You were not accurate in your post.
Then you can check your facts before you post.
You don't know the facts, but you keep posting anyway.
LOL tell the truth and I won't have to reply,
Sorry Corbell, you have revealed repeatedly that you are misinformed. You are learning the facts about J6 as we reply to you.
Except they are using Trump ideology as motivation for their rampages, it's not random with these guys.
BS It wasn't. His Secret Service protection team sent messages to their families telling them they loved them and were thinking of them because they knew that given what they were up against they might not make it out alive.
A noose in the US is never just window dressing. Either you have never been to the US or are very ignorant of American history concerning nooses and the KKK, Neo-Confederates, and Southern States.
Well, then let's see.
It's not a prop. Whoever built it planned it, prefabricating the parts for it, the platform, the steps, and the pre-measured- precut 2x4 support beams, screws, nails, and bolts, to be portably carried there and quickly constructed. Take a close look at this picture.
The agents in DC on J 6 did not provoke the riot. You are promoting lies for trump.
Of course your resort ad homian personal attacks. You have no argument; you lost.
That's "hanging but not gallows"? Is there a difference really if the result is the same? Gallows with trap doors typically have a longer noose so that the momentum of the drop will be more likely to snap the neck, But it doesn't always work out that way. The gallows you described were constructed exactly as you described for the execution of the Lincoln assassination co-conspirators Mary Surratt, Lewis Powell, David Herold, and George Atzerodt. Surratt and Atzerodt appeared to die rather quickly. Powell and Herold however struggled for nearly 5 minutes, strangling to death. Note how short the noose was on the Jan 6 gallows and remember that the condemned typically will have hands and arms bound behind their backs and their legs bound together at the knees and the ankles. So stepping off it would not produce the kind of swing you describe but would likely result in the same sort of slow strangulation that befell Herold and Atzerodt. Either way, you're dead. The latter would certainly be more painful. So with that would you be willing to test out the functionality of the Jan 6 gallows for yourself?Does it have the trapdoor to drop out from under the noose? That's how gallows worked. Not pushing people off. If Pushed/jump off, you swing back against structure, lose direct drop weight, can even get knees back up on platform. Very inefficient, might not even work. Hence the trap door.
Historically, they did that from the top of stuff, noose around neck, and just threw them off. That's hanging but not a gallows.
Just because they built it strong enough to support people standing on it doesnt make it a functioning gallows. But it still had to be big enough to be seen and intimidate.
You flatter me but I must point out there was no trickery. Very interesting that you thought there was.
If we are discussing structures and the meaning of the word "gallows," perhaps we should examine its meaning.

It certainly appears to me the structure constructed on Jan 6 fully meets that definition. Bolted 2x4s in that classic post and beam construction are inherently very sturdy.
They could have, but they didn't. They made it a very overt threat to the people within the Capitol by openly constructing it on the Capitol grounds. And how do you know they really wouldn't have used it?
It wasn't a threat. It was a challenge. One that you sound unsure of as you said "That doesn't mean that it could hold the weight of a struggling man." The inverse of that would be that it doesn't mean that it couldn't either. I believe it could have easily held the weight of a struggling male for however long it takes for him to die.And your threat is childish.
