    I see you avoided answering the following questions that I asked you in the previous post. We all know why you won't ;)

    But how does it change what is going on in the picture? Who brings a bat to a "peaceful" protest? Who brings a respirator to a "peaceful" protest?
    Do you know if he has arrested?


    I already told you I have no idea if he was arrested. Obviously I don't know who he is. Neither do I know anyone else in the hundreds of pictures from that do. Nor does it change what is going on in the pic.
    See, unlike you, I actually answer questions.

    They were trying to prevent a duly elected president from being confirmed, you know putting their views ahead of the freedom to vote. They were, in fact fighting against freedom.

    Was he a Trump supporter? I am as curious as you when you ask the question "who brings a bat to the Capitol?" I know Trump supporter who would never bring a bat to the Capitol..Since it is your picture, maybe you actually knew more about it..

    He’s standing next to Trump supporters so I don’t think it would be a stretch to assume he’s a Trump supporter. But that’s just a wild guess. I mean, were you ever standing next to BLM rioters? I’m gonna guess no.
    I know Trump supporters who wouldn’t bring a bat to the Capitol too….so what? What does that have to do with this guy bringing a bat and the others wearing respirators?
    If the above post is your defense, I hope to god you’re not a lawyer.

    Sure.

    That's why the guy they have video evidence of telling people they need to break into the capitol was neither arrested or charged.

    The people who engaged in zero violence were.

    On these boards?

    The severe amount of hypocrisy and social degradation that they either excuse or support in the name of woke politics is what determines my response on these boards.

    Someone else being a hypocrite shouldn't cause you to become one.

    If your statements don't hold up to a mirror, then you have a problem.

    If they legit felt that the election was rigged or stolen, then they could have a valid excuse to show their discontent.

    I believe that due to the radical departure from normal procedure due to the covid bullshit...this was bound to happen regardless of who won.

    They do and they have.

    I've never had a problem being consistent in holding those accountable who have caused harm.

    and there is ONE hour of George Floyd videos for every one minute of January 6th videos..see where I am going with this??

    compare the janiary 6th riots to each of the george floyd riots..

    lets say 50% of the george floyd riots caused damage and deaths

    100% of the trump riots caused damage and deaths

    maybe if Rittenhouse would have been in DC that day he could have protected the policemen

    The officers were smart not wanting to engage with the mob and escalate violence within the capital building by trying to arrest/cuff etc the protesters.

    Had they and Trumpers were hurt or killed all we'd be hearing is they never should have tried to arrest them they weren't hurting anyone.blah-blah-blah.

    The officers were outnumbered hundreds to one.

    Hilarious that Carlson and his ilk believe this is some kind of "gotcha" footage.

    'What to know about the Tucker Carlson January 6 footage'

    snip:

    "In court documents, however, prosecutors say that Capitol Police officers repeatedly tried to engage with Chansley and others in the crowd, asking them to leave.

    Prosecutors say that Chansley disobeyed that request and walked to the Senate floor. Video from that day shows officers following Chansley around the building, and an officer walks into the chamber with Chansley and continues to ask rioters to leave.

    Additionally, Capitol Police officers have testified at several January 6 trials that after the initial wave of rioters entered the building, they felt outnumbered and were afraid of escalating violence by engaging with the mob. Members of the crowd were therefore able to walk into the building without much, or any, physical resistance, according to the officers."

    1 riot versus dozen's if not hundreds?

    How about Jacob Blake? Or any other bullshit racist riot based off of a false narrative designed to illicit a violent response.

    Rightwing terrorism has hardly been limited to just this attempt to stop the peaceful transition of power in a presidential election. It's true that rightwing terrorists tend to work alone or in small groups, but that's not an excuse.

    Before or after the doors and windows were busted in and the violent mob, who was chanting for murder, had assaulted LEOs?

    Facts..... Chansley was escorted around the Capitol and Sicknick did not die at the Capitol that day... keep spinning my liberal friend..

    "outnumbered and were afraid" Funny how it shows the lack of security ..... What would this look like if the 10,000 Guard were there? Will they release the emails now to show Pelosi declined the Guard Trump authorized...

    But your belief that the kangaroo court wouldn't edit tapes isn't your bias?

    If you are under the impression that the government has taken away your democracy, you are allowed to revolt. In the case of January 6. I still do not believe the intention was to cause a revolt. I think it was a large group of Trumpers getting caught up in the moment and suddenly being given access to a government building. They had no plans to take over the government based on their being armed with cell phones and flags. And those who were arrested got exactly what they deserved.

    Yeah, let's just ignore what they were actually chanting for . . . and what they've said about their intentions . . . and the fact that some of them were more armed than that . . . and that they assaulted LEOs . . . and that your narrative about them being "allowed to revolt" for being idiots is complete garbage.

    Yes, it doesn't take an examination of the minutia within the video surveillance, to determine if this was, on balance, a violent attack on the Capitol. Just the large, group shots show this, quite clearly. What we saw broadcast live, on January 6th, even made this fact, evidently clear. People who've had their heads in the sand, denying the reality of any of that, want to look at the few images which Tucker picks out, and use those to create an image of the entire event.

    The thing is, though, the MSM had not hidden such images from us; we did see footage of some, just walking through the Capitol, like tourists. But those of us who aren't just tourists of truth, understood that one needed an overarching view of this conglomerate of protestors, to fully appreciate the scope and magnitude of their actions; not merely, to focus on a few small details.
