It certainly seems like the majority of people were doing just as described... wandering the halls and taking selfies. A few people were extremely aggressive. One of them, unarmed and no significant present threat I might add... probably wouldn't have qualified in ANY state as 'self-defense' was killed as a result. I don't think that was on the police's playbook either, but it happened.

What happened that day was FAR less destructive and violent than what happened for most of the summer, and yes... it was also much more effective in that even though it was short lived, it actually DID lead to a delay in proceedings. I'm unaware of any similar accomplishment for the Portland or other protests.... peaceful or not. I think the problem I have with your position here is that you seem to view disrupting a legal proceeding as being a crime... but if that is precisely what you are protesting, then how is it any different than someone who (as an example) delays the demolition of a building by chaining themselves to it? It's a crime, per se.... but they believe that what they are protesting is a more serious one. We can disagree on that point, but shouldn't we be celebrating someone's right to actually seek redress through protest of the actual event and not some tertiary action like kneeling before a football game (behind armed police security I might add) to protest police brutality?

SOme nations, Germany in particular... actually celebrates protesting. They have it down to a science. There is little to no violence because there is almost an unwritten rule where if you protest, that which you are protesting gets a forum/a delay in its action. They often actually PLAN for such delays.

I wonder what would have happened if Congress... aware that there was a protest on their doorstep... gave an actual forum for those people to be heard... delaying their vote for say 24 hours or what have you to have that discussion??

I find it interesting that the people who squawked the loudest over riots in the summer of '20 seemingly choose to overlook the riot at the Capitol that seemingly was trying to stop the certification.

And they complain about the people who squawk about the actuality at the Capitol and choose to overlook the issues of the summer of '20.

Mirror image issues I guess.

Seemingly neither side chooses to be honest about either and both.

Selective choice on being law and order. Fun fun fun.

lol. Nobody "overlooks it". Thats just a flat out lie. Show me one person who has said they think it should be completely ignored. What Ive seen is everyone saying we just dont see any difference between the Jan 6th riot and and virtually any other riot in 2020. Where exactly was all the Congressional Democrat action to call an end to the week long siege of the White House in the summer of 2020? I remember DC and other Democrat controlled entities denying the White House security the help it asked for. I remember the White House had to go round up federal officers controlled by the Executive Branch in order to beat back the rioters. Literally HUNDREDS of officers were injured during that week. Where's your outrage about that? Where's the hearings? Where's the concern? Why dont YOU ever demand answers and accountability on that? If anyone is a hypocrite on this issue---its YOU. The only difference between that White House siege and Jan6th was one had a competent security plan and the other did not. That is the ONLY difference.

Most on the right here equate Jan 6 to a bunch of people taking selfies. So yes, those that state that overlook it. Absolutely.

And during the events of the sumemr of 20 I *absolutely* was outraged by those actions. Try looking at the Rice political board for my comments there on that then. That is before you mouth off at me for being a hypocrite.

Im on board with you on the events of the summer of 20. You dont need to do the purported 'whataboutism' whirling dervish defense to me. It is a stupid defense overall. One that my bratty 7 year old nephew makes all the time -- 'she did it first'.

Even more so considering my comments during and after the events of summer 20. And continuing even through the Rittenhouse trial.

I called for strict law and order responses to the summer of 20. And the same for Jan 6.

So again, just shut your piehole with your kneejerk "hypocrite" garbage on that with me. It comes across as grossly ignorant.

Look at the baby cry and whine about being "misrepresented" when thats EXACTLY what you did-----misrepresented the position of virtually everyone on this board claiming that they think Jan6th should be ignored. Funny that. Now go take youre self righteous sniveling home and let your mommy wipe your nose---maybe she will care. I dont.

What do you call this quote from *just* today: "A bunch of folks strolling around the capitol taking selfies is neither an armed insurrection nor a threat to democracy."

Yeah, there is nothing in there that overlooks the riot at the Capitol on the 6th.

Or again just today some doltish comment that since Ray Epps wasnt prosecuted it is all a setup.

Or yet again today, the jacktard ignorant as **** comment that 'well the guards left all the doors wide open and invited everyone in' (paraphrase). 3 just from today. Funny that. Not to mention your asinine attempt to 'whadabout' just a few posts ago. Are you intentionally obtuse?

So just today I have some pretty rich fodder for my comments. Funny that. Maybe you missed it.

And yes, when you say "hypocrite" with zero facts, and what you allege is simply dead flipping wrong -- I absolutely will tell you are are being a *******. I told you where I made my statements -- go look at them Einstein. I gave you facts from today above, and giving you where to look for more facts.

At least man up and say you pulled that accusation out of your ass. Bu you cant. You simply try and redirect from your own smarmy ass allegation. Absolutely rich.

Go piss up a rope with your ******* 'pull it out of your ass' statements, homey.

Instead of you snarling that I take my righteous ass home, maybe take *your* ignorant pull it out of your ass home instead. Maybe it will help with the drivel you jsut pumped out into the world.
