute him or prove he wasn't afraid. Police officers don't get to shoot unarmed people who aren't an imminent threat because they fear something. That's why they have use of force guidelines.

    IF, whomever "all" mounts an attack on our government, I would hope that they would be treated exactly the same. Each individual was investigated, tried and, if found guilty, sentenced appropriately for the seriousness of their involvement. Since nothing like that had happened before I think that's a GREAT "precedent".

    In my fathers day, if OUR Capitol had been raped like it was, anybody that would have crossed the outer barrier would have been tried for treason and shot.

    What's your point? That he should have let Babbitt and her mob jump the barrier, uncontested, and let lose to attack Congress and their aids?

    You said; "the shooting was in violation of guidelines". It WASN'T!

    The riots and the attack on our Capitol are not equivalent. The key word is SOME, a lot of the people that participated in the 1/6 insurrection got off very lightly considering they ALL could have been charged with treason and shot, yet not one, was.

    The concern that Americans had the temerity to attack their own government is very real and has nothing to do with left or right; but what's right.

    Obviously I'm referring to the left and democrats.

    If the votes are legitimate votes I fail to see the problem?

    But be careful because if they rule the other way, it opens up a Pandora's box of bringing criminal charges against former POTUS'

    You're right they're not even REMOTELY equivalent in the damage or violence caused.

    "THEY" again.

    You realize that WE have 240 years of history were our SYSTEM of government has stood up to many challenges and NEVER, EVER FAILED.

    But, now, because the worst CONMAN in World History says it's broken, in spite of ALL evidence to the contrary, his sycophants are running around with their hair on fire claiming foul and the rest of U.S. are supposed to take them seriously.

    Well, we are. Trump and his seditious cartel are a threat to OUR beloved Constitution and Government. It doesn't get anymore serious.

    Which has nothing to do with anything. "They" challenged the way of life, of every last American. There is nothing compares to that.

    Yes, on this I am right ... correct.
